UK Carbon Black Market Trends and Drivers

Market Growth Projections: Carbon black demand in UK is majorly driven by stringent standards for tire and vehicle manufacturing, leading to an increased demand for high-performing carbon black. More regulations supported the demand of specialty-grade carbon blacks. These blacks are used for durability, conductivity, and environmental compliance. It is particularly common within automotive and industrial applications.

SSH Recycling plans to build a tire recycling plant in Linwood, Glasgow. The approval happened in December 2024. The opening should happen in 2027. Each year the plant will process 100,000 tons of waste tires by using carbon negative technology. This avoids 2.7 tons of CO₂ emissions for every ton of waste treated. This couples with a focus for lower-emission production and uses recycled feedstock in production. This is an opportunity to grow demand for low-carbon carbon black.

Carbon black sees use to produce plastics. Carbon black sees use to produce paints. Carbon black sees use to produce inks. High-grade forms are used by plastic processors for evenly dispersing pigments and preventing UV degradation. Coatings need weather resistance and gloss retention, especially for transport fleets and coastal structures. Printing inks require controlled particle morphology to enable high-speed printing processes. Material efficiency policies supporting these uses provide long-term market momentum to those sectors.
