Highlights at a glance

This market report examines the current state of the carbon black industry, highlighting price stability with an index of 6714.25 as of February 10. The analysis covers three key areas: upstream raw material trends showing regional coal tar prices (3760-3700 yuan/ton) with potential short-term declines; carbon black supply adjustments where some large factories resumed operations while others face low rates due to demand reduction; and downstream demand weakening as all-steel tire manufacturers enter Spring Festival holidays, reducing production and shipments. With logistics slowing and inventories remaining ample, the market outlook suggests continued stagnation due to declining costs, reduced purchasing enthusiasm, and holiday-related operational pauses. The report provides essential insights for chemical industry stakeholders monitoring supply chain dynamics and market consolidation.

03 Analysis of the Impact on the Carbon Black Market

1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar prices in Shandong were 3760 yuan/ton; in Shanxi, 3650 yuan/ton; and in Hebei, 3700 yuan/ton. The domestic high-temperature coal tar market is currently stable with a wait-and-see attitude, but a certain degree of decline is still possible in the short term.

2. Carbon Black Supply: The operating rates of sample carbon black enterprises have been adjusted slightly. Some large factories have resumed normal operations after previous line reductions and maintenance. Some enterprises are affected by declining demand, resulting in low operating rates. Overall, the operating rate of the carbon black market is not fluctuating significantly and remains at a low level.

3. Downstream Demand: It is understood that most all-steel tire manufacturers in major producing areas are currently in the final stages of production. After production ends today, they will enter the Spring Festival holiday period, further weakening all-steel tire production. Currently, logistics operations have been suspended in some areas, slowing shipments. A few companies are managing to move small quantities of stock, but most have relatively ample overall inventory.

04 Market Outlook

As of now, no new orders for raw material coal tar have been released before the holiday. Costs are trending downwards, negatively impacting market negotiations. Downstream tire companies are gradually reducing their operating rates and entering holiday mode as the Spring Festival approaches, resulting in low purchasing enthusiasm and a subdued trading atmosphere. The carbon black market is expected to remain stagnant and consolidate.
