Description

The specialty carbon black market was projected to register a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period (2021-2027). Specialty carbon black is the highest and purest form/grade of carbon black and has the low presence of sulfur, ash, and metals. The hydrocarbon is burned to manufacture high-end, refined chemicals such as specialty carbon black with a limited air supply. Specialty Carbon black is widely used for various applications such as UV stabilizing, conductive agents, and pigmenting purposes in the different specialty products. Plastics have witnessed a leading application area for specialty carbon black from the last decade; however, increasing usage in the battery technology is gaining traction and is expected to witness lucrative growth in the upcoming years. In recent years, the world has seen the Asia Pacific as a leading consumer in the global specialty carbon black market. It is anticipated to be dominating in the upcoming years ahead.

Global Specialty Carbon Black Market Dynamics

The demand for specialty carbon black for the conductive packaging, film and sheet, fibers, moldings, pipes, and semi-conductive cables has been gaining traction over the last few years. The implantation of smart materials such as conductive specialty carbon black in the building & construction activities is expected to create lucrative growth for specialty carbon black in the upcoming years.

The specialty carbon black is used in industrial and automotive applications for painting and coatings to provide UV protection, conductivity, and pigmentation to the end products acts as a reinforcing agent. The positive outlook of the automotive and industrial activities is expected to boost the demand for specialty carbon black. In recent years, consumer buying behavior is shifted towards corrosion resistance, flexibility, high durability, and low maintenance of the product, especially in automotive and consumer electronics. In the era of perfection and quality, specialty carbon black is acts as a catalyst to enhance the product quality to the desired level. According to consumer preference, the increasing concern towards product development is expected to support the specialty carbon black market's growth.

During the COVID 19 pandemic, the global specialty carbon black market has witnessed a substantial supply-demand gap, which results in a drop in overall sales. End-use industries are going through huge setbacks that affect the demand for specialty carbon black.
