Glassy carbon, also called vitreous carbon, is a non-graphitized carbon which combines glassy and ceramic properties with those of graphite. It takes its name from its shiny, concoidal fracture surface, i.e. it looks like glass. The most important properties are high temperature resistance, extreme resistance to chemical attack, and impermeability to gases and liquids. Glassy carbon is widely used as an electrode material in electrochemistry, as well as for high temperature crucibles.
Limited by high technical barriers, there are only six major suppliers all over the world, such as HTW Hochtemperatur-Werkstoffe, Tokai Carbon, Mersen, NEYCO, SPI Supplies and Alfa etc. HTW Hochtemperatur-Werkstoffe, a company based in Germany, is the market leader in this industry with sales share of 61.19% in 2017. Tokai Carbon, which sold 268.4 Kg glassy carbon in 2017, is the second largest supplier in the world.
Glassy carbon had many shapes according to different application. During all shapes, glassy carbon crucible is the largest type, which took a share of 68.48% in 2017. Glassy carbon rod is another important shape which mainly used to make glassy carbon electrode.
Global Glassy Carbon market size will increase to 95 Million US$ by 2025, from 80 Million US$ in 2018, at a CAGR of 2.2% during the forecast period. In this study, 2018 has been considered as the base year and 2019 to 2025 as the forecast period to estimate the market size for Glassy Carbon.
