Global Specialty Carbon Black Market is valued at approximately USD 2.9 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 10% over the forecast period 2022-2028. Specialty carbon black is a refined chemical made by burning hydrocarbons in a restricted environment. Specialty carbon black, also known as pigment black, is the purest form of carbon black, containing the least amount of ash, sulphur, metals, and other impurities. Thermal stability, high opacity, and resistance to acids, alkalis, and black organic dyes are all potential growth drivers for the specialty carbon black market. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are thus used in a variety of applications by various end-user industries. The paper industry uses medium-sized granules as photoprotective products and decorative elements. They are, on the other hand, used in the construction industry. The specialty carbon black industry's primary end-user industries, on the other hand, are the automotive and manufacturing industries. However, the primary market constraint for the specialty carbon black industry is the fluctuation in crude oil prices. The market for specialty carbon black is highly concentrated, with a few companies controlling the majority of the market. The market is experiencing massive capital expansions as companies compete for future market share. Companies like Continental Carbon and Birla Carbon are taking steps to ensure that the market grows at a faster pace. For example, OMSK Carbon Group installed advanced equipment in the Belarus facility in January 2019, continuing their efforts to start operations at the new carbon black manufacturing facility at the Belarus Mogilev plant. The company plans to produce 200,000 MT of products per year and export necessary materials to international markets. Similarly, Birla Carbon, a leading market player, introduced a sustainable carbonaceous material in 2021 that is suitable for a variety of applications while causing no harm to the environment or ecosystem.
The key regions considered for the global Specialty Carbon Black market study include: Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. Asia Pacific emerged as the fastest-growing market for specialty carbon black. Plastic consumption is increasing in major end-use industries like construction, automotive, conductive polymers, and packaging, which is driving growth in this region. China, India, and Southeast Asian countries are increasing their polymer production. Whereas, North America holds a significant share of the global specialty carbon black market. Paints and coatings, moulded plastics, and wires and cables are likely to see increased demand due to the United States' economic recovery and expanding automotive and commercial building activities. With the growth of the polymer and packaged food industries in North America, there is a significant demand for food and conductive grade specialty carbon black.
