According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Carbon Black Market is accounted for $20.86 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $28.76 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. Carbon black (Color Index International, PBK-7) is the name of a common black pigment, traditionally produced from charring organic materials such as wood or bone. It appears black because it reflects very little light in the visible part of the spectrum, with an albedo near zero.

According to Kordsa Teknik Tekstil AS, the global tire industry’s volume reached 1.498 billion units in 2020, a dip of 11.5% from 2019. Besides, the total global tire industry volume is projected to reach 1.813 billion units by 2023. According to the Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries, the outlook for world demand on natural rubber (NR) is estimated to grow by 9.3% Y-o-Y to 14.1 million ton in 2021. China contributes nearly 33% of the global carbon black production capacity, with a volume of almost 5.7 million metric ton in 2019.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing acceptance of electric cars

Increasing environmental regulations is driving the trend of electric car manufacturing, which in turn, is increasing demand for high-quality ingredients in batteries to ensure that drivers reach their destinations safely. The lithium-ion battery has become an essential part of modern life, and portable electronic devices, such as cell phones, laptops, and power-tools were the first to use this technology. However, the batteries for electric vehicles must meet rigorous performance and economic metrics. The lithium-ion battery formulation typically consists of three components - active material, conductive additive, and binder. Although conductive additive comprises less than five percent of typical lithium-ion battery formulations by weight, it is crucial for maximizing energy density and rate capability. Carbon black dominates the market of conductive additives, as unlike other additives, it can create robust electrical networks in electrodes.

Restraint:

High cost

Since its price is more or less completely determined by raw materials, variations in the prices of these products can have a major impact on global demand. Instability in the price of crude oil could influence the pricing of the target product in the upcoming years.

Opportunity:

High demand for carbon black in rubber industry

Carbon black is also mainly used in the rubber industry. Carbon black makes rubber stronger and unaffected to wear and tear. It also avoids rubber tires against UV light and oxidation. Nearly all rubber compounds use carbon black as filler. Carbon black filler helps strengthen, increase volume, and improve the physical properties of rubber. It also helps strengthen vulcanization. It is used in mechanical rubber goods including industrial rubber goods, membrane roofing, and automotive rubber parts (such as sealing systems, hoses and anti-vibration parts); and general rubber goods (such as hoses, belts, gaskets, and seals). Almost 90% of carbon black is used in the rubber industry in automotive and non-automotive applications. Around 70% of carbon black is used in tire application, while 30% is employed in non-tire applications.

Threat:

CO2 emissions in the production process

It is formed by the reaction of hydrocarbon fuels. The unburned carbon remains as an extremely tiny fluffy black particle with size ranging from 10 to 500 nanometers (nm). It is mainly used as a reinforcing agent in rubber compounds, especially tires, and as a black pigment in printing inks, surface coatings, paper, and plastic products. Manufacture of carbon black emits particulate matter, carbon monoxide (CO), organics, nitrogen oxides, sulfur compounds, polycyclic organic matter (POM), and trace elements. Governments of many countries have, thus, issued regulations to reduce Sulphur oxides (Sox) and Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions in order to reduce air pollution, as well as to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These can threaten revenue growth of the market to some extent over the forecast period.

Impact of Covid- 19

The market is severely affected by coronavirus pandemic, impacting various businesses and manufacturing activities. Disruption in value chain has led to huge losses for manufacturers operating in the global carbon black market. Even though the COVID-19 pandemic has weakened all business activities in the market, manufacturers are creating potential opportunities, owing to the increasing demand from various end-use industries such as tire, plastic, paint & coatings, etc. Increasing applications of carbon black in coating, printing inks, and plastic processing is creating revenue streams for manufacturers in the carbon black market.

The Furnace Black segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The Furnace Black segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period. This can be accredited to growing use of furnace black in various industries, such as rubber, tire, coating, and cosmetics. It is produced by incomplete combustion of petroleum oil or coal using an oil furnace, and this process allows mass production of this material with different particle shapes, sizes, and chemical compositions. It is widely used as a reinforcing agent in rubber manufacturing processes. Demand for tires in the automobile industry is increasing adoption of furnace black to reinforce rubber in tires and other rubber products, which is driving revenue growth of this segment.

The Tire segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The Tire segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The tire is one of those applications where carbon black is widely used for several purposes. Carbon black is used in different parts of tires such as inner-liners, carcasses, sidewalls, and treads, depending on the specific performance requirements. It improves the lifespan of tires as it conducts heat away from the tread and belt area of tires. In addition, carbon black also imparts color to tires.

Region with highest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the huge number of tires that need to be replaced; MRFR believes that North America, specifically the market in the United States, will perform extremely well. As a result of the automotive and construction industries thriving in the province, there is a huge demand for coatings, paints, and non-tire rubber, which serves the carbon black market well.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period there is a surging demand for carbon black in numerous end-use industries in Asia Pacific. This factor is boosting the production of it in the province. Factors responsible for major market share are raising automotive sector, increasing demand for vehicles, and industrialization in the area. The significant presence of market players in Asia Pacific. Market players operating in China and India are expected to witness potential revenue opportunities due to increasing demand and production of carbon black. Top market contributors are increasing their product portfolio to cater the rising demand from end-use industries.
