The Impact of Sustainability on Carbon Black to 2044

A comprehensive update on sustainable carbon black technology, benchmarking the four leading developments in the industry. The report examines the tire industry’s use of sustainable carbon blacks from end-of-life tires (ELTs), and how that affects both the tire and carbon black industry’s efforts to be net zero by 2050.

Table of Contents Key Facts and Figures
  • The total sustainable carbon black market in 2023 is estimated at 117ktpa and projected to be more than 1 million tonnes in 2033
  • Less than 1% of all carbon black used today in new tire production globally is sustainable carbon black, by 2033 up to 7% usage is anticipated
One billion end-of-life tires (ELTs) are generated each year, and 68% of the 210+ raw materials in tires are fossil-based, including carbon black, the main reinforcing material in tires. The carbon black and tire industries face daunting challenges in coming years to develop products that truly fit the circular economy’s development, meet sustainability requirements, and reduce CO2 emissions on the way to net zero by 2050.

Definition
This report provides a comprehensive update on sustainable carbon black technology, and benchmarks the four leading developments in sustainable carbon blacks (methane, recovered, renewable and circular carbon blacks), as well as competing alternative sustainable tire fillers. With 74% of the global carbon black market used in tires (PCR, LTR, TBR and OTR), the report is primarily focused on the tire industry’s use of sustainable carbon blacks from end-of-life tires (ELTs), and how that affects both the tire and carbon black industries' efforts to be net zero by 2050.

Key Questions
  • How has the industry for sustainable carbon black progressed in recent years?
  • What factors are disrupting raw material supply chains for natural rubber and carbon black?
  • What are the future market dynamics and regulatory outlook for sustainable carbon black to 2044?
  • Who are the market leaders in traditional and sustainable carbon black production?
  • What are the key challenges and opportunities for carbon black producers over the next two decades?
