Carbon Black Market Hits USD 23.17 billion by 2035 on Specialty & Sustainable Drive
Carbon Black Market
Growth fueled by EV batteries, recovered carbon, and specialty applications; US leads at 76% North America share, China fastest-growing at 5.2% CAGR
NEWARK, DE, UNITED STATES, November 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global carbon black market is projected to expand from USD 14.50 billion in 2025 to USD 23.17 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 4.8%. Growth is being driven by the rise of electric vehicles, the scaling of specialty-grade applications in inks, coatings, and plastics, and the increasing adoption of recovered carbon black (rCB) for sustainable tire production. The United States remains the largest national market, while China is set to lead growth globally. Tightening emissions regulations and OEM demand for low-rolling-resistance tires are reshaping production priorities across the industry.
The market is pivoting toward high-performance, low-footprint carbon black, where ultra-pure acetylene black for batteries and rCB for circular economy initiatives are gaining traction. Specialty grades now command higher margins, and sustainability-linked innovations are moving from pilot to commercial scale. For manufacturers and material suppliers, the shift represents both a premium opportunity and a compliance imperative.
