Published May 2023 | 160 pages, 34 tables, 43 figures | Download table of contents

Carbon black is a reinforcement and performance additive for plastic and rubber compounds to improve resilience, strength, and conductivity of end products. Main markets for carbon black are rubber (tyre and other rubber goods) and non-rubber (plastics, cables, conductive additives, inks & paints etc.). Specialty carbon black and recovered carbon black (rCB) are also increasingly important elements of the overall market. 

Escalating prices for carbon black oil, a primary element of carbon black, has made the filler more expensive in recent years. Supply chain issues have also affected the market. Addressing these issue is challenging but carbon black demand is forecast to increase in the coming years.
