The key consumers are turning now to comparatively low-cost material manufactured in Eastern Europe and Asia Pacific. The traditionally large-scale Western carbon black providers are facing thus major challenges, which nevertheless are thought to be only temporary, according to many market specialists. Key carbon black markets will still remain rather dependable on the West due to the large volumes of the consumed material.
The key demand field for carbon black, vehicle tire industry, is expected to give way to the non-traditional application areas in terms of the demand growth. Totally the global demand is forecast to increase at around 4% annually in the near future. The growth will be driven by the non-tire applications and also by the most promising regional markets of Asia-Pacific.
