Carbon Black Prices, Trends & Forecasts | Provided by Procurement Resource

During the first half of 2023, the carbon black market experienced distinct trends in Asia, Europe, and North America. In Asia, slow demands and reduced upstream costs led to bearish sentiments, but prices picked up in the latter half of the second quarter due to depleted inventories and increased downstream sector demands. Europe observed fluctuating prices, mostly low in the first quarter with high stocks and steady demand, rising in the second quarter driven by higher downstream demands and declining inventories. North America faced sluggish demand, but recovery signs emerged in late Q2 as demands picked up.
