Is Graphene Over- or Under-Hyped? Tim Harper Analyzes Graphene Market Forecasts

Recent market estimates towards the end of last year put the international market for graphene in the same range as the total invested in graphene producers. This doesn't make much sense - so are graphene producers completely wrong, or are the market estimates wildly inaccurate?
