Global Li-ion Hard Carbon Material Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032

The global Li-ion Hard Carbon Material market size is expected to reach $ 193 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 29.6% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

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.

Global key players of Li-ion Hard Carbon Material include Best Graphite (Chengdu BSD), Kuraray, Shengquan Group, etc. The top three players hold a share about 91%. China is the largest market, and has a share about 54%. In terms of product type, Bio-based is the largest segment, accounting for a share of 94%. In terms of application, Power Battery is the largest field with a share about 76 percent.
