The Asia Pacific carbon black market size is anticipated to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing market penetration of specialty black and growing application in fiber & textile industries.
Carbon black is a type of para crystalline carbon, which has 95% of pure carbon and improves the physical and mechanical properties of the material. Carbon black is basically utilized in production of plastics, printing inks, tires, toner, and mechanical rubber merchandise. It can absorb UV light and converts it into heat, subsequently, observes its significant application in protecting wires and cables. Besides, it is utilized in the development of a wide scope of elastic products and pigments.
Carbon black Is an element produced by the imperfect combustion of heavy petroleum products such as coal tar, vegetable matter, fluid catalytic cracking tar, or ethylene cracking tar. It has a high surface-area-to-volume ratio, which is lower than activated carbon. The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic impacted the global carbon black market in terms of revenue loss and demand. In FY2020, the restrictions and lockdown negatively impacted the carbon black industry.

In terms of process types, the market is categorized as gas black, furnace black, thermal black, and lamp black. The furnace black segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period. Furnace black method is used for mass manufacturing and has much improved yield as compared to other process types. Furnace black is manufactured by unfinished combustion of coal oil or petroleum oil using an oil furnace. It also permits the mass production of carbon black alongside various particle sizes and structures. Furnace black process has major application as reinforcing agent in rubber manufacturing.
Based on applications, the market is segregated into plastics, coatings, tires & industrial rubber products, textile fibers, toners & printing inks, and others. The tires & industrial rubber products segment is estimated to grow at a rapid pace in the projected timeline. Carbon dark is utilized in tires basically as a filler to improve its different attributes, for example, longevity, fuel economy, and tread wear. Carbon dark is primarily required in the internal liners, sidewalls, and bodies. It has heat-dissemination abilities when added to rubber mixtures.
On the basis of geography, the Asia Pacific carbon black market is categorized as India, Japan, China, South Korea, ASEAN countries, and Rest of Asia Pacific. China is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the projected period due to the growing demand for carbon black from the automotive sector. Several factors such as volatile feedstock prices, rising labor costs, supply surpluses, tightening environmental regulations, and low capacity utilization rates along with increasing cost of tire manufacturing are driving the country’s market growth.
