The South America carbon black market size is expected to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the growing penetration of carbon black in various industries including tires and plastics.
Carbon black is a type of para crystalline carbon that includes more than 94% of pure carbon and improves the material's physical and mechanical qualities. Tires, plastics, rubber items, printing inks, and toners are some of the carbon black's applications. It absorbs UV light and turns it to heat, thus it's commonly used to insulate wires and cables. It's mostly utilized in manufacturing of a variety of rubber products and colors. Carbon black is generally used as a low-cost rubber reinforcing agent in tires.

The breakout of COVID-19 has had caused several chemical production businesses to struggle in last two years. Raw material and demand have both had an influence on the carbon black business.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Rapid advancements in the chemical and automobile industries is expected to fuel market growth
- The growing paint and coating industries is estimated to propel the carbon black market forward during the forecast period,
- Variations in raw material prices, as well as an increase in the use of silica as a carbon black substitute can hamper market growth in the coming years.
- Increasing demand for carbon black in plastics is expected to offer new growth opportunities for the market.
