Report Description
Europe Carbon Black Market Outlook 2031
The Europe carbon black market size was valued at USD 4.17 billion in 2022 and is projected to surpass USD 6.30 billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing demand for specialty carbon black, rising use of fibers, and growing interest from industries such as automotive, infrastructure, and construction.
Carbon black is typically obtained as soot from partial combustion of hydrocarbons and used as reinforcing agents in automobile tires and various other rubber products. Carbon black is also used as extremely black pigments of high hiding power in various applications such as paint, carbon paper, and printing ink. Other applications of carbon black include usage in protective coatings, plastics, and resistors for electronic circuits.
Adoption of carbon black is very high due to its beneficial characteristics such as efficient absorbing of UV light, increased tire tread wear, high rolling resistance, improved thermal conductivity, and superior UV protection. Manufacturing process for carbon black include partial ignition of heavy petroleum, oil furnaces, and thermal decomposition method. Acetylene black, furnace black, channel black, and lamp black process are four distinctive procedures which are used to manufacture.
Carbon black provides heat-dissipation capabilities when added to rubber compounds. Its application in rubber products improves handling, tread wear, fuel mileage, and provides resistance against abrasion. Apart from its applications in rubber tires carbon black is extensively used in various molded and extruded industrial rubber products such as air springs, vibration isolation devices, conveyor belts, gaskets, and grommets.
