Market Restraints
Factor such as toxicity associated with conductive carbon blacks as they have potential carcinogens properties is expected to hinder the market growth over the forecast period. The prolonged exposure of conductive black carbon cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Hence, such side-effects associated with the exposure of conductive carbon blacks are projected to restrict the market growth over the forecast period.
Availability of alternatives of carbon black such as silica and silicones as they have high performance and are environment-friendly in nature is projected to curb the market growth of conductive carbon blacks. Moreover, the market for conductive carbon black is also expected to face competition with other alternatives. For instance, bio-based lignin is a potential substitute to fossil-fuel derived conductive carbon black. Ball milled lignin exhibited a surface area 882% larger than conductive carbon black tested, and 36% greater conductivity.
Market Opportunities
Rising focus of manufacturers in carbon black recovery for tire production is expected to augment the market growth of conductive carbon black. The objective of this step is to explore affordable methods to recover and reuse carbon black in order to promote sustainability. According to the Coherent Market Insights, tire recycling company Carbon Green Inc. has been researching tire recycling methods based on pyrolysis
Rising production of carbon nanotubes with conductive carbon black is expected to accelerate the market growth of carbon black recovery. This combination offers higher electrode conductivity as compared to other formulations since it enables the dispersion of carbon nanotubes and generate a synergetic effect with carbon nanotubes. Therefore, the growing usage of conductive carbon black in the production of carbon nanotube is expected to propel the market growth.
