H1 2023: The prominent producers of Carbon Black in H1 2023 were Birla Carbon, Cabot Corporation, and Orion Engineered Carbons S.A. In April 2023, Phillips Carbon Black Ltd. (PCBL) commissioned its new facility commercial production in Tamil Nadu, India. This project is worth USD 96 million (INR 800 crores). After completion of its first phase, this plant will add 63 thousand tonnes of Carbon Black production capacity along with 24-Megawatt green energy. The company stated that hopefully it will be able to start the second stage of the 147 thousand tonnes per annum project this fiscal year at the Carbon Black plant. Throughout the first half of 2023, Carbon Black prices fell in the Asia Pacific region due to a decline in downstream demand. The demand for Carbon Black by the downstream tyre and automobile industries was sluggish. Additionally, there was ample of Carbon Black inventories, which led to a decrease in price as a result of a mismatch between supply and demand. The lack of functionality in the supply chain and busy ports further enhanced the supply rate, which led to a decrease in the price of carbon black in the Asian market. However, the US market experienced bumpy carbon black market in H1 2023. After bearish market in January, the price of Carbon Black stabilized in February 2023 and then dropped in March 2023. The automobile industry started to rebound in February, but it was soon adversely affected by the financial instability brought on by the fall of two significant US banks in the month of March. Carbon Black consumption was declined in the US as a result of the economy's decline having a particularly negative effect on the vehicle industry, which ultimately led to a decrease in price. As a ripple effect, carbon black prices remained low from April -June 2023 in America.

The global Carbon Black market stood at approximately 14.5 million tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.01% during the forecast period until 2035. Growth in the overall packaging industry globally has increased the demand for Carbon Black for End Uses including Tyres, Mechanical Rubber Goods, Plastics & Polymers, Printing Inks, and Others.

Carbon black is a type of paracrystalline carbon which appears as a fine black powder. It can be synthesized by partial combustion of hydrocarbons, coal, petroleum products, and ethylene cracking. However, the Furnace Black Process is the most common process for synthesizing carbon black. This process creates carbon black by partially combusting high-temperature gases with feedstock oil, which can be coal or petroleum oil. Due of its high yield and extensive control over parameters like particle size or structure, this approach is appropriate for mass production. Currently, this is the process that produces carbon black most frequently for usage in coloring and rubber reinforcing. This chemical is mostly used in tyres sector. Additionally, Carbon black also has other uses such as conveyor belts, hoses, plastics, dyes and pigments, and vehicle coatings in addition to tyres.

The primary market driver of the global Carbon Black market is the rubber industry. This chemical works as a filler in tyres and improves its physical characteristics and provides it greater strength. The addition of carbon black prevents electrostatic charging and aids in transferring heat away from some hotspots on the tyre, particularly around the groove and belt. This increases the tire's longevity and reduces thermal stress to it. The expanding rubber sector with applications in a wide array of industries like automotive and construction sectors will most likely hike up the demand of Carbon Black on a global level. Carbon Black serves as a pigment in paints and coatings as well. Additional growth prospects are possible to carbon black manufacturers thanks to the growing paints and coatings industry owing to industrialization. By considering these reasons, the global Carbon Black market is anticipated to reach approximately 24 million tonnes by 2035.

Based on type, the global Carbon Black market is divided into Rubber segment and Speciality segment. In 2022, Rubber segment of Carbon Black held 88% share in global demand of carbon black. With the help of carbon black filler, rubber is strengthened, given more volume, its physical characteristics are improved, and the vulcanization process is reinforced. The rubber products are used to produce surgical gloves, motor - vehicle tyres, and shoe soles.

Based on grade, the Carbon Black market is segregated into Carcass Line (N539-787), Tread Line (N110-N375), Speciality Tire Line, High Purity Line for MRG, and Others. The Carcass Line (N539-787) is dominating the Carbon Black market and utilized mainly by the tyre and rubber sector.

Based on region, Asia Pacific is dominating the Carbon Black market, followed by Europe. Asia Pacific accounted for a market share of more than 50% of the global Carbon Black market in 2022. The tyre and rubber industry are lubricating the Carbon Black market across the Asia Pacific region. Across various developing nations like China, India and others, government is focusing towards making countries 100% electric vehicle nation by 2030 such as in India under the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan is expected to push demand for automobiles in the coming years. This demand in turn would aid growth in ancillary industries such as tire industry, which use Carbon Black as their primary raw material. Moreover, demand for industrial rubber such as in conveyor belts and hoses is anticipated to positively influence Carbon Black demand in India as well.

Based on the end-user industry, the Carbon Black market is segmented into Tyres, Mechanical Rubber Goods, Plastics & Polymers, Printing Inks, and Others. Among these, the Tyres industry is the leading segment and accounted for around 65% of the share of total Carbon Black demand in 2022. This industry is anticipated to dominate the global Carbon Black market owing to growing demand of vehicles for transportation of good and people with the growing economies across the globe.

Significant players in the Global Carbon Black market are Birla Carbon, Cabot Corporation, Orion Engineered Carbons S.A., Philips Carbon Black Ltd. (RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group), Jiangxi black cat carbon black Co., Ltd, Omsk Carbon Group, Tokai Carbon Group, Longxing Chemical Stock Co., Ltd., Continental Carbon Ltd., Suzhou Baohua Carbon Black, OCI Company Ltd., Nippon Steel Chemical & Material Co., Ltd, and Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd.
