Report Description

REQUEST FREE SAMPLE PDF

The global carbon black market is likely to showcase a growth of around 5% during the forecast period. Carbon black is a form of para crystalline carbon, which contains around 95% of pure carbon and enhances the physical and mechanical properties of the material which makes the end product more effective. Also, it can absorb UV light and converts it into heat, therefore, finds its application in insulating wires and cables. Moreover, it is used in the production of a wide range of rubber products and pigments. It also serves as a cost-effective rubber reinforcing agent used in tires. Further, carbon black has a huge demand from tire and construction & manufacturing industries, where it is used to provide strength to industrial rubber compounds and other equipment. Additionally, it has physical properties such as color stability, solvent resistance, and thermal stability, owing to these properties it is widely used in the paint and coating industries. Moreover, several companies are doing innovations for using carbon black in new tires. For instance, in November 2021, Bridgestone Corp. and Michelin Group established a dedicated website as a communications platform for their joint initiative to increase the use of recovered carbon black (rCB) in new tires. Using rCB in new tires would cut CO2 emissions from carbon black production by 85% compared with virgin materials. Owing to such factors, the demand for carbon black is likely to grow in the near future.

“Amongst applications, rubber reinforcement has a prominent share in the carbon black market”

Based on application, the market is categorized into rubber reinforcement, paints & coatings, plastics battery electrodes, inks & toners, and others. Among these, rubber reinforcement held a prominent share in the global carbon black market. Reinforced rubber products combine a rubber matrix and carbon black as a reinforcing material so that they can achieve high strength to flexibility ratios, higher resistance to mechanical damage, improved traction, and better stability against additional motion-induced loads. Due to this, reinforcement rubber is widely used in the tire industry as it is better suited to meet the increasingly stringent specifications of high-performance tires. Further, in the automotive industry, rubber reinforcement founds application in belts, hoses, and gaskets. Therefore, growth in the tire industry and replacement of automotive components are some of the key factors for its considerable position in the market

“Asia-Pacific accounted for a considerable share in the global carbon black market”

For a better understanding of the market adoption of carbon black, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in the countries such as North America (United States, Canada, Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Australia, Rest of Asia-Pacific), and Rest of the World. Asia-Pacific held a prominent share in the carbon black market. Owing to its large tire manufacturing industry and largest automobile production base across the globe. For instance, tire manufacturers like Bridgestone, Yokohama, Kumho, Hankook, Triangle, Apollo, and MRF are among the largest producer of tires, globally. Further, the region is the largest producer of footwear in the world, with countries like China, Vietnam, Indonesia, and India having a considerable market share. Therefore, the region has a large number of synthetic rubber manufacturing facilities in order to make a strong supply chain and take advantage of lower manufacturing costs. As a result, high consumption of carbon black by these facilities.
