APAC is estimated to contribute 45% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The high growth rate of the regional market is fuelled by the increased demand for graphene cells in the automotive, electronics, aerospace, and electrical industries. In addition, the rise in the demand for electric and hybrid vehicles in countries such as China, India, and Japan is fueling the consumption of graphene for the production of graphene cells such as Li-ion cells. Moreover, China is one of the major producers of graphene in the region. In addition, China is currently the country where graphene powder is used the most (graphene powder is used in battery conductive additives, lithium battery materials, and special coatings; graphene film is used for thermally conductive films, flexible displays, and sensors). Furthermore, because graphene film has advantages such as high thermal conductivity and small size, it is used more frequently in industries such as wearable technology, computers, and smartphones. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth in APAC during the forecast period.
The rise in sales of passenger cars is notably driving the market. The growth of the automotive sector, particularly in the consumer electronics market, is significantly impacted by the positive correlation between automotive lithium-ion cells' sales and the market expansion of passenger cars. Passenger cars, with a focus on fuel efficiency and enhanced comfort in crossovers and SUVs, dominate the global automotive cells market. This will increase the demand for graphene-enhanced batteries. The availability of lower interest rates on car loans globally has empowered consumers to invest in larger and more luxurious vehicles.
Major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), exemplified by Toyota, are strategically planning manufacturing activities to boost passenger car production. Toyota's initiative to relocate auto production to Mexico aligns with the increasing global demand for SUVs and crossovers, with the flagship model Corolla set to be manufactured at the new plant. In 2023, India witnessed substantial sales of approximately 4-4.5 million passenger vehicles, leading to a 70-75% increase in carmakers' passenger vehicle inventory in January 2024 compared to January 2023. The growing disposable income trend has further propelled passenger vehicle sales, creating a heightened demand for efficient cells in the automotive sector. Thus, the growing preference for fuel efficiency and the comfort of traveling will fuel the demand for graphene batteries which in turn drive the global market during the forecast period.
Growing environmental concerns regarding graphene batteries are a major challenge hindering market growth. The environmental impact of batteries is estimated in terms of disposable and rechargeable cells. In addition, the rising demand for consumer cells is primarily due to the rapid growth in the use of portable power-consuming products such as laptop computers, cellular phones, video cameras, and toys. Furthermore, every year, consumers dispose of billions of cells, all containing corrosive or toxic materials.
Moreover, some batteries contain toxic metals such as lead, lithium, cadmium, and mercury, which pose a threat to consumer health and the environment if disposed of improperly. In addition, electronic waste (e-waste) refers to the waste produced by discarding electronic devices, especially from consumer electronics. Furthermore, the chemicals used to produce cells pose a threat to the environment. Therefore, such toxic materials used in batteries will hamper the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
