India`s graphite import shipments in 2024 saw significant diversification from top exporting countries such as China, Madagascar, Mozambique, Germany, and Tanzania. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicated a shift from very high concentration in 2023 to moderate concentration in 2024, reflecting a more balanced market landscape. With a notable Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.08% from 2020 to 2024 and a growth rate of 25.19% from 2023 to 2024, the graphite import market in India is showing resilience and potential for further expansion.

The graphite market in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2020 to 2026, reaching USD 1.67billion by 2026. This growth can be attributed to increasing demand for graphite electrode in steel making and rising investment in renewable energy projects. Moreover, expanding automotive industry along with growing investments into electric vehicles are also expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. The Indian government has made several efforts towards establishing an efficient battery manufacturing system and encouraging adoption of electric vehicles which would further aid the market expansion during the forecast period (2020-2026).
