Carbon Black Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis, by Process (Furnace Black, Channel Black), by Grade Type (Standard Grade, Specialty Grade), by Application (Tires, Non-Tire Rubber), By End Use, and Region Forecast Period-2022 – 2028 (Updated Version Available)

Carbon Black Market Insights

Carbon Black Market is projected to be worth USD 23.19 Billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 4.54% CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028), the market was valued at USD 16.1 Billion in 2021. The furnace black sub-segment held the largest share in the process segment due to its high production capacity. Specialty carbon black held the largest share due to its rising use in the inks & coatings and plastic industries. The Asia Pacific is the global market’s leader, owing to high economic growth, rapid industrialization, and urbanization in the regions.

Carbon black is elemental carbon that is produced by partial combustion or decomposition of hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas under controlled temperature and pressure. It mainly consists of carbon along with small amounts of hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen. Carbon black is commonly produced by the furnace method that provides high yield and substantial control over the particle structure and size, making it ideal for mass production. It finds wide application across various industries such as automotive and paint. It is also used as a filler and a strengthening agent in tires and several rubber products.

Carbon Black Market Dynamics

Driver:

Growth in the global rubber industry and increasing application of carbon black in plastic and coating industries are likely to drive the carbon black Market.

Restraints:

Stringent environmental regulation related to CO2 emission from carbon black production may restrain North American and European Market.

Opportunity:

A thriving automotive industry fuels demand for tires and rubber in Asia Pacific countries such as India and China, creating enormous opportunities in the carbon black market.

COVID-19 Analysis of Carbon Black Market:

The global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 put a significant halt in the growth curve of total global demand for Carbon Black. Numerous restrictions imposed by the governments of various developing nations such as India, China, the United States, and others to contain the severe disease spread. This has resulted in a shortage of raw materials as a result of lockdowns and trade restrictions, resulting in a significant drop in the overall Carbon Black market across nations. Due to COVID-19 crisis, a marginal year-on-year decline in overall Carbon Black demand has been observed in 2020. However, overall global Carbon Black demand is expected to recover in the forecast period. The factors responsible for the growth are the resumption of downstream industry processes following the lifting of restrictions imposed across several nations to prevent disease spread.

Carbon Black Market Segmental Analysis:

By Process

The process segment is divided into furnace black, channel black, thermal black, and others. The furnace black sub-segment held the largest share in the process segment. Due to its high production capacity, furnace black is the most commonly used method. It is produced industrially by combining heavy petroleum products, such as coal tar and fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) tar, with vegetable oil. This method enables the mass production of carbon black in a variety of structures and sizes. This type is also widely used as a strengthening agent in rubber production. Furthermore, the rapid adoption of advanced technologies in tire production is also expected to fuel market growth.

 

Grade Type

The grade type segment is bifurcated into specialty grade and standard grade. Specialty carbon black held the largest share due to its rising use in the inks & coatings and plastic industries. Specialty carbon black is a high-end refined carbon black made from the furnace, channel, acetylene, and lamp black processes. Hydrocarbon is burned in a limited air supply to produce specialty carbon black. The increasing use of specialty carbon blacks in pigmenting, UV stabilizing, and conductive agents are expected to drive market growth.

Application

The application segment is categorized into tires, non-tire rubber, coating, plastics, printing inks, toners, and others. The tires sub-segment contributed the most to the market; however, the plastics segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The most well-known application of carbon dark is as a pigment and reinforcing phase in vehicle tires. Carbon black allows heat to be conducted away from the tread and belt area of the tire, reducing thermal damage and increasing tire service life. The automotive market is expected to grow significantly as vehicle demand rises. This factor is expected to increase demand for carbon black, especially in tires and seat belts.

By Region

The region segment is divided into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, Middle East and Africa, Latin America. The Asia Pacific is the global market’s leader, followed by Europe and North America. High economic growth, rapid industrialization, and urbanization in Asia Pacific’s emerging regions have increased regional demand for carbon black. Rising foreign investment and favorable regulatory policies are also contributing to market expansion. The region is rapidly becoming a manufacturing hub, which has surged the demand for the material in recent years. Major manufacturers are shifting manufacturing facilities to countries such as India, China, and Vietnam, which have lower labor costs and government support. Over the forecast period, the rising automotive production is also expected to drive product demand. Initially, the chemical was exported to developing countries such as China, but as their production capacities increased, exports decreased.
