Abstract
Global demand to rise 4.3% annually through 2013
World carbon black demand is forecast to rise 4.3 percent per year through
2013 to 11.6 million metric tons, bolstered by a healthy global rubber market
over the same period. Gains will be exaggerated to some extent by the fact
that growth will be rising off a relatively weak 2008 base, when a significant
part of the world saw the beginnings of recession. The vast majority of carbon
black finds use as reinforcement material in vulcanized rubber goods,
including over 60 percent in motor vehicle tires alone. Carbon black demand
from the tire sector is projected to increase 3.7 percent per year through
2013 to 6.9 million metric tons. The nontire rubber carbon black market will
expand 4.8 percent per year through 2013 to 3.6 million metric tons.
Special blacks to be fastest growing market
The market for special blacks will advance a strong 5.9 percent per year to
1.2 million metric tons. While special blacks comprise less than ten percent
of the overall global carbon black market on a tonnage basis, they command
considerably higher per-kilogram prices than commodity furnace blacks. Carbon
black manufacturers will continue to spend a disproportionate portion of their
research and development budget on the special blacks sector. In addition to
higher margins, a strong position in special blacks offers suppliers greater
protection from cyclicality in the highly interconnected rubber, tire and
motor vehicle industries. Although demand for special blacks will remain
concentrated in the plastics, inks and paints sectors, other uses such as
conductive fillers will hold the best growth prospects through 2013.
Asia/Pacific region to post strongest gains in demand
The Asia/Pacific region, excluding Japan, will post the strongest gains in
carbon black demand through 2013. The large markets of China and India will
post particularly impressive gains due to a continuing rapid expansion in
their respective motor vehicle and tire industries that will be driven by
robust economic growth in both nations. China and India saw the largest
increases in new carbon black capacity among all countries of the world over
the 2003 to 2008 period, a trend that will continue through 2013.
Demand for carbon black in the developed parts of the world will continue to
post below-average gains through 2013, with the large US and Japanese markets
holding particularly weak prospects. Carbon black demand in Western Europe
will recover from recent declines, but growth will continue to significantly
lag the global average.
Carbon black capacity utilization rates dropped significantly in developed
countries in 2008 due to economic slowdown and/or recession. This situation
was especially dire in the US, where capacity utilization rates fell below 70
percent, resulting in several carbon black plants being closed or mothballed.
Through 2013, the US and Western Europe will see capacity reductions and
consequently, an expansion in utilization rates.
North America and Western Europe, which combined produced 48 percent of the
world' s carbon black in 1998, will account for just 23 percent of global
output in 2013. Conversely, the Asia/ Pacific region, which produced 36
percent of the world' s carbon black in 1998, will account for a 57 percent
share in 2013.

Carbon black world demand projected to reach 11.6 million metric tons, growing 4.3% per year through 2013
March 5th, 2010
Global Information would like to present a new market research report, "WORLD CARBON BLACK (Industry forecasts for 2013 & 2018)" by The Freedonia Group.
Carbon black is mainly used as a reinforcement material in vulcanized rubber goods (e.g. it is found in over 60% of motor vehicle tires alone). In the tire sector, carbon black is forecasted to rise 3.7% per year through 2013 to 6.9 million metric tons. On the other hand, the non-tire rubber carbon black market is expected to reach 3.6 million metric tons, gaining at a rate of 4.8% per year through 2013.
Through 2013, it is expected that the strongest gains in carbon black demand will be found in the Asia/Pacific region, not including Japan. Amidst countries all over the world, China and India experienced the biggest growth in new carbon black capacity between the years 2003 and 2008 this trend will continue into the year 2013.
Research and analysis at The Freedonia Group concludes that special blacks, in particular, will be the fastest growing market growing at a solid rate of 5.9% per year to reach approximately 1.2 million metric tons. Demand for special blacks will primarily be located in the inks, paints, and plastics sectors. The special blacks world market commands a considerably higher per-kilogram price than commodity furnace blacks despite the fact that the former accounts for less than ten percent of the overall global carbon market. Due to higher margins, a robust position in special blacks offers suppliers increased protection from cyclicality in the highly interconnected rubber, motor vehicle and tire industries.
