03 Carbon Black Market Impact Analysis
1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar prices in Shandong are 3,450 yuan/ton; 3,400 yuan/ton in Shanxi; and 3,465 yuan/ton in Hebei. The domestic high-temperature coal tar market remains on the sidelines, with limited new orders.
2. Carbon Black Supply: Carbon black manufacturers are experiencing a decline in operating rates. Some manufacturers in Shandong and Shanxi have halted operations for maintenance, while those previously undergoing maintenance have not yet resumed operations, leading to a decline in market operating rates this week.
3. Downstream Demand: Tire manufacturers are currently operating steadily. As production capacity has returned to normal levels following maintenance and reduced production, output is gradually increasing. Out-of-stock specifications are being replenished compared to previous periods. Recent shipments have been average, with inventory reductions slowing.
Market Forecast for April
Currently, improvements in costs are supporting expectations, and carbon black manufacturers are primarily interested in maintaining prices. However, there has been no significant improvement in demand from the end-user tire industry. Weak demand is putting some pressure on raw materials, and firm orders are still under negotiation. In the short term, the carbon black market is generally stable.
