Carbon black market analysis on December 19

1. Carbon black market analysis

Today, the price of carbon black in China is stable. As of now, the mainstream price of N330 in the carbon black market is 8,000 - 9,000 yuan/ton.

Cost: Today, China's high-temperature coal tar market is operating steadily. The problem of difficulties in transporting raw materials caused by snowfall in the north has gradually eased, but sales of coal tar asphalt, the main downstream product, are still not smooth. Procurement of coal tar is still mainly on an on-demand basis. The coal tar market remains weak and has a negative impact on the cost of carbon black. Support is poor.

Supply: At present, the overall start-up of the carbon black industry is stable and the supply is relatively sufficient. It is expected that the overall start-up of the carbon black industry will fluctuate within a narrow range in the short term.

On the demand side: Pressure on the domestic market in the tire industry has increased. Some companies have adopted certain preferential policies, but the performance of actual orders is average, and more companies maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

It is expected that the carbon black market will operate steadily in the short term.
