CONDUCTIVE CARBON BLACK MARKET ANALYSIS

Conductive Carbon Black MarketSize and Trends

Conductive Carbon Black Market 2023-2030

Carbon black is a pure form of carbon and is one of the most versatile chemicals produced around the globe. It is mainly find application in the production of rubber where it is used as a reinforcing agent. Moreover, carbon black is also used across plastics, paints & coatings, pigments, printing inks for electrical conductivity, etc. Carbon black improves the physical properties of polymers such as tensile strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and friction. Carbon black enable conductive network when blend with the polymer matrix. Conductive carbon black also find application in the electronics industry as it enhances electrical conductivity of the appliances.

The global conductive carbon black market is projected to surpass US$ 1,113 million by the end of 2030, in terms of revenue, growing at CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period (2023 to 2030).

Growing demand for conductive carbon black from the automotive industry in the production of the tire and other accessories composed of rubber is anticipated to foster the market growth of conductive carbon black. According to the report published by European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) in June 2019, 98.1 million motor vehicles were produced around the world in 2018 and More than 80 million passenger cars were produced around the world in 2017. Therefore, rising demand from the automotive industry is expected to propel the market growth of Conductive carbon black. 

Market Trends

Shifting focus of carbon black companies to convert their carbon black production lines to specialty carbon blacks is expected to foster market growth. The objective of the step is to increase profit margins and expand the application scope of specialty carbon blacks. For instance, in February 2017, Orion Engineered Carbons launched new specialty carbon black production line in Korea. This new line in Yeosu will produce premium grades of Specialty Carbon Black for demanding customer applications such as automotive coatings, engineered plastics, printing inks, and adhesives & sealants.

The increasing focus of key industry players in emerging countries such as Brazil, China, India, and Korea to set up production facilities is projected to foster market growth. The goal of this step is to take advantage through alliances with key players in the domestic market and expand their regional presence and also reduces transportation costs of carbon black. This factor is estimated to propel the market growth.
