Posted on behalf of Black Swan Graphene - A new MarketsandMarkets forecast sees the graphene market reaching USD 3.58 billion by 2030 from USD 1.22 billion in 2025, a 24.0% CAGR, with demand landing in exactly the end-markets SWAN.v, BSWGF has spent the past year preparing to supply.
Growth is fueled by automotive, aerospace and defense, electronics, and construction. Automotive and transportation is expected to grow at the highest CAGR on vehicle digitization and electrification, and composites is expected to dominate by application through 2030.
Those drivers map directly onto Black Swan's three named target end-markets: concrete, polymers, and lithium-ion batteries.
On the supply side, the March 18, 2026 expansion at the Consett, UK facility lifted annual graphene nanoplatelet capacity to more than 140 tonnes from 40 tonnes, enabling industrial flow rates up to 22,000 L/hr, on ISO 9001 and 14001-certified continuous three-shift manufacturing. The April 17, 2026 acquisition of Québec injection-molder Falpaco (C$12.7M) adds downstream molding and existing customer relationships.

Graphene's problem was never the material, it was making enough of it at consistent quality. The demand side is now moving fast, and SWAN.v, BSWGF has spent the last stretch getting its manufacturing base ready.
On the demand setup: the global graphene market was estimated at USD 341.4 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 4.56 billion by 2033, a 39.0% CAGR from 2026 to 2033. Energy storage and harvesting, propelled by battery retrofits and fast-charge EV cells, is forecast to grow at a 46.20% CAGR.
Per the March 18, 2026 release, Black Swan lifted annual capacity to more than 140 tonnes of GNP, up from 40 tonnes prior to the expansion, on a continuous three-shift operation with industrial flow rates up to 22,000 litres per hour. This was its fourth and largest scale-up, built around a GEA 3160 Ariete System customized for its proprietary High-Shear Liquid-Phase Exfoliation Process at an ISO 9001/14001-certified facility.
On April 17, 2026, the company closed the acquisition of Québec-based Falpaco Rubber and Plastic Inc. for total consideration of CA$12.7 million, a step toward vertically integrating downstream manufacturing and moving closer to end customers.
The supply side is built before the volumes arrive. The harder test is converting capacity into recurring industrial orders.

Posted on behalf of Black Swan Graphene Inc. -
Earlier this week SWAN (TSXV: SWAN, OTCQX: BSWGF, FSE: R960) wrapped its annual and special meeting of shareholders. On the surface this is routine governance, but it is the first AGM since the graphene maker closed its Falpaco acquisition and reframed itself as a vertically integrated advanced-materials business, so it is a clean checkpoint on a company that looks very different than it did a year ago.
AGM Results
- Seven directors elected to the board: Harry Swan, Simon Marcotte, Peter Damouni, Michael Edwards, Roy McDowall, Dr. David Deak and Rory Godinho.
- Shareholders also approved the appointment of the company's auditors and the company's Omnibus Plan.
The board carried straight through the year that reshaped the business, with no turnover going into the integration phase. For a company moving from making graphene to selling finished, graphene-enhanced parts, that kind of stability at the top is the unglamorous part of execution.
Where the company stands now:
- Roughly 40 tpa of high-quality graphene nanoplatelet capacity, ISO 9001/14001-certified.
- Falpaco, the Québec injection-molding specialist, acquired for C$12.7M in a deal that closed April 17, 2026, adding custom molding, an established customer base, and downstream scale.
- The company now describes itself as integrated, combining its advanced-materials technology and application know-how with downstream custom molding of plastic and rubber components, including bi-injection and overmolding.
- Target end-markets: concrete, polymers, and lithium-ion batteries.
With the board reaffirmed and Falpaco now folded in, the pieces are in place for the harder work ahead: turning that integrated platform into commercial product cycles. It sets up the back half of 2026 as the period where execution does the talking.
For the full details, see the company's June 16 news release.

Black Swan Graphene to complete the acquisition of injection molding specialist Falpaco
Share on LinkedIn Share Story to LinkedIn
Black Swan Graphene has announced that it has completed the acquisition of Falpaco Rubber and Plastic Inc. ("Falpaco"), a Québec-based manufacturer specializing in the custom molding of plastic and rubber components, for total consideration of CA$12.7 million (around US$9.2 million).
The Acquisition represents a key step in Black Swan's strategy to accelerate the commercialization of graphene products by vertically integrating downstream manufacturing capabilities and moving closer to end customers. By combining Black Swan's proprietary graphene materials and formulation expertise with Falpaco's injection molding know-how, customer relationships, and industrial scale, the Company believes it is uniquely positioned to shorten development cycles and transition more rapidly from product validation to commercial adoption.
Falpaco currently generates approximately C$7.4 million (US$5.4 million) in annual sales, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 7% over the past five years, with a demonstrated track record of growth across multiple industrial end markets. The integration of graphene solutions is expected to provide Falpaco with a meaningful competitive advantage, supporting accelerated growth and further increasing its overall value.
Falpaco's manufacturing profile is particularly well aligned with Black Swan's product offering, as it predominantly works with polymers in which Black Swan's graphene solutions have demonstrated particularly strong performance benefits. Moreover, Falpaco operates as a value-added partner to its customers, frequently contributing to product design, development, material selection, and performance enhancement, rather than acting solely as a standardized contract manufacturer. This positioning provides a natural pathway for integrating graphene-based enhancements into both existing and future customer products.
"This expansion into downstream manufacturing represents a natural extension of our commercialization strategy. Falpaco brings industrial credibility, close customer relationships, and manufacturing expertise that materially enhance our ability to deploy graphene at scale. We view this as a compelling operational and financial fit, with graphene acting as a catalyst for growth and value creation within an already well-established business. This integrated platform also enables faster iteration and deployment of graphene-enhanced solutions to market by reducing the need for prolonged joint R&D cycles and enhances the Company's ability to engage with larger customers," commented Simon Marcotte, President and Chief Executive Officer of Black Swan.
"We couldn't be more excited to join Black Swan Graphene. This transaction opens the door for Falpaco and its customers to benefit from advanced graphene-based solutions, while preserving the entrepreneurial and technical culture that has driven our success. We all look forward to working closely with the Black Swan team to bring innovative, high-performance products to market," added Claude Robichaud, President and shareholder of Falpaco.
