Global Hard Carbon Material Market Research Report 2025
Synopsis
Hard carbon is a solid form of carbon that cannot be converted to graphite by heat-treatment, even at temperatures as high as 3000°C. It is also known as char, or non-graphitizing carbon. More colloquially it can be described as charcoal. Hard carbon is produced by heating carbonaceous precursors to approximately 1000°C in the absence of oxygen. Among the precursors for hard carbon are polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), lignin and sucrose. Other precursors, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and petroleum coke, produce soft carbon, or graphitizing carbon. Soft carbon can be readily converted to graphite by heating to 3000°C.
The global Hard Carbon Material market was valued at US$ 94 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach US$ 6395 million by 2030, witnessing a CAGR of 71.0% during the forecast period 2024-2030.
Global key players of hard carbon material include Kuraray, HiNa Battery Technology, Best Graphite, Shengquan Group, Sumitomo, etc. The top five players hold a share about 99%. China is the largest market, has a share about 67%, followed by North America and Japan, with share 25% and 4%, separately.
