The primary driver of carbon black market demand is its extensive use in the rubber and automotive industries, particularly in tire manufacturing, which accounts for over 70% of total consumption. The global carbon black market size is valued above $27 billion, with consumption reaching around 14 million tonnes. Strengthening sectors such as packaging, plastics, inks, and specialty coatings also fuel demand.

Government initiatives play a crucial role in supporting carbon black demand and market development. India, for example, has established a national carbon credit trading scheme, facilitating the issuance and trading of carbon credit certificates among industry participants. This is complemented by company expansions like PCBL Limited’s increased capacity to 790,000 MTPA and collaborations with international partners. Additionally, regulatory frameworks aiming at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Key Market Trends & Insights:

Rising Demand from Automotive and Tire Industries

The carbon black market is experiencing significant growth driven by increased use in automotive manufacturing, especially for tire production.
