Report Code: CMR 31150 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Recovered Carbon Black Market Overview

The recovered carbon black market size is forecast to reach US$780.3 million by 2027 after growing at a CAGR of 12.3% during 2022-2027. Recovered carbon black (rCB) is a residual material, obtained from used tires through pyrolysis process. The recovered material contains a mixture of fumed silica, zinc components, and sulphur compounds. The use of recovered carbon black is gaining traction in multiple sectors as it helps in reducing the carbon footprint and contains less polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. This recovered substance is used as a color pigment, for tire production, paints and coatings, and several other applications. Recovered carbon black finds its extensive use in the automotive sector where it is utilized in the manufacturing of multiple components such as hoods, tires, hoses, and belts. The automotive sector is booming globally with increasing production and sales of vehicles and this is expected to contribute to the market’s growth during the forecast period. For instance, according to the 2021 data by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, passenger car registrations in the European region increased 25.2% in the first half of 2021. Furthermore, the recovered carbon black is used in the production of several electronic products such as home appliances, computer and mobile phone casings, and various other electrical components. The electronic sector is expanding globally with increasing demand for electronic products and this is expected to drive the market’s growth during the forecast period. For instance, as per the July 2021 data by China.org.cn, consumer electronics export in South Korea maintained a growth trajectory for 12 months in a row. However, the complex process of recovering carbon black might hamper the market’s growth during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact

The recovered carbon black market was severely affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The market was introduced to challenges such as disruption in the supply chain and idling of factories, which hampered the market’s growth during the pandemic. The market players had to implement several measures to withstand the unprecedented circumstance amid the pandemic. Moreover, the stagnant growth in the automotive industry further hampered the market’s growth. As per the report by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, in 2020, the production of automobiles plunged 16% globally due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The recovered carbon black market had considerable growth towards the end of 2020. Going forward, the market is projected to witness significant growth due to the expansion of the automotive and electronics sector.

Recovered Carbon Black Market Segment Analysis - By Application

The tire application segment dominated the recovered carbon black market in 2021 and is growing at a CAGR of 12.7% during the forecast period. The residual material consists of a mixture of fumed silica, zinc components, and sulphur compounds used in multiple high-end applications ranging from color pigment, plastics, paints, and coatings. However, recovered carbon black finds its massive use in the production of tires as it helps in reducing the size of the carbon footprint to a great extent. The demand for recovered carbon black is increasing in the tire application and this is expected to augment the market’s growth during the forecast period. For instance, as per the March 2022 journal by Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, the demand for recovered carbon black is expanding in the tire sector with rCB as a substitute for commercial carbon black in tires. Such growth in the demand for recovered carbon black in tire application is expected to increase the requirement of recovered carbon black, in turn driving the market’s growth during the forecast period.

Recovered Carbon Black Market Segment Analysis - By End Use

The automotive sector dominated the recovered carbon black market in 2021 and is growing at a CAGR of 13.2% during the forecast period. Recovered carbon black contains less polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and helps in achieving sustainability goals which allow its massive consumption in the automotive industry. The residual material is used in the production of vehicle tires, hoses, belts, and various other components in large quantities. The automotive sector is displaying tremendous growth globally and this is expected to further drive the market’s growth during the forecast period. For instance, according to the October 2021 stats by Maruti Suzuki, the mini and compact segment in India registered 400568 units sold between April-September in 2021-22 which was 307,322 units in the same period in 2020-21.
