[Online Quarterly Update] Europe Carbon Black Market experienced significant growth as its demand reached 2.05 million tonnes in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow at a healthy CAGR of 5.81% during the forecast period (2023-35).
Carbon black is nearly pure elemental carbon, usually found as a fine powder or in pellet form. Various functional groups are combined on the surface of carbon black. By modifying its surface properties, we can change the compound’s characteristics. The properties of carbon black also depend on the ratio of primary and secondary feedstock and air, which should be carefully monitored to get the desired properties.
Carbon black is produced industrially using a mixture of gaseous or liquid hydrocarbons which are easily vaporized. Raw materials which can be used for carbon black manufacturing include certain fractions of coal tar oils and petrochemical oils from petroleum refining or the production of Ethylene from Naphtha. The primary feedstock, called carbon black feedstock (CBFS) or carbon black oil (CBO), comprises heavy hydrocarbons (C12 and higher compounds) and other higher compounds. Carbon black is manufactured by the incomplete decomposition of heavy hydrocarbons under controlled conditions. The various manufacturing processes differ from each other depending on the arrangement of heat and decomposition stages. More than 90% of carbon black produced worldwide is manufactured through the furnace black process.
Depending on the function and purpose of carbon black, it can be categorized as carbon black for rubber, carbon black pigment, and conductive carbon black. Speciality carbon black has a wide variety of end-uses and demand is largely driven by the development of the coatings, polymers, and printing industries. Demand for speciality carbon black in the coatings and polymers industries is mainly influenced by the levels of industrialization, infrastructure, construction, and car ownership. The major factor affecting the demand for rubber carbon black for the Tires industry is the number of replacement & original equipment tires produced.
Revival of the global automotive industry coupled with expanding non-rubber applications including application in paints, inks, coatings, masterbatches and conductive polymers created an increased demand for carbon black during 2015-21. Establishing a carbon black production facility requires a lot of capital input which restricts the entry of small players in the business. The majority of the European carbon black market is dominated by companies with sizeable cash flows. Global companies in Europe have production facilities spread across various countries, which allows the establishment of strong control in the European market. These companies are Birla Carbon, Orion Engineered Carbons S.A, Omsk Carbon Group and Cabot Corporation. These companies employ different strategies for different regions to increase market penetration.
The increasing demand for Carbon Black in a wide range of the End-user industries such as Tyres, Mechanical Rubber Goods, Plastics & Polymers, Printing Inks & others (Paints, etc), is largely driven by the development of the tire and mechanical rubber goods industries. Demand for rubber carbon black in mechanical rubber goods is mainly influenced by vehicle trends, construction activity and general industrial production. Carbon black is used in the tyre industry to enhance the mechanical properties of tyres by reinforcing natural rubber and increasing the strength and resistance to abrasion. With the growth of the automobile industry globally, tyre production output is expected to increase as a result of which the tyre industry is estimated to account for about 70% of the carbon black market by 2035. The primary application for speciality grade of Carbon Black is Coatings in the large number of industrial sectors such as Automotive & Transportation, Architectural & Transportation. In Polymer segments it is used in making Wires & Cables, Pipes, Adhesives & Sealants, Engineering Plastics, Synthetic Fibres, Film & Thermal Insulation. Other applications are Printing & Packaging for inks, toner, inkjet and Building & Construction materials and Special applications in Batteries, Refractory Materials & Non-woven Textiles. Another segment that utilizes MRG is in the manufacturing of Belts, Hoses, Precision Sealing Systems, Solid & Bicycle Tires & Rollers, Rubber Cables, Rubber Food & Pharmaceuticals.
Among different countries, Germany is anticipated to be the most lucrative market for Carbon Black suppliers with a share of around 35%, and the country will maintain its dominance over the others in the forecast period as well. The regional dominance was mainly due to the presence of dominating & emerging automotive industries which are among the major consumers of carbon Black. Leading general rubber goods companies Continental AG and Freudenberg Group are headquartered in Germany, owing to which a large amount of carbon black is consumed by Germany. Europe markets are expected to grow rapidly over the coming years owing to rising demand from end-use industries such as Tires, Mechanical Rubber Goods, Plastics & Polymers, Printing Inks, Others (Paints, etc). Europe, Russia, Germany & France, being the leading Carbon Black producers are observing the highest consumption of carbon black in the Europe market share and are expected to continue their dominance. France was the second-largest regional market in 2021 followed by Russia, Italy, UK, Spain & Poland.
