Analysis of China's Graphite Industry: Opportunities, Issues and Suggestions

Based on the classification of graphite products, the importance of graphite in the national economy is analyzed. The opportunities and issues of China's graphite industry are analyzed under the background of a new round of industrial revolution. The results show that China is rich in graphite resources and has the power to control resources production and export. The transfer of graphite consumption offers new opportunities of demand growth. China's graphite industry makes technical breakthrough and develops fast. However, China's graphite resources are over-developed, while the graphite industry is still in the middle and lower side of the value chain. The graphite industry standard is out of date, and the graphene industry is lack of unified planning and terminal application. Based on these analysises, it suggests that the access standard of graphite industry should be improved; the high technology research and development should be strengthened; the standard system should be built; and the innovation systems in three levels should be established.
