Automotive Growth and Infrastructure Boom in Asia and South America Driving the Growth of Demand for Carbon Black to Reach 20 million MTs by 2022

Friday 08 Jan 2016

Industry Experts has today released the new market research report on carbon black. The new report ‘Carbon Black – A Global Market Overview’ reveals that Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the largest market with 7.9 million metric tons and US$8.1 billion in 2016 respectively for volume consumption and market value. The region is also expected to be the fastest growing market with CAGRs for volume and value respectively 6.3% and 6.8% during 2016-2022 while South America closely follows with CAGRs of 5.3% and 5.5% for the same period.

Volume demand for carbon black has a direct association with the end use industries, with the automotive industry taking precedence, given that the largest quantity of this material is utilized by tires and other rubber products largely used in automobiles. Any volatility in the production of tires and, to a lower degree, mechanical rubber products has a corresponding effect on demand for carbon black. Tire production, in turn, is heavily reliant on automobile production, which has been posting steady growth over the past few years and is likely to continue doing so. However, the concept of tire retreading has its own pluses and minuses. While increase in retreading is apt to hit new tire production, the market for carbon black stands to gain since the material is used in both instances. Technological developments and innovative applications in these sectors will also be instrumental in fuelling demand for carbon black.

Other industries that make use of carbon black, albeit to a lesser extent, include plastics, printing inks and paints and coatings. Of these, plastics and paints and coatings are widely utilized by the construction sector, which has been posting steady to rapid growth depending upon the region. For instance, the mature markets of the developed world, such as North America and Western Europe are witnessing stagnation in their construction industries, while the emerging economies of Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Eastern Europe are flourishing construction hubs. Therefore, it goes without saying that demand for carbon black in the latter regions is bound to record faster growth than the former due to impetus in construction activity aimed at boosting infrastructure.

Worldwide market for Carbon Black application segments explored in this study includes Industrial Rubber Products, Paints & Coatings, Plastics, Printing Inks & Toners and Tires. The global markets for the above mentioned application segments are analyzed in terms of value in metric tons and value in USD. Global consumption of Carbon Black, estimated at 13.2 million metric tons valued at US$13.7 billion in 2015, is expected to reach 13.9 million metric tons equated to US$14.4 billion in 2016 and further forecast to maintain a CAGR of 5.6% between 2016 and 2022 to reach 19.2 million metric tons equalent of US$20.4 billion by 2022.
