The Asia-Pacific carbon black market is projected to record a CAGR of 5.68% during the forecast period, 2023-2032. The increasing demand for industrial and high-performance coatings from end-user industries like wood, decorative, aerospace, and marine offers growth opportunities.
Japan, Indonesia, India, South Korea, Australia & New Zealand, Thailand, China, Vietnam, and Rest of Asia-Pacific are evaluated for the Asia-Pacific carbon black market growth assessment. Japan is the fifth-largest producer of carbon black globally and benefits from the presence of Tokai Carbon, Imerys Graphite, and Cabot Japan KK. It majorly produces furnace black. Also, it has one of the largest rubber industries worldwide. In addition, the country ranks third after China and the United States with regard to the total amount of rubber material consumed.
In Indonesia, the natural rubber output decreased by 15% in 2019 over 2018 due to a fungal disease. This impacted its rubber production industry severely. Whereas in 2020, as per the Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC), the rubber output was evaluated to drop 12.6% to 2.9 million metric tons. This created a disruption in the supply chain of the domestic tire manufacturers, negatively impacting the tire fillers market.
Furthermore, the implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) has ignited hopes for the exports of domestically-manufactured cars. The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is estimated to facilitate unlocking opportunities for exporters as it intensifies regional trade. The most important export markets include the Philippines, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and Japan. Such factors offer growth opportunities in these countries.
Some of the prominent companies in the market include: Tokai Carbon Co Ltd, Imerys Graphite & Carbon, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, etc.
