Increasing Application for Tires and Industrial Rubber Products

- The tires and industrial rubber products application is the largest application segment of the carbon black market with around 75% of the market share.
- Carbon black is used in the tires of automotive vehicles. It is used as a filler as well as a strengthening reinforcing agent.

- Carbon black is one of the reinforces that frequently used in the tire industry owing to its effect on the mechanical and dynamic properties of tires. It is used in various formulations with different rubber types to customize the performance properties of tires.

- According to IRSG (International Rubber Study Group), the global tire production volume reached 16.8 million metric ton in 2019. Moreover, the total global tire industry volume is expected to reach 2.75 billion units by 2024 from 2.36 billion units in 2019.

- Considering the impact of COVID-19, the global tires industry is expected to witness little recovery in 2021, with significant recovery starting in 2022.
- Other than tires, it is also required for various molded and extruded industrial rubber products, such as conveyor belts, gaskets, air springs, grommets, vibration isolation devices, and hoses. It provides flex strength in such products.

- Owing to all the above-mentioned factors, the market for carbon black is projected to grow post 2020 during the forecast period.

China to Dominate the Market in Asia-Pacific Region

- China contributes more than 40% of the global carbon black production. China is also the global largest exporter of carbon black. The primary carbon black feedstock is coal tar and other carbon black feedstocks include slurry oil & ethylene tar.

- Carbon black prices in China have surged in the recent past, due to a supply shortage amid massive plant shutdowns caused by the Chinese government’s intensifying environmental protection campaign.
- The top local manufacturers of carbon black include Jiangxi Black Cat, Longxing Chemicals, Shanxi Yongdong Chemicals, Shanxi Anlun Chemicals, Liaobin Carbon Black, Shanxi Sanqiang New Energy Technology Co. Ltd, Suzhou Baohua Carbon Black, Shandong Jinneng Technology, Shandong NST Carbon Black, Yunan Yunwei Feihu Chemicals, Qujin Zongyi Chemicals, and Shandong Best Chemicals.
- Tire production in the country has a deep impact on the carbon black market as it is the largest demand puller.

- The country is projected to produce 704 million tires per year by 2025, including 527 million passenger radial tires, 148 million truck/bus radial tires, 29 million bias truck tires, 20,000 extra-large industrial tires, 12 million agricultural tires, and 54,000 aircraft tires. In addition, China will produce 120.7 million motorcycle tires and 420 million bicycle tires annually by 2025.

- Apart from the drop in domestic consumption, the US and EU anti-dumping tariffs also are casting heavy shadows, as more than 40% of China's tires are exported to the two markets.
- The plastics industry in China is the world’s largest, accounting for nearly 30% of global production.
- The COVID-19 has presented a problematic situation for carbon black in the country. However, the condition is better now, which concreted the probability of market recovery over the forecast period.
