Chinese Graphite Export Restrictions

Chinese Graphite Export Restrictions

From Dec 2023, operators must apply for special licenses to export graphite products outside China

China exports over:

China dominates the supply of natural and synthetic graphite and anode active material

100kt per annum natural graphite, principally to Japan, South Korea, USA, India and Europe;

60kt per annum spherical graphite, principally to Japan, South Korea and USA

80kt per annum AAM (principally to Japan, South Korea and USA).

Chinese dominance in graphite supply is fuelling search for alternative sources (see Raw Materials Section in Industry for further background).
