With the rapid growth in the rubber industry, the carbon black market growth is likely to fuel over the coming years. Carbon black is primarily employed as a filler in rubber compounds to improve and strengthen their physical properties and further improve the vulcanisation as well as the volume of rubber.

Using carbon black disperses heat away from the tyre tread and the belt area which enhances the durability of rubber items. Accordingly, carbon black is added heavily to the sidewalls, carcasses, and inner liners of tyres, among other tyre components. Such aspects are likely to fuel the market growth for carbon black over the forecast period.

The surging demand from industries like construction, electronics, consumer goods, rubber, and automotive is one of the key aspects boosting the carbon black market. This is further expected to enhance the demand for carbon black across the globe over the upcoming years. However, production processes associated with harmful gas emissions is anticipated to obstruct the market growth of carbon black.
