04 Market Outlook

As of now, the carbon black market is in a phase of rapid price surging. New order prices for raw material coal tar have risen noticeably, and continuously climbing production costs have pushed carbon black new order quotations passively higher. However, downstream enterprises generally have limited acceptance of high-priced goods, the procurement pace has slowed, and market trading pressure has increased to some extent. Nevertheless, with strong cost support, carbon black manufacturers remain firm in their price-holding intentions, and the short-term trend of pushing prices to high levels is expected to continue.
