Graphene Nano Platelets is estimated to witness the highest growth of CAGR 31.6% during the forecast period 2021-2026 owing to the growing demand for low-cost composites as an alternative to carbon fibre for various applications is set to support market growth during 2021-2026. Apart from this, the significant adoption of graphene nano platelets in battery electrodes, conductive inks, thermal management systems and others has also been analysed to assist the market growth from 2021 to 2026. Extensive research for using graphene nano-platelets in electronic composites to replace carbon fibre, carbon nanotubes, nano-clays, and other materials is underway which is set to open up new open-up new market opportunities in the future. In 2020 LIGC Application LTD, an Israeli maker of Laser-Induced Graphene filters, announced $3 Million to manufacture graphene-based air filters. 

Graphene battery market is estimated to witness the highest growth of CAGR 32.6% during 2021-2026 followed by capacitors market which is set to grow by CAGR 30.8% during the same period. The growth in the battery market is majorly attributed to the significant improvement achieved energy density, weight, charging time, form, and recyclability of batteries due impregnation of graphene in the electrodes. The increase in demand for high-capacity and lighter batteries in automotive and consumer electronic industry is estimated to propel the graphene battery market in the future. In March 2020 researchers from Trinity College Dublin, CIC EnergiGUNE, and INCAR-CSIC in Spain have announced the development of rechargeable batteries and energy storage devices made of a non-toxic and environmentally friendly graphene-based material. Moreover, increasing demand for super capacitors and ultra-capacitors for burst-mode power delivery applications such as electric vehicles, trains, cranes and others is analysed to drive the graphene-based capacitor market during 2021-2026. In 2020 Researchers from the University College London and the Chinese Academy of Sciences created a new bendable graphene supercapacitor that charges quickly and safely stores a record-high level of energy for long-term use. 

APAC region is estimated to account for the largest share of 42.8% of the Graphene Electronics Market in 2020 followed by North America attributing a share of 26.8% in the same year. Owing to the presence for large manufacturers of electronic vehicles and consumer electronic such as mobile devices, smart TV in the region incorporating graphene-based components in the same. In addition to this, potential use of graphene films as an alternative to indium tin oxide as a transparent conductor in smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, solar cells and wearable devices is also set to drive the APAC Graphene Electronics Market during 2021-2026. Taiwan, as a pioneer in semiconductor and display manufacturing, is set to retain a strong position to drive innovation in the Graphene Electronics Market. In December 2019, the Government of the Guangzhou province in China announced that it aimed to help its local display industry and allocated USD 285 million in subsidies per company. The objective was to help companies invest in the production of emerging display technologies, including, Micro-LEDs, e-paper displays, QD-LEDs, OLEDs, 3D displays, graphene-enhanced display technologies and more. These factors are set to positively influence the APAC graphene market growth during 2021-2026

The use of graphene for the development of faster and lower-power-consuming devices owing to its high mechanical strength, superior thermal conductivity, high electron mobility and other properties has accelerated significantly in the last five years. In 2019, a UK based start-up, Paragraf raised $16 million to develop graphene-based sensors and replace the rare metal indium with graphene in electronics devices. In March 2021, the company launched a graphene-based Hall effect sensor which provides a faster, more direct measurement of the magnetic field, with the resolution and range required for accurate battery cell mapping. The growing emphasis of the OEMs to develop graphene based electronic products is analysed to significantly assist the market growth during the forecast period 2021-2026. 

The demand for memory devices has witnessed significant surge in the demand owing to the increasing adoption of mid and high-end smartphones, laptops, wearables, gaming consoles and other devices which uses these chips for volatile and non-volatile memory. Factors such as low power consumption, higher density, transparency, SET voltage modulation, high uniformity, and others are set to result in the shift in focus of the memory device manufacturers towards the development and use of graphene in their products. This is set to assist further penetration of graphene based memory devices in the consumer electronics devices sector in the future. Scientists from Russia and Japan recently discovered a graphene-based substance that has the potential to dramatically enhance the recording density in data storage devices such as SSDs and flash drives. In January 2021, Researchers at the Cambridge Graphene Center, University of Cambridge, developed a new type of resistive memory using graphene that can be scaled down beyond current limitations.

Graphene is a good conductor of electricity, but it lacks a band gap and, and like graphite cannot be turned off. Recently, researchers made the band gap structure permanent in graphene through laser shock imprinting which used laser to create shockwave impulses that penetrated an underlying sheet of graphene. These laser shock strained the graphene film onto a trench-like mold thereby permanently shaping it. However, there is a significant time to market for commercializing graphene into semiconducting devices, despite the technique granting more flexibility in taking advantage of the Graphene's optical, magnetic and thermal properties. This is set to impede the Graphene Electronics Market growth during the forecast period 2021-2026
