Carbon Black for Textile Fibers Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

The incomplete combustion of petroleum compounds such as ethylene cracking tar, FCC tar, coal tar, and vegetable matter produces carbon black. Carbon black is a polycrystalline carbon with a high surface-area-to-volume ratio. It differs from ash because it has a significantly larger surface-area-to-volume ratio and comprises far fewer polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Carbon black is mostly used in the textile industry as a coloring agent. It imparts long-lasting, deep black color and a bluish undertone to textile products.

Carbon Black for Textile Fibers Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing demand for carbon black in military textiles

Carbon black has been widely accepted in military textiles because of its unique characteristics to improve serviceability, color requirements, and lessening infrared radiation criteria. This trend is expected to augment the demand for carbon black in the textile fibers market, which will likely propel the market's growth over the forecast period.

• Growing usage of polyester textile fibers in the textile industry

Polyester textile fibers are the major product segment for the carbon black for textile fibers market. The increasing use of polyester textile fibers because of their abrasion resistance, durability, and thermal resistance properties is expected to drive the growth of the carbon black for textile fibers market in upcoming years.

Opportunities

• Increasing development of recycled and bio-based carbon black

The expansion of recycled and bio-based carbon black because of increasing environmental concerns is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities to the carbon black for textile fibers market. For instance, Orion Engineered Carbons, a global supplier of high-performance and specialty carbon black announced the launch of a new product named Ecorax Nature in 2021. It is specially developed by using industrial-grade, plant-based oils.

• Growing demand for synthetic textiles

Growing demand for synthetic textiles further creates ample opportunities for the carbon black for textile fibers market growth. Carbon black is highly used in the production of synthetic textiles. Furthermore, key players are heavily involved in producing synthetic fiber, likely augmenting the market's growth. For instance, synthetic yarn manufacturer Filatex India announced its plan in 2019 to increase its capacity by 300 tons to 1,050 tons daily with an investment of Rs 275 crore.

Restraints/ Challenges

• Increasing concern regarding human health

The incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons such as ethylene cracking tar, petroleum oil, coal tar, and natural gas produces carbon black. A study by International Agency for Research on Cancer has identified that carbon black is a possible human carcinogen. Hence, increasing concern regarding human health is expected to hamper the growth of carbon black for textile fibers market.

• Fluctuating prices of raw materials

The price of carbon black mostly depends on a limited number of raw ingredients. In the coming years, the price variation of raw materials such as crude oil can potentially impact the carbon black product's pricing. As a result of the high price of raw material, the demand for carbon black for textile fibers decreases, likely hampering the market growth.
