Carbon Black is an ultra-fine black powder produced by the incomplete combustion or thermal cracking of hydrocarbons. It is widely used in industries such as tires, rubber products, plastics, inks, coatings, and batteries. Its core functions include:
• Enhancing material performance: Improving wear resistance, tear resistance, and durability in tires.
• Conductivity: Used in power cables, batteries, and electronic components.
• UV protection: Extending the lifespan of plastics and coatings.
• Colorant: Providing a stable black pigment for inks and coatings.
The global carbon black market size is expected to exceed 40 billion US dollars by 2031, with an annual growth rate of approximately 4.5%. With the increasing demand for electric vehicles and green tires, the demand for high-performance carbon black (CAS 1333-86-4) will continue to rise.
1. Capacity and Price Advantage
China is the world's largest producer of carbon black, accounting for over 30% of global capacity. Due to economies of scale and a mature coal tar supply chain, Chinese carbon black offers superior cost performance compared to suppliers in Europe and the United States. In 2024, China's carbon black exports increased by 32%, mainly to Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
2. Technological Upgrades and Environmental Compliance
In the past, China's carbon black was mainly of medium and low-end quality, but now, leading Chinese carbon black manufacturers have successfully developed high-performance carbon black (such as N220, N330) and specialty carbon black (conductive, pigment carbon black). Additionally, Chinese carbon black enterprises actively adopt waste gas power generation, desulfurization, and denitrification technologies, meeting international environmental standards.
3. Stable Supply Chain and Logistics Support
Chinese carbon black enterprises are concentrated in East China and North China (such as Shandong, Shanxi, and Hebei), close to coking plants and tire manufacturing centers, ensuring a stable supply of raw materials. Meanwhile, China has a world-leading port and logistics network, enabling rapid delivery to global markets.
As a professional chemical trading service provider, we have established long-term partnerships with top Chinese carbon black manufacturers, ensuring:
✅ High cost-effectiveness: Direct factory connection, reducing intermediate costs.
✅ Stable supply: Annual production capacity exceeds 200,000 tons, supporting large-volume orders.
✅ Efficient logistics: Quick export through major ports such as Tianjin Port and Qingdao Port.
✅ Technical support: Providing carbon black application solutions to help customers optimize product performance.
With the rise of electric vehicles, green tires, and conductive materials, the demand for carbon black will continue to grow. Chinese carbon black, with its cost, technology, and supply chain advantages, has become the preferred choice for global buyers.
