Japan's graphite import shipments in 2024 were primarily sourced from key suppliers including China, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, USA, and Brazil. Despite a negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -4.31% from 2020 to 2024, the market experienced a significant decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -28.75%. The High Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicated a continued high concentration of imports among these top countries, highlighting the competitive landscape and challenges within the market.

The Japan graphite market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.10% during the forecast period 2020-2026. The increasing demand from end user industries such as automotive, electronics and electricals, construction, oil & gas and others are some of the major factors driving the growth of Japan graphite market in this region. Furthermore, growing usage in lithium ion battery electrode materials coupled with rise in consumer spending on electronic devices are anticipated to propel the industry over the forecast timeline. On other hand high cost associated with production processes along with adverse environmental effects due to pollution generated by these processes might act as restraining factor for this industry?s development over near future.
