According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the global carbon black market looks promising with opportunities in the transportation, industrial, and building and construction sectors. The global carbon black market is expected to reach an estimated $24.8 billion by 2024 with a CAGR of 6.6% from 2019 to 2024. The major drivers for this market are increasing tire production and growth in plastic and coating market.

In this market, carbon black is used as reinforcement agent in tire and non–tire rubber goods. It is also used as a pigment and performance additive in coatings, polymers, printing, and other applications. Lucintel predicts that carbon black for tire rubber will remain the largest application over the forecast period supported by increasing demand for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Lucintel forecasts that the plastic is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to growth in the plastic pipes, wire & cable, and packaging market.

Within the global carbon black market, transportation will remain the largest end use industry during the forecast period supported by increasing demand for the tire and mechanical rubber goods. Lucintel predicts that the demand for carbon black in the packaging end use is likely to experience the highest growth in the forecast period supported by growth in the food and beverages, household products, personal care, and pharmaceuticals sectors.

Asia Pacific will remain the largest region by value and volume and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period supported by higher vehicle production and shift of tire production in low-cost countries, such as India and China.

Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include growing usage of recycled and bio-based carbon black and a shifting focus from commodities to more specialized grades of carbon black. Birla Carbon, Cabot Corporation, China Synthetic Rubber (CSR), Orion Engineered Carbons Holdings, OMSK Carbon Group, Tokai Carbon, Philips Carbon Black, and Sid Richardson Carbon & Energy are among the major carbon black providers.
