The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic conditions have severely affected every sector around the world. Whereas, the chemicals and materials sectors were moderately affected during the pandemic. This is primarily due to the uncut demand for chemicals for healthcare, life science, and cleaning agents. However, other elements of chemical and material sectors such as paints, industrial oil, and construction materials are facing a diminution in demand. Strict lockdown resulted in a nearly 50-60% reduction in the supply of raw materials, which directly affected the manufacturing process. Further, a halt in many end-use industries directly affected the chemical demand all around the world.
Carbon Black Market Overview
The global carbon black market was valued at USD 21.40 billion in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.11% projected from 2023 to 2030.
Global Carbon Black Market is expected to witness significant growth due to the larger application of black carbon in several industries over the forecast period. Carbon black is mostly used in the manufacturing of tires, plastics, mechanical rubber goods, printing inks, and toners.
Increasing demand for carbon black from tire and construction & manufacturing industries, where it is used to provide strength to industrial rubber compounds and other equipment. This notable fact is expected to improve the growth of the market over the next few years. Furthermore, carbon black has some super physical properties such as color stability, solvent resistance, and thermal stability, owing to this it is broadly used in paint and coating industries. This fact further supports the expansion of the carbon black market.
On the other side, factors such as fluctuations in raw material prices, a rise in the use of silica as a substitute, and environmental concerns related to the manufacturing of carbon black are projected to hamper the growth of the market in forthcoming years.
Carbon Black Market Segment Overview
Based on application, the Plastics segment is expected to grow at the highest rate in the coming years. The most extensive use of carbon dark is as a pigment and reinforcing phase in vehicle tires. Carbon black allows to conduct heat away from the tread and belt area of the tire and helps in reducing thermal damage and increasing the service life of tires. Owing to the higher demand for vehicles, it is expected that the automotive market will rise remarkably. This key fact is projected to enlarge the demand for carbon black mainly in tires and seat belts.
According to grade, the Specialty Grade segment has remarkable growth in the market. Specialty carbon black is high-end refined carbon black. For manufacturing of specialty carbon black, hydrocarbon is burned in a limited air supply. Moreover, the increasing use of specialty carbon blacks in pigmenting, UV stabilizing, and conductive agents is projected to fuel the growth of the market in the coming years.
Carbon Black Regional Overview
Region-wise, North America commanded a major share of the Carbon Black market. This is due to the high demand for tire manufacturing in this region. However, strict environmental regulations may restrain the North American and European markets. Similarly, Asia Pacific is expected to show rapid growth in the market. Factors such as high economic growth along with rapid industrialization and urbanization in the developing regions of Asia Pacific have increased the regional demand for carbon black. Additionally, growing foreign investments and favorable regulatory strategies are also propelling the market’s growth in this region.
Carbon Black Market Competitor overview
· In June 2021, Orion Engineered Carbons S.A., a leading global supplier of specialty and high-performance carbon black, announced the commercial launch of ECORAX® Nature, a new family of products developed for rubber applications utilizing industrial grade, plant-based oils; a renewable, non-fossil derived feedstock. ECORAX® Nature 100 is the first highly reinforcing carbon black grade made from renewable feedstocks which can be used in critical tire tread construction. The product is currently being tested by customers and will go into high-volume manufacturing in the second half of 2022.
