Carbon Black is Projected to touch the mark of USD 17,231.4 Million by the end of 2027

Pune, India, May 2018 /press release/- Market Research Future Published a Cooked Research Report on Global Carbon Black Research Report.

Global sales of the carbon black market have witnessed higher growth as the demand for tire and rubber manufacturing continues to reach new heights in major emerging markets across the globe. According to the study conducted by Market Research Future (MRFR), the global carbon market is set to expand at a robust CAGR of 4.59% over the forecast period (2020-2027). The demand for the product in advanced economies has been observed to reach a maturity level. The countries such as China, India, South Korea, and Brazil have emerged as new growth avenues for major industry players. The substantial boost to construction activities in recent years, particularly in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East is expected to fuel the growth of the market during the years to follow. 

The protuberant factor favoring the growth of the global carbon black market is the surging use of carbon black in tire manufacturing and rubber reinforcement. Additionally, widening the application scope for carbon black in rapidly emerging industries such as plastics and paints & coatings is likely to propel the market growth. Moreover, the increased demand in major end-use industries such as automotive and aerospace is anticipated to fuel demand for the product during the forecast period. However, the major bottleneck in the growth trajectory of the market is that the market is challenged with the changing regulations resulting in the replacement of carbon black with silica as a reinforcing agent in tire manufacturing. Nevertheless, bolstering the automotive aftermarket & construction sector in emerging economies is posing as an important opportunity for further growth of the market.
