Dublin, Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Graphene Market 2026-2036" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global graphene market has reached a critical inflection point in 2025, transitioning from a predominantly research-focused sector to a commercially viable industry with established production capabilities and expanding application portfolios. Investment activity in 2025 demonstrates growing confidence in graphene commercialization, with over $185 million in disclosed funding through October 2025.
Paragraf led 2025 funding rounds with a substantial $55 million Series C investment, supporting the company's expansion of wafer-scale graphene electronics manufacturing for semiconductor and sensor applications. This represents the largest single funding round for a graphene company in 2025 and validates the commercial potential of graphene-based electronics. CamGraPhIC, a Cambridge University spinout, secured €25 million ($27 million) in funding for its graphene-based integrated circuits, demonstrating strong European investor interest in next-generation electronics applications.
The investment supports the company's transition from research prototypes to commercial production of graphene photonic integrated circuits for optical communications. Elemental Advanced Materials raised $20 million in 2024-2025, led by climate technology investor Taranis, to scale its patented single-step manufacturing process converting hydrocarbon waste into high-performance graphene and clean hydrogen simultaneously. Black Swan Graphene completed C$6 million (~$4.4 million) equity financing in February 2025, supporting global commercialization and capacity expansion of its proprietary sustainable graphene production technology using renewable feedstocks.
The convergence of maturing technology, expanding commercial applications, and sustained investment - with cumulative documented funding exceeding $1.2 billion across the sector - positions graphene for accelerated market penetration through 2025 and beyond, particularly in high-value applications where its unique properties justify premium pricing.
The Global Graphene Market 2026-2036 report provides comprehensive intelligence on one of the most transformative materials of the 21st century, offering strategic insights for investors, manufacturers, technology developers, and end-users navigating the rapidly evolving graphene industry. This 550+ page report examines graphene's transition from laboratory curiosity to commercially viable material, with detailed forecasts projecting market expansion from current production levels to multi-billion-dollar valuations by 2036.
The report addresses a critical inflection point as the graphene industry scales from pilot facilities to industrial volumes, manufacturing costs decline through process optimization and economies of scale, and major corporations increasingly integrate graphene into commercial products. With profiles of >380 companies and extensive market data spanning 25+ application sectors, this report serves as the definitive resource for understanding graphene's commercial landscape through the next decade.
Market analysis reveals graphene's expanding footprint across energy storage (lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium-air batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, solar cells, hydrogen storage), electronics (transistors, semiconductors, flexible electronics, memory devices, conductive inks), advanced materials (composites, plastics, construction materials, 3D printing), functional coatings (paints, anti-corrosion, thermal management, EMI shielding), specialized applications (membranes, filtration, textiles, wearables, rubber, adhesives, lubricants), and emerging opportunities in biomedicine, sensors, and optoelectronics. Each sector receives detailed quantification of market size, identifying high-growth segments where graphene's exceptional properties - including superior electrical conductivity (200 copper), mechanical strength (100 steel), thermal performance (10 copper), and atomically thin structure - deliver compelling value propositions.
Comprehensive technology readiness level (TRL) assessments track 50+ distinct applications from early research (TRL 3-4) through pilot production (TRL 6-7) to commercial deployment (TRL 8-9), providing realistic market entry timelines. Detailed roadmaps extending to 2036 outline technology milestones, manufacturing scale-up trajectories, performance improvements, and commercial deployment schedules for each application sector, enabling readers to distinguish near-term opportunities from longer-term potential.
The investment landscape receives extensive analysis, examining over $1.2 billion in cumulative graphene sector funding. The report profiles venture capital trends, government support programs (including the €1 billion European Graphene Flagship, substantial Chinese provincial initiatives, and U.S. DOE funding), and strategic corporate partnerships driving commercialization.
Production capacity analysis examines global manufacturing infrastructure, with detailed profiles of major producers in Asia (China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia), North America (USA, Canada), Europe (UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Poland), and emerging regions. The report quantifies production capacities by graphene type (CVD graphene, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, graphene nanoplatelets, pristine graphene, functionalized graphene, quantum dots, nanoribbons, 3D foams, liquid crystals, hybrid materials) and tracks capacity expansions through 2036.
Pricing analysis provides granular data across all graphene forms, from premium CVD films to commodity nanoplatelets ($50-$500/kg), analyzing price trends, cost reduction trajectories, and factors influencing pricing including purity, layer count, production method, and application requirements. Historical pricing data (2018-2025) combined with forecasts enable readers to model cost-performance tradeoffs and identify price-sensitive versus premium market segments.
