Growing Automotive Tire Sector in Developing Economies Fuels Middle East & Africa Carbon Black Market
Carbon black plays a significant role in developing high-performance electrical and mechanical properties for tough elastic polymeric substances such as rubber. Thus, carbon black is widely used to manufacture reinforcing and pigment phases in automobile tires due to its ability to increase tire life by reducing thermal damage. Materials used in manufacturing car tires are considered as a major factor in the comfort and safety aspects of automotive design. Carbon black is an additive in the rubber used to manufacture tires that significantly improves tensile strength and abrasion resistance when compounded into the polymer matrix. With the rising number of automobiles across the world and continuous improvements in their performance, the demand for carbon black is increasing for rubber and automotive tire manufacturing. Increasing automobile production boosts the demand for tires, which ultimately propels the growth of the carbon black market.
