The medical industry is always focusing on research & development activities in order to develop enhanced products, devices, and technologies that can help patients in an effective manner. There are still an extensive number of diseases for which no proper treatment or cure is available, most common of them is cancer. Attributed to this, the demand for graphene in the healthcare industry is growing rapidly. The material is utilized to manufacture bioelectric sensors, which track hemoglobin, cholesterol, and glucose levels, on account of its high strength and thinness. It is also utilized in dental implants, therapeutic tools, prosthetic devices, and for treatment of cancer.
Graphene is the building block of graphite, and has one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms that are arranged in a hexagonal lattice. At one atom thickness, it is the thinnest material that is known to man and is strong as well. In addition to this, graphene is also an excellent conductor of electricity and heat and has light absorption abilities. Because of these factors, the global graphene market is predicted to reach a value of $646.8 million by 2030, rising from $87.5 million in 2019, progressing at a 20.2% CAGR during the forecast period (2020–2030).

Dispersion and powder are two forms in which graphene is available. Between these two, the demand for graphene in the form of powder was higher in the past, as this form is preferred for printing technologies, batteries and sensors. In addition to this, graphene is easier to manage and handle in powder form as compared to flakes and dispersion. Other than biomedical, graphene also finds applications in composites, electrical & electronics, and energy sectors. The largest demand for graphene was created for electrical & electronics applications in the past and the situation is expected to remain the same in the years to come as well.
Graphene is used widely for manufacturing flexible displays, touch screen coatings, and precise sensors, which can be ascribed to its excellent mechanical strength and electrical conductivity. Other than this, the demand for graphene is also projected to increase significantly for composite applications in the near future. This is because the material is widely being adopted for metal and polymer composites, which, in turn, is because of its favorable properties. In addition to this, graphene composites are predicted to be widely adopted in the production of renewables, engineering materials for aerospace, and medical devices because of increasing research & development projects in the domain.
Geographically, Asia-Pacific has been the largest graphene market up till now, which is primarily due to the high consumption of this materials in energy, medical, and electrical & electronics sectors in China. Furthermore, the applications of graphene is also increasing in aerospace and automotive industries in South Korea, China, and India. Other than this, the demand for graphene is also expected to increase in North America in the coming years, on account of increasing utilization of this material in composites. In conclusion, the demand for graphene is growing due to its increasing utilization in the manufacturing of medical devices and as composites.
