  • "India will surely be a global source for flake graphite in view of the size and quality of its resources," he told IM. "The ability of China to supply the world's flake graphite requirements at unmatchable prices, as it did until a few years ago, no longer exists." "For Turkey, Europe is the main target," [Sait Uysal] said. "The continent is importing more than 150,000 tpa of graphite, of which 50,000 - 100,000 tpa is amorphous," Uysal said, adding that Turkey has very important competitive advantages for Europe.

    "There is a market for final product amorphous graphite both in Mexico and the US; approximately 60% of the graphite market is amorphous graphite, and the vast majority of worldwide amorphous production in from China," [Kletas] noted.
