Carbon Black Market Dynamics

Driver: Increasing tire production

Rubber tires were originally white, but in the early 1900s, the Goodrich Tire Company discovered the benefits of using carbon black in tire production. By adding approximately 50% carbon black by weight, the durability and strength of the rubber increased significantly. This reinforcing filler increased the road-wear abrasion of the tires by up to 100-fold and improved their tensile strength. Additionally, carbon black helped dissipate heat from the belt and tread areas of the tire, reducing thermal damage and extending its lifespan. Carbon black is classified into two categories for tire applications: tread and carcass. Tread grades, identified by ASTM 100, 200, and 300 series, provide enhanced tread wear, traction, sidewall abrasion, and cut resistance. Carcass grades, identified by ASTM 500, 600, and 700 series, are semi-reinforcing and affect ply strength, air retention, and hysteresis in the tire's body. Furthermore, specialty grades have been developed for unique tire applications. The increasing demand for vehicles due to socio-economic growth and industrialization has led to a rise in tire production. In India, tire production increased from 976.08 thousand units in 2010 to 1,461.5 thousand units in 2015, while in China, it increased from 776.12 thousand units in 2010 to 1,133.68 thousand units in 2015.

Driver: High demand for plastics

Carbon black is a highly versatile component widely used by plastics compounders. It provides protection against UV degradation, adds color, enhances electrical conductivity, and improves opacity. The choice of carbon black depends entirely on the specific requirements of the end product. It is utilized in various important plastic segments, including molding, film pipe, fiber, and cable. Plastics have many applications in key industries such as construction, automotive, electrical & electronics, and packaging. This increasing application scope can be attributed to the numerous characteristics of plastics, including durability, cost-effectiveness, corrosion resistance, lightweight, flexibility, and low maintenance. Countries like China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Brazil have been witnessing a surge in construction activities due to rapid urbanization and rising disposable income. The growing awareness, demand for sustainable infrastructure, and increased construction spending by the government in these economies are expected to positively impact the demand for carbon black in the forecast period. Acrylic thermoplastics are used as a substitute for glass and find applications in various items such as aquariums, aircraft windows, lenses of exterior lights in automobiles, ports of submersibles, and helmet visors. Due to its chemical resistance, polyethylene is used to manufacture moving machine parts, gears, artificial joints, bearings, and bulletproof vests. These characteristics are expected to contribute to the growth of the plastic industry in the forecast period. The increasing demand and need for electrical and electronic components, such as microwaves, ovens, phones, tablets, laptops, computers, televisions, music players, and fax machines, are expected to drive the demand for plastics over the next seven years, thereby boosting the demand for carbon black.

Restraint: Stringent regulations

Several key bodies and their regulations influence the industry's dynamics. These bodies include the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), the Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA), and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). According to IARC, carbon black is classified as a group 2B carcinogen based on sufficient evidence in animals. Initially, it was believed that the carcinogenicity of carbon black only affected specific species and had no impact on human health. However, recent studies have shown that regular exposure to carbon black and other poorly soluble particles may affect human lung capacity as measured by the forced expiratory volume in a second (FEV1). The EPA has proposed NESHAP regulations that will impact major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions in the carbon black manufacturing industry. The health effects identified by the EPA include chronic (long-term), acute (short-term), reproductive and developmental, and cancer effects. The severity of these effects depends on various factors, such as ambient concentrations in the area, frequency and duration of exposure, pollutant characteristics, and individual characteristics. Based on available data, the EPA has determined that a significant portion of HAP emissions from carbon black facilities come from process vents. Therefore, the EPA has mandated the use of control equipment to ensure compliance with the regulations.
