Graphene promises to offer the best possible material properties in almost all applications. Its extraordinary performance has led many to call it the 'superlative' or 'wonder' material. The reality however is different.

It is forecast however that 100 million dollars of graphene will be sold in 2018 into a range of applications, including RFID, smart packaging, super capacitors, composites, ITO replacement, sensors, logic and memory, etc.

New market study "Graphene: Analysis of Technology, Markets and Players 2013-2018" elaborated by IDTechEx looks deep into the product itself and the respective industry developments and market dynamics. Each graphene type is analysed and forecasts are provided for the various respective market segments.

The study assesses the potential volume production capability, cost structure, and graphene quality for each technique. Moreover, the mechanical micro-cleavage is estimated along with chemical vapour deposition, liquid-phase exfoliation, oxidisation-reduction and various plasma approaches.

For each market segment, the main go-to-market strategies are presented and analysed. Where appropriate, the incumbent and emerging rival materials are identified and examined. These materials include carbon black, carbon fibre, graphite, carbon nanotubes, silver nanowires, ITO, silver flakes, copper nanoparticles, aluminium, silicon, GaAs, ZnO.

Detailed company profiles are provided. In many cases, the profiles are compiled using direct interviews with decision-makers within the companies.
