Europe Carbon Black Market Key Takeaways

The Europe carbon black market size reached USD 3,086.3 Million in 2024.
The market is expected to reach USD 4,992.0 Million by 2033.
The market is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 5.21% between 2025 and 2033.
Rising demand from the automotive sector, especially for energy-efficient tires crucial for EVs, is a primary growth driver.
Technological innovations such as low-PAH carbon black and conductive carbon blacks are emerging.
Increased production of green and recycled carbon black is driven by stringent environmental regulations.
Germany currently leads the market due to robust automotive and industrial production.

Market Growth Factors

The European carbon black industry is growing, driven by the automotive industry demand for high performance and low rolling resistance tires for electric vehicles. In 2023, nearly 14% of all cars sold in EU were electric. Sales of battery electric cars grew 37% in 2023, taking a 14.6% share of the market. Vehicle production, a leading consumer of specialty carbon black used in tires, increased by over 11% to reach 12.1 million units.

Innovating in production process and product design is important. European companies have invested considerably in R&D including producing low-PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) carbon black to minimize harmful emissions. Due to improvements in production technologies, Europe is a world leader in developing carbon black products with advanced electrical conductivity, dispersion in polymers and mechanical properties aimed at sustainable applications.

Sustainability drives the market, as the industry invests in green manufacturing processes to comply with EU environmental standards. Green carbon black is manufactured from sustainable, renewable, or recycled feedstock and has less environmental impact. For example, in 2023, Wastefront partnered with Weber & Schaer to distribute rCB across Europe. If regulations become stricter and the market starts favoring sustainable products, sustainability can be a market differentiator.
