1. 2022 Carbon Black price trend carbon black market trend in January
At the end of 2021, carbon black showed a downward trend. Will the price of carbon black continue to decline at the beginning of 2022? What is the price trend of carbon black in 2022?
The main raw materials for carbon black production are coal tar, anthracene oil, ethylene tar and other raw oil. Domestic carbon black manufacturers mainly use coal tar as the raw material for carbon black production, while foreign countries mainly use ethylene tar as the raw material. Today, we look at the upstream coal tar of carbon black:
At the end of 2021, the price of upstream coal tar increased slightly due to the preparation of downstream enterprises. According to the region, the price of Shandong and Heilongjiang increased, while the coal tar Market in Shanxi decreased slightly. At present, the supply of coal tar is still low, the commencement of downstream deep processing industry and carbon black industry is low, and some carbon black based deep processing manufacturers may stop due to the influence of Winter Olympics and Spring Festival, However, on January 4, the auction price of coal tar rose sharply. The latest auction price of coal tar of a manufacturer in Tangshan, Hebei Province was 5010 yuan / ton, which was higher than expected. Friends should pay more attention to today's coal tar auction. The downstream of carbon black is mainly the tire industry, because carbon black can improve the wear resistance of tire tread, which greatly improves the service life of tires. Carbon black is an indispensable raw material in the rubber industry. Today, from the downstream tire market of carbon black:
Downstream: in December, the start-up of the tire market was further weakened, and the replacement market was not good. Winter was the off-season for tire replacement. In addition, the foreign freight was not cost-effective. The wait-and-see atmosphere in the plastic products and Color Masterbatch industry was strong, and most carbon black manufacturers had reached the state of loss. On the whole, Xiaobian believes that the carbon black market continues to show a downward trend in January 2022. At present, the market trend of coal tar, the main raw material of carbon black market, is unknown. In addition, due to the epidemic situation, Spring Festival and Winter Olympics, some carbon black enterprises may reduce production or stop, and tire enterprises are on holiday during the Spring Festival, mainly digesting inventory. On the demand side, carbon black demand is not strong.
