There is no good in the market. Downstream factories still purchase coal tar mainly on demand. The coal tar market remains weak and provides poor support for carbon black costs.

Supply: Today, the overall operating rate of carbon black enterprises is relatively stable, and the overall supply of carbon black market is relatively sufficient.

On the demand side: Heavy snow weather further weakens the demand for terminal replacement. Long-term inventories in the all-steel tire replacement market have accumulated, and merchants are not motivated to replenish goods.
