Fastmarkets launches US graphite flake price assessment to enhance transparency and support energy transition.

Fastmarkets has launched a price assessment for US graphite flake to enhance transparency for battery manufacturers, producers, and investors amid rising demand for battery-grade materials. US graphite demand is expected to increase by over 600% by 2034. This initiative supports the energy transition and aligns with US efforts to reduce reliance on Chinese graphite, which dominates global production, as the country aims for a more independent supply chain.
