Specialty Carbon Black Market Research Report—Global Forecast till 2030 To Witness Promising Growth Opportunities

 

Specialty Carbon Black Market Analysis

The global specialty carbon black market is likely to touch USD 2.3 billion at a 5.3% CAGR between 2022- 2030, according to the recent Market Research Future (MRFR) report. Specialty carbon black, simply put, is a pure form of carbon black that has low content of metals, sulfur, ash, and other impurities. It has excellent UV protection and conductive properties and provides pigmentation. Owing to its alluring features and key benefits specialty black market has wide applications in foaming reagents, adhesives and sealants, batteries, masterbatches, paints and coatings, printing inks, plastics, and others.

Various factors are adding to the global Specialty Carbon Black Market growth. These factors, as stated by the MRFR report, include demand for printing inks in packaging industries for its excellent pigmenting property, used for imparting functionalities like conductive characteristics and UV protection to polymers, increasing adoption of hybrid and electric vehicles, and expanding construction industry both in developed and emerging economies. Additional factors adding the market growth include growing electrical & electronics industry, rapid technological advancements, increasing use to manufacture paints and coatings, polymers, and burgeoning demand for printing inks in different end use industries.

On the contrary, high carbon dioxide emission in the production of carbon black may limit the specialty carbon black market growth.
