China’s graphite imports are now up 2000% over the last 18 months

 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

China continues to ramp up natural graphite imports to meet rising domestic demand from its lithium-ion battery sector.

According to Roskill, monthly imports are now up 2000 per cent since the end of 2017, with almost all new supply coming from Mozambique and Madagascar.

Prior to the end of 2017 China imported less than 1000 tonnes a year. In May 2019 imports exceeded  22,000t.

China has significant resources of battery-grade graphite, Roskill says, but many of the deposits being exploited are getting deeper and more expensive to mine.

“Coupled with rising environmental costs and other costs of production, China is looking increasingly to foreign sources of supply, ....,” Roskill says.
