03 Analysis of Factors Affecting the Carbon Black Market
1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar prices in Shandong were 4000 yuan/ton; in Shanxi, 4230 yuan/ton; and in Hebei, 4030 yuan/ton. The upward trend in the domestic high-temperature coal tar market is becoming clearer, with strong positive factors, and the market is returning to a positive trend.
2. Carbon Black Supply: The operating rate of sample enterprises in the domestic carbon black market has increased slightly. A large factory in East China and some smaller factories are under maintenance, while some large factories are adjusting production lines. Recently, the market operating rate has not fluctuated significantly.
3. Downstream Demand: It is understood that some semi-steel tire manufacturers that underwent maintenance during the Dragon Boat Festival are gradually resuming production, while a few others remain under maintenance. The overall capacity utilization rate of the industry has seen limited improvement. Currently, domestic market sales are slow, while some overseas regions still provide some support, and domestic sales pressure remains.
04. Market Outlook
As of now, the increased price of new orders in the raw material coal tar market has strengthened the positive support for the carbon black market, leading to improved quoted prices. However, the higher carbon black prices have resulted in significant downstream resistance. In the current market negotiation and bargaining, some downstream purchase orders have increased, and it is expected that new orders will mainly be negotiated with prices held firm.
