Carbon Black Pricing Overview
Asia
Against the backdrop of continued global recession in the automobile
industry, the Asian Carbon Black industry registered substantial gains
compared to its Q2 performance. Sharp pick-up in demand for replacement
tires seemed potentially significant to negate the impact of COVID-19
outbreak on the automotive supply chain. The demand for Rubber Carbon
Black & Specialty Carbon Black in China has recently gained traction
because the COVID recovery rate in China turned in favor. Producers
reported considerable benefits from a sudden consumer shift towards
personal mobility as economies opened to lift lockdown restrictions. With
ASEAN and China being important markets in terms of tires and Carbon
Black trading, Carbon Black prices picked up in India to assess around
USD 1250 per MT CFR.

North America
The North American Carbon Black markets witnessed back-to-back
increment in the product prices during Q3 FY20. The uptrend seemed
strongly supported by increasing cost of operations, labor, and tightening
environmental regulations in line with the revision of sustainable
manufacturing standards. Cabot announced upwards revision in the
Carbon Black pricing in mid-August equivalent to USD 66 per tonne, amid
better capacity utilization on the back of recovering rubber tire
manufacturing in the US. In addition, Tokai Carbon – the largest carbon
black producer in North America, announced rise in prices for all its Carbon
Black products in the US by USD 40-50 per tonne during the quarter. This
was primarily due to tighter regulations imposed on the bunker fuel oil
Sulphur content by international Marine Organization (IMO). On the
demand front, manufacturers observed that demand for Carbon Black
recovered rather well in Q3, versus the historic plunge experienced during
the second quarter.

Europe
The European Carbon Black market was struggling to maintain its margins
as the economy battled to stand against the COVID-led headwinds. The
third quarter outlook however, seemed to gain strength from the tyre
applications as driving remained the preferred mode of transportation with
people preferring to maintain stringent physical distancing amid surging
cases. Demand for Carbon Black for manufacturing ink for printed materials
remained an area of weakness, keeping the specialty Carbon Black sales
largely pressured.

Carbon Black Pricing Overview
About
Carbon black is composed of fine particles of carbon. It is produced from
incomplete combustion of natural gas or petroleum, primarily residual heavy
fuel oil from petroleum refining, coal tar distillation and Ethylene at
temperatures above 2000 deg Fahrenheit. The characteristics of Carbon Black
vary with the manufacturing process involved. Based upon variations in particle
size, structure and purity, and the method of production, Carbon Black can be
categorized into lampblack, furnace black, bone black, channel black,
acetylene and thermal black. Furnace black dominates the global market,
holding about 90% of global Carbon Black output with thermal black making up
the remaining volume. Lampblack, bone black and acetylene black are the
specialty products. Carbon Black is used as a reinforcing, pigmenting, UV
stabilizing or conductive agent, mainly in rubber applications. More than 60%
of the world’s Carbon Black is consumed in the tyre industry. Non-tyre rubber
applications such as car hoses, tubes, belts and gaskets account for nearly
25% of the total demand, while the rest is consumed in specialty blacks used
in paints and coatings, printing inks, plastics & toners.
