Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year and the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Increasing use of carbon black in end-user industries is the key factor driving the growth of the global carbon black market. Rubber is used in many end-use industries such as automotive, medical, and pharmaceutical. In the medical and pharmaceutical industry, it is used for injection vials, infusion container closures, lyophilization, and blood collection tubes. In automotive air conditioning systems, carbon black reinforced rubber seals are used on fittings, shafts, and hoses to prevent leaks. Carbon black is used as a reinforcement and pigment agent in automobile tires. It helps in keeping away heat from the tread and belt area, thereby reducing thermal damage and increasing the life of tires.
The global automotive industry will register a moderate growth rate during the forecast period. The increasing production of tires in the automotive industry accelerates the demand for carbon black. The rising demand for rubber tires in the automotive industry will drive the global carbon black market during the forecast period. The increasing use of rubber in end-user industries will positively impact the global specialty carbon market during the forecast period.
Increasing demand for sustainable carbon black is the primary trend shaping the global carbon black market growth. Global demand for sustainable carbon black is rising as a result of the movement toward sustainability in the chemical sector. As a more environmentally friendly substitute for conventional carbon black, which is made from fossil fuels, bio-based carbon black, which is manufactured using renewable feedstocks such as vegetable oil, is gaining popularity.
Recycled carbon black is also becoming more popular because it is made by recycling old tires or other debris, which cuts down on the quantity of rubbish that is dumped in landfills. Bolder Industries and Black Bear Carbon are two examples of businesses that produce sustainable carbon black. The need for sustainable carbon black is anticipated to increase between 2023-27 as consumers and regulators place more importance on sustainability, which, in turn, is expected to drive the growth of the specialty carbon market during the forecast period.
Increasing usage of silica as reinforcing fillers is a major challenge impeding the growth of the global carbon black market. Amorphous silica and carbon black are used as reinforcing fillers in the rubber industry. These fillers improve tire strength, durability, and longevity. Silica is commonly used in tires to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. The use of silica in tire manufacturing poses a serious challenge to the global carbon black market.
Amorphous precipitated silica is used in the rubber industry and is commonly made from glassy silicates. The vitreous silicate is dissolved in water and transferred to a reactor where amorphous silica is precipitated by acidification and stirring. Amorphous precipitated silica is used as a substitute for carbon black as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. The use of amorphous precipitated silica will adversely affect the global specialty carbon market during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 49% to the growth of the global specialty carbon market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The increasing rubber production in China, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia will drive the growth of the carbon black market in the region during the forecast period. Rubber is extensively used in end-user industries such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, packaging, electronics, and electrical, which will significantly increase the demand for carbon black. Rubber is used in tires, rubber hoses, and insulating materials.
APAC will be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. Several countries in the region, including China, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia, are the major producers and consumers of carbon black. The increasing use of rubber and non-rubber products will drive the consumption of carbon black in the region during the forecast period.
In 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 led to a decline in the growth of the regional carbon black market. However, with the initiation of vaccination drives, the number of COVID-19 cases declined in the first half of 2021, which led to the lifting of lockdown restrictions in the region. Eventually, factories and manufacturing units reopened, and construction activities also gained pace. Additionally, companies are gaining a competitive advantage by manufacturing products in the market. For instance, in May 2020, the company received the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) certification. This makes the company the first and only global carbon black manufacturer to achieve this certification. The presence of such major vendors in the region and the launch of carbon black products will supplement the growth of the specialty carbon market in the region during the forecast period.
