production status of world carbon black

May 24, 2005

data in the latest "world carbon black" published by American Freedonia group (which is the authority for the statistics and prediction of the production and demand of rubber and carbon black) show that the world carbon black consumption will reach 8.62 million tons in 2006, of which the carbon black used in tires and tire parts accounts for 65.8% of the carbon black consumption, which is 5.67 million tons, The annual growth rate is 2.4% in, and the growth rate will reach 3.5% from 2001 to 2006; The carbon black market for non tire rubber products (rubber hoses, tapes, tapes, etc.) has reversed the downturn in the past decade, and its consumption will reach 2.38 million tons, accounting for 27.6% of the carbon black consumption. The annual average growth rate will be 1.7%, and the annual average growth rate will reach about 5.2%; The consumption of special carbon black is 570000 tons, accounting for 6.6% of the consumption of carbon black. The annual average growth rate is 2.8%. The annual growth rate of 20 speed regulating potentiometer will reach 3.5% in the year when it is set at zero. Because of its high added value, it is the focus of future research and development

according to the prediction of American Freedonia group, from 1999 to 2004, the annual average growth rate of world carbon black demand is about 3.0%, that is, from 7.047 million tons in 1999 to 8.16 million tons in 2004, including 2.135 million tons in North America, 1.43 million tons in Western Europe, 875000 tons in China (the annual average growth rate is 5.2%), 915000 tons in Japan, 1.52 million tons in other countries in the Asia Pacific, and 1.285 million tons in other regions of the world if some necessary names and functions are added

yoshihihiko Yoshida of Japan carbon black Association predicted that the annual average growth rate of world carbon black demand in is expected to be 2.7% according to the carbon black output counted by CTC International Organization (which is the authoritative organization for the statistics and prediction of the production and demand of carbon black raw oil and oil furnace carbon black) and the world rubber demand predicted by IISRP (the International Association of synthetic rubber producers, which is the authoritative organization for the statistics and prediction of rubber production and demand), That is, from 7.42 million tons in 2000 to 8.442 million tons in 2005, including 2.12 million tons in North America, 591000 tons in central and South America, 1.56 million tons in Western Europe, 195000 tons in Central Europe, 830000 tons in China (with an average annual growth rate of 5.0%), 2.391 million tons in other countries in the Asia Pacific region, 530000 tons in CIS countries, and 225000 tons in Africa and the Middle East. Freedonia's data is similar to Yoshida's prediction of the annual growth rate of China's carbon black demand (5.2% and 5.0% respectively), but from the actual growth of China in the past three years, the annual growth rate obviously exceeded their prediction. Asian carbon black production will exceed 3million tons; The hot spots of world carbon black demand are China, India, Brazil, Czech Republic and Hungary; The carbon black market in North America is mainly driven by the demand of Mexico; Although the Japanese automobile and rubber markets are weak, and the demand for carbon black is lower than the global average, it is still one of the world's huge carbon black markets; The demand for carbon black in Western Europe is growing slowly, and the demand in Eastern Europe will recover

in recent years, the major carbon black producers in the world, which have the least impact of temperature drift, have mostly adopted capital operation methods, namely joint venture, acquisition or merger, to expand their production capacity. Taking the three giants in the carbon black industry as an example, Cabot's production capacity increased from 1.605 million tons in 1997 to 2.038 million tons in 2002, with a net increase of 433000 tons in five years, with an average annual growth rate of 27.0%; Degussa increased from 852000 tons in 1997 to 1445000 tons in 2002, with a net increase of 593000 tons in five years, with a growth rate of 69.6%; Columbia company increased from 645000 tons in 1997 to 1179000 tons in 2002, with a net increase of 534000 tons in five years, with an increase rate of 82.8%. The current production capacity of the world's top ten carbon black producers is as follows: Cabot's production capacity is 2.038 million tons, accounting for 25.2% of the world's total capacity; Degussa company is 1.914 million tons, accounting for 17.5%; Columbia company accounted for 1.179 million tons, accounting for 14.6%; Taiwan China National Rubber Corporation was 494000 tons, accounting for 6.1%; Bhara Group Corporation of India is 370000 tons, accounting for 4.6%; Richardson company of the United States is 363000 tons, accounting for 4.5%; Tokai carbon company of Japan is 294000 tons, accounting for 3.6%; Nippon Steel/Asahi carbon black company is 251000 tons, accounting for 3.1%; Korean DC chemical company is 200000 tons, accounting for 2.5%; India Phillips carbon black company is 175000 tons, accounting for 2.2%. As can be seen from the above, Cabot, Degussa and Colombia account for 57% of the world carbon black market; The production capacity of Taiwan Zhongxiang company is nearly 500000 tons, and the capacity of its two factories in Chinese Mainland (Anshan, Liaoning and Ma'anshan, Anhui) is nearly 100000 tons
