In 2015, China led the world of mass production of annual capacity exceeds hundred to thousand tons of pristine graphene or graphene oxides powders or pre-dispersed pastes, and million square meters of CVD graphene films. Mass production of few layer (< 10 layers) and even single layer products are in large volume shipping. If the demand increases, it is possible to scale up to > 10,000 tons annual production capacity by using single production line. This indicates that the large scale industrial productions of any polycrystalline graphenes are completed in China. 

Also in 2015, China again leading the world developed graphene products into few real world applications, initiating volume shipping or prototypes. The most significant and large volume examples are (a) Li-ion battery, EDLC applications, (b) Touch panel applications, (c) Anti-corrosion and functional paint or coating applications. Others in prototypes or marketing stages are (a) Resistive heating in smart clothing, home and office heating, (b) polymer composites, itc. Those applications are earlier than most have expected.
