In 2023, Brazil imported natural graphite in powder or flakes valued at approximately 2.32 million USD. Forecasted figures indicate a stable upward trend with a consistent increase each year: 2024 is projected at 2.39 million USD, reaching 2.69 million USD by 2028. Year-on-year percentage variations suggest a steady growth rate of around 3%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is projected to be roughly 3.2%.

Future trends to watch for:

Rising demand in electric vehicle production, which heavily utilizes graphite in lithium-ion batteries, could further boost imports.
Global geopolitical changes affecting graphite supply chains might impact import volumes and values.
Innovations in alternative battery technologies could shift demand in the coming years.
