03 Analysis of Factors Affecting the Carbon Black Market
1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar prices in Shandong were 4160 yuan/ton; in Shanxi, 4260 yuan/ton; and in Hebei, 4150 yuan/ton. The domestic high-temperature coal tar market has entered a downward trend. Downstream factories remain hesitant to purchase raw materials, and the market is expected to continue its downward trend in the short term.
2. Carbon Black Supply: The operating rate of sample enterprises in the domestic carbon black market has declined. A factory in East China resumed operation after maintenance, and other factories in East China were also undergoing maintenance. While the operating rate in the region has not fluctuated significantly, the recent pressure on carbon black shipments has been substantial, leading some large factories to reduce their operating rates, resulting in a decrease in the market's willingness to operate.
3. Downstream Demand: It is understood that the alternating maintenance schedules of tire manufacturers continue. After maintenance is completed, most companies resume normal production. However, some companies still have maintenance plans in the near future. Overall, the weak supply situation is unlikely to change. Some companies are offering promotional policies, but this has limited impact on the market. Export shipments are still acceptable, providing support for overall factory shipments.
04. Market Outlook
Currently, the decline in raw material prices has had a significant impact. High-level offers have begun to fall, and the operating rate of the downstream tire market has also declined. Purchasing enthusiasm is low, with a strong wait-and-see attitude. The atmosphere for actual transaction negotiations is stagnant, and new carbon black order prices are declining.
