  • Asia-Pacific dominated the market across the globe with the largest consumption from the countries such as China and India.

Market Trends

Increasing Application for Tires and Industrial Rubber Products

  • The tires and industrial rubber products application is the largest application segment of the carbon black market with more than 80% of the market share.
  • Carbon black is used in the tires of automotive vehicles. It is used as a filler as well as a strengthening reinforcing agent.
  • Carbon black is one of the reinforces that frequently used in the tire industry owing to its effect on mechanical and dynamic properties of tires. It is used in various formulations with different rubber types to customize the performance properties of tires.
  • Global tire production in 2019 is estimated to reach 255 million units, which is a 5% increase from 2018 (where it posted growth of 6% from 2017). It is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 2-3% over the forecast period.
  • Other than tires, it is also required for various molded and extruded industrial rubber products, such as conveyor belts, gaskets, air springs, grommets, vibration isolation devices, and hoses. It provides flex strength in such products.

China to Dominate the Market in Asia-Pacific

  • China contributes nearly 43% of the global carbon black production, with a volume of almost 5.7 million tons. China is also the global largest exporter of carbon black. The primary carbon black feedstock is coal tar and other carbon black feedstocks include slurry oil & ethylene tar. The country's total annual capacity reached 7.5 million tons in 2018.
  • Carbon black prices in China have surged in the recent past, due to a supply shortage amid massive plant shutdowns caused by the Chinese government's intensifying environmental protection campaign.
  • The top local manufacturers of carbon black include Jiangxi Black Cat, Longxing Chemicals, Shanxi Yongdong Chemicals, Shanxi Anlun Chemicals, Liaobin Carbon Black, Shanxi Sanqiang New Energy Technology Co. Ltd, Suzhou Baohua Carbon Black, Shandong Jinneng Technology, Shandong NST Carbon Black, Yunan Yunwei Feihu Chemicals, Qujin Zongyi Chemicals, and Shandong Best Chemicals.
  • The tire production in the country has a deep impact on the carbon black market as it is the largest demand puller.
  • China's tire production and sales volume recorded the continuous drops in the past two years, owing to the negative trends in the local automotive industry. Even the first three quarters of 2019, saw a sharper year-on-year decline.
  • Apart from the drop in domestic consumption, the US and EU anti-dumping tariffs also are casting heavy shadows, as more than 40% of China's tires are exported to the two markets.
  • The plastics industry in China is the world's largest, accounting for nearly 30% of global production. Also, the plastics industry in China is the world's largest, accounting for nearly 30% of the global production.
  • Such increasing demand from various end-user in the country is, in turn, boosting the demand for the market studied.
