Automotive Tire Demand is Sparking the Market to Grow Globally
The growing use of carbon black in the automotive industry, particularly in tire manufacturing, is driving the market's expansion. Since it is used as a reinforcing filler to improve tire longevity, wear resistance, traction, and performance, tires are the application that uses carbon black the most, accounting for a sizable portion of its end-use. The increasing production of electric vehicles (EVs), which typically require higher-performance materials to manage additional weight and torque, such as carbon black, is an indirect factor driving this market's growth even though EVs use lower-performance tires than conventional vehicles.
