China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) has announced further export controls for #graphite, specifically to the US, which could disrupt American #anode manufacturing. The controls come one year after China first introduced restrictions that required exporters to obtain special licences to export graphite products. Benchmark data indicates that the battery market accounts for 57% of flake graphite demand in 2024. While US anode manufacturing is not the target of the restrictions, the more stringent testing that graphite material will have to pass to be exported will impact the supply chain.
