The recovered carbon black market is projected to reach US$ 8,760.62 million by 2028 from US$ 4,037.76 million in 2021; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.7% from 2021 to 2028.



The recovered carbon black is a material, which is primarily obtained from the pyrolysis of waste tires during recycling and is eco-friendly in nature. Recovered carbon black offers environmental and economic benefits by using unused tires and recycling them. Recovered carbon black is extensively used as a reinforcing agent in the manufacture of various non-tire rubber products. These products include hoses, conveyor belts, gaskets, rubber sheets, seals, geomembranes, and rubber roofing. Besides, it finds applications in coatings, plastic masterbatches, inks, and others. The recovered carbon black market is full of opportunities due to the increasing need for green alternatives in lessening carbon footprint.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold the largest share of the market during the forecast period. Asia Pacific comprises Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and other Asian countries. Countries such as India and China generate huge numbers of waste tires annually, which is a key factor supporting the growth of the recovered carbon black market in the region. Asia Pacific is characterized by high vehicle production, coupled with strong tire demands. The governments of China and India, among others, are focusing on encouraging the sales of electric vehicles. Moreover, growing demand for non-tire rubber products is expected to propel the recovered carbon black market growth in the region.

The ongoing pandemic has drastically altered the status of the industrial sector and has negatively impacted the growth of the recovered carbon black market. The implementation of measures to combat the spread of the virus has aggravated the situation and has impacted the growth of several industrial sectors. Industries such as automotive, industrial, oil gas, chemical, aerospace have been impacted by the sudden distortion in operational efficiencies and disruptions in the value chains attributable to the sudden closure of national and international boundaries. For instance, an article published by ACEA highlighted the severity of impact of COVID-19 upon the automotive sector. The production and sales of motor vehicles suffered a sudden halt in operation, with sales of car registering a drop by 25% in Europe. This has direct correlation with the demand for recovered carbon black market. Moreover, the recovered carbon black market is still in the nascent stage, with manufacturers developing products with different grades and technological advancements.

Further, the pandemic created a disruption in orders and deliveries along with cancellations and a backlog of orders. The significant decline in the growth of several industrial sectors significantly impacted the demand for recovered carbon black in the global market. The significant disruptions in terms of sourcing of raw materials from suppliers as well as temporary closures of the manufacturing base due to indefinite lockdowns and temporary quarantines have impacted the growth of the market during the pandemic period. Nevertheless, as the economies are planning to revive their operations, the demand for recovered carbon black is expected to rise globally. The expanding demand for recovered carbon black for various applications such as tire, non-tire rubber, plastics, coatings, and inks application, along with significant investments by prominent manufacturers is, expected to drive the growth for recovered carbon black.

Ecological Advantages of Recovered Carbon Black

Producing recovered carbon black from waste generated by rubber goods, specifically tires is an ecologically beneficial process. Moreover, the outcome is also finer than virgin carbon black, allowing for better cuts in the finished product. To produce 1 kg of virgin carbon black, ~1.5–2 kg of crude oil is required.Recovering carbon black also entails reusing valuable raw materials, propelling one higher up the recycling hierarchy. Thus, replacing virgin carbon black, produced out of traditional furnace processes, with recovered carbon black considerably reduces carbon footprint. The use of recovered Carbon Black (rCB) alone can reduce the size of the carbon footprint by 80%, which is why many large tire manufacturers are trying to use significantly more recovered carbon black. For instance, in October 2018, Pyrolyx USA began constructing a plant in Terre Haute, Indiana, USA. It is expected to be fully completed in May 2019 and will start production in June 2019. The plant will have the capacity to process 40,000 tons of used tires per year and produce about 13 kilotons of recycled carbon black and 17.5 kilotons of pyrolysis oil, and 6.2 thousand tons of steel. Thus, the cost and environmental advantages associated with recovered carbon black are propelling the market growth.

Application Insights

Based on application, the global recovered carbon black market is divided into tire, non-tire rubber, plastics, and others. The tire segment is anticipated to hold the largest share of the market during the forecast period. Recovered carbon black is one of the immediate products of the pyrolysis process and is usually added to rubber as both a filler and as a strengthening/reinforcing agent. For numerous types of tires, it is used in inner liners, sidewalls, carcasses, and treads, utilizing various types based on specific performance requirements. The recovered carbon black market is predicted to rise swiftly, as it is replacing traditional carbon black in manufacturing tires. Also, recovered carbon black, produced from waste generated by tires, contributes an economic advantage. Besides, the usage of recovered carbon black instead of virgin carbon black lessens carbon footprint by approximately 80%. Most of the major tire manufacturers are predicted to use a substantial amount of recovered carbon black in the coming years. These factors are anticipated to bolster the tire segment during the forecast period.
