Global Carbon Black Market by Application (Tires, Plastics, High-performance Coatings) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Industry Insights

Global carbon black market was valued at USD 17.22 Billion in 2018. It is expected to grow at 6.0% CAGR between 2019 and 2025. The global plastics market is expected to grow due to rising product usage. The increasing use of these materials in electronic and electrical components will also boost product demand. Carbon black can be produced by either thermal decomposition, or partial combustion. This method includes oil or natural gases as a feedstock. There are four processes that produce carbon black: the channel process, furnace black, acetylene and lampblack.

Due to its highest production capacity, Furnace Black is the most popular method. It is made industrially by the combustion and mixing of heavy petroleum products such as coal tar or Fluid Catalytic Cracking tar (FCC tar) with vegetable oil. Due to the increasing number of automobile sales in America, the U.S. tire market is expected to experience a boom in demand. New units are being established by tire manufacturers in the area near automobile production centers. Market growth is also expected to be fueled by the rapid adoption of advanced technologies for tire production.

There has been an increase in the number of cars being refurbished in the country, which will continue to drive the demand. High-performance coatings are in high demand in the automotive and other industries. Market dynamics are heavily dependent on the use of rubber, electronic discharge chemicals, inks, and various regulations that were formulated for different manufacturing technologies and raw material. Market dynamics are also affected by regulatory laws enacted by key European and North American government agencies. Transportation is expected to become the largest segment in the industry over the next seven year due to an increasing demand for rubber and tires.

This product improves the durability and life expectancy of tires by providing a better abrasion resistance as well as tensile strength. The product demand is expected to rise due to the growing construction and manufacturing industries that use industrial rubber and other equipment. Prices of products are largely determined by raw materials, auxiliary material, and utilities. Carbon black prices are affected by fluctuations in crude oil prices. Other macro-level factors that influence the price are working capital and preoperational costs. Pre-occupational expenses include installation and setup, capitalised interests, project engineering, management and commissioning.

Application Insights

In 2018, tires ranked as the most popular application segment. It is used extensively in tire manufacturing, where it is added to rubber as a strength agent and a filler. It's used in sidewalls, carcasses, innerliners, treads and treads. In 2018, plastics accounted for 7.0%. The most common uses of carbon blacks include films, conductive packaging and moldings, fibers and semi-conductive cable compound, and pipes in products such as industrial bags and refuse sacks. Because of its antistatic and electrical conductivity, it is often used in the manufacture of conductive plastics.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific was the largest global market, followed by Europe and North America. The European and North American markets may be affected by strict environmental regulations. The high demand for tires manufacturing will support the market. The region's demand for carbon black has been boosted by high economic growth and rapid industrialization. The market is also growing due to favorable regulatory policies and rising foreign investment.

This region is quickly becoming a manufacturing center, which has increased the demand over the last few years. As they offer lower labor costs and support from their governments, major manufacturers are moving their manufacturing plants to India, China, Vietnam and Vietnam. Product demand is expected to rise due to increased automotive production. The chemical was initially exported to China and other developing countries, but the number of exports has decreased with the increase in their production capacity.

The U.S. dominates the North American market in both product consumption and production. With an increase in the number of tires that are being replaced each year, North America's tire demand has grown. The market will continue to grow due to ongoing recovery in the construction and automotive industries. Carbon black plastics are light and help to reduce carbon emissions and fuel consumption.
