Africa’s growing role in Graphite production

Of the critical battery minerals, cobalt is the one which Africa captures the largest share of the upstream mining. Benchmark’s Cobalt Forecast shows that 75% of mined cobalt comes from the continent, with the vast majority of this coming from the DRC. Although Indonesian cobalt will eat into this market share, the region will maintain a strong 69% of the market in 2030.

Africa has rich flake graphite reserves, too, and is expected to grow production from 19% of global supply this year to 39% in 2030, according to Benchmark’s Natural Graphite Forecast.

In graphite, unlike cobalt and lithium, non-Chinese companies are the dominant investors on the continent. 

Tirupati Graphite PLC (LON:TGR) is a fully integrated specialist graphite and graphene producer, with operations in Madagascar and India. The Company is delivering on this strategy by being fully integrated from mine to graphene.
