Global Carbon Black Market Size, Share, Growth, Analysis Forecast to 2027

Posted by monica on November 11th, 2020

The global Carbon Black market is forecast to reach USD 28.91 Billion by 2027, according to a new report by Reports and Data. Carbon black is increasingly being used in tires, rubber and plastic products, printing inks, and coatings, owing to these properties. It is used in tires as it provides excellent rubber reinforcement. Though primarily used for strengthening rubber in tires, the product can also act as a pigment, UV stabilizer, and conductive or insulating agent in a variety of rubber, plastic, ink, and coating applications. Apart from tires, other everyday uses of carbon black are seen in objects like hoses, conveyor belts, plastics, printing inks, and automotive coatings.  

Carbon black is one of the most commonly used conductive additive used for these batteries due to low weight, low cost, and high chemical inertness. Furthermore, it also provides higher battery capacity and rate capability and is non-toxic. Several studies have successfully shown that the adoption of the product improves the battery cycle life. For instance, Berkeley Lab researchers led by Robert Kostecki used carbon black additive for manufacturing composite cathodes for lithium-ion batteries. The resulting lithium-ion cells were found to last one-third longer and deliver more energy, at no significant increase in cost. 

Carbon Black Market: Regional Outlook 

Asia-Pacific is projected to dominate the market in the forecast period. Increasing adoption of the product in end-use industries, including automobiles, paints, and coatings, and rubber is expected to boost the market growth. Moreover, the adoption of expansion strategies by market players operating in the region would also influence growth. North America is projected to witness significant growth in the forecast period. Increasing demand for tires from the automotive industry, coupled with the rising demand for lithium-ion batteries from the automotive and transportation industry, are some of the major driving factors.

The COVID-19 Impact on Carbon Black Market: 

COVID-19 has had a significant effect on the global automobile market, further affecting the carbon black industry. However, the demand for the product from other sectors such as ceramics and refractories were able to offset this decline. Furthermore, the pandemic also has a significant impact on the supply chain as countries, particularly in Asia-Pacific, witnessed a significant slowdown in their economic activities. However, the ease in restrictions and government initiatives to start the consumer goods market's economic activities creates hope for the imminent recovery of the market.
