The graphene microchip market continues to expand and industry concentration increases

​​​​​According to the number of carbon atom layers, graphene is generally divided into graphene microsheets, multi-layer graphene and single-layer graphene. Graphene microflakes, also known as nanographite microflakes, refer to ultra-thin graphene layered accumulations with more than 10 carbon layers and a thickness in the range of 5.0-100.0 nanometers. Graphene microsheets maintain the crystal structure of natural graphite and have the advantages of good electrical conductivity, good thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and good flexibility. They can improve the heat dissipation and thermal conductivity of plastics.

​ ​​ Graphene microsheets are a segmented product of graphene, accounting for nearly 70.0% of its market share. In recent years, my country’s graphene industry has developed rapidly, and the government has introduced many policies to support it. In 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the “Key Points of Industrial and Information Standardization Work”, clearly proposing to develop standards for key new materials such as graphene, high-temperature alloy materials for aerospace engines, and high-end steel materials. This will further promote the development of my country’s graphene industry in a standardized direction. With the support of national policies, the prosperity of the graphene microchip industry will continue to increase.

​ ​​ Graphene microsheets are used in a wide range of applications, including biopharmaceuticals, conductive plastics, optoelectronic devices, etc. In the field of biopharmaceuticals, graphene microsheets, as pharmaceutical intermediates, have the function of efficiently carrying drugs; in the field of conductive plastics, graphene microsheets can improve the strength, corrosion resistance, and antistatic properties of conductive plastics due to their performance advantages. properties, etc.; in the field of optoelectronic devices, graphene microchips can be used to manufacture wide-band photodetectors, optical modulators, and pulse lasers. According to the “2022-2027 China Graphene Microchip Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center , driven by market demand, the scale of my country’s graphene microsheet market continues to expand, exceeding 18 billion yuan in 2021.

my country’s graphene microscopic market competition is fierce and the industry concentration is high. Xinjiang Zhongtai Chemical Co., Ltd., Shanghai Huali Family Co., Ltd., Fangda Carbon New Material Technology Co., Ltd., and Shenzhen Jiawei Photovoltaic Lighting Co., Ltd. are the main manufacturers of graphene microsheets in my country. Xinjiang Zhongtai Chemical Co., Ltd. is my country’s leading enterprise of graphene microchips. Xiamen Kaina, a subsidiary of Zhongtai Chemical, has made many new progress in the research of graphene microflakes. The graphene microflakes KNG-180 series it developed can be used to produce conductive ink for biological detection reagents.

Industry analysts said that graphene microsheets have excellent performance and are widely used in many fields. With the development of biopharmaceuticals, conductive plastics, and optoelectronics Device and other industries are developing rapidly, and the graphene microchip market will further expand. With the support of national policies, the development prospects of my country’s graphene microchip industry continue to improve. As local enterprises continue to innovate in production and R&D technology, the concentration of my country’s graphene microsheet industry will increase.
