DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "The Global Market for Carbon Black to 2025" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.
Carbon black is industrially manufactured in the form of hundreds of defined commercial grades that vary in their primary particle size, aggregate size and shape, porosity, surface area, and chemistry. The global demand for carbon black is over 13 million tons per annum, mainly for application as reinforcing fillers in tires, automotive non-tire and general rubber products. Other smaller markets include paints and coatings, printing inks and toners and plastics. High value opportunity markets have been identified in conductive materials, ESD shielding, batteries and advanced insulation.
The industry will face significant challenges in the coming years from environmentally friendly and advanced materials that are currently prohibitively expensive for large scale usage, but represent a significant future market threat as the trend towards other materials is expected to grow. Carbon blacks will continue to dominate the rubber market over the next few years but face competition from precipitated silica and other materials in tire applications.
This trend may be partially offset by growth in the market for specialty carbon black grades in markets such as:
- Colour pigments in plastic, paints and inks.
- Ultraviolet (UV) stabilizers.
- Conductive battery additives.
- Wire and cable insulation.
- Fillers to impart electrical conductivity to polymers for electrostatic dissipative and conductive applications.
