At the beginning of October 2025, the global Carbon Black market was stable this week with Taiwan, the United States, and Germany expressing differing regional dynamic conditions. In Taiwan, steady supply of carbon black from major Asian trading partners and smooth movement of freight allowed for a balanced playing field, with buyers remaining wise and conservative with their purchase procurement strategies. In the US market, there was positive price downward pressure due to the slowing of the seasonal tyre sector while the energy benchmark price was lower in seasonal benchmarks, but suppliers believe that continued restocking activity will rejuvenate purchasing activity and demand early next year. In Germany, stable logistics and transportation options helped offset ongoing softness in consumption, helping keep the market steady and stable in sentiment and direction in spite of slower tyre manufacturing activity. Overall, fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas.
