The industrial world has finally acknowledged the benefits of graphene and has taken up its production quite seriously. A few sections of the industry are also going a step further to call graphene the wonder material of the new millennium. Indeed, graphene manifests quite a few unique characteristics. The material is flexible and lightweight, yet extremely hard and strong. At the same time, it is one of the superconductors of electricity.

Since the inception of its commercial production, graphene has found its use in a large number of consumer industries. Today, you will find graphene in all the computers and electronic devices you use. It is also being used in water filtration and desalination plants as it can filter water effectively. Research is also going on to apply the utility of graphene in the defence sector. Nonetheless, graphene production has increased significantly in India in the last few years, thanks to the foresightedness of steel and other heavy metal manufacturers.

The steel and heavy metal manufacturers of India have started producing graphene in large quantities. All the produce would get marketed as the demand for graphene from consumer ended industries is high. However, a few dedicated graphene manufacturers in India are expected to emerge in the market. It will develop competition in the market and force manufacturers to work on the quality and cost-effectiveness of their product. Once competition gets noticeable in the graphene manufacturing industry, regulatory authorities should prioritize grading the manufactured graphene for end consumer-oriented industries.

Anyway, a few graphene manufacturers in India have already started the production of graphene for specialized use. These manufacturers are targeting the use of graphene in the paint industry as the wonder material can be used for nano-coating and insulation. The paint industry of India is undergoing a remarkable technological overhaul. So, they are exploring different ways to exploit the properties of graphene as a coating material. As a result, the demand for graphene is high in this industry. It is a good thing that the graphene manufacturers have rightly identified this opportune area.

Last but not the least, the government is also expected to come forward to boost the motivation of the new graphene manufacturers in India. If not through direct funding, through helping vocational trainees develop skills in graphene manufacturing so that efficient manpower can come forward to assist the industry.
