However, downstream tire and rubber products industries of carbon black have high rate of operation and high demand, and the situation that the carbon black enterprises operate with full load but still fall short of demand occurs, which makes the enterprises enhance their bargaining ability and sharply improve their profit status.
Meanwhile, affected by factors such as increased demand of downstream high-quality products, national supply side reform and severe environmental protection regulations, the survival space of the small carbon black production enterprises outdated in technology is squeezed, which accelerates the integration and clearing of outdated capacity, the concentration of carbon black market is further improved, large-scale carbon black enterprises also obtain more market share, and the carbon black operation conditions will also continue to be better.
Ding Liping, secretary general of CRIA Carbon Black Branch, expressed to the journalists that in 2017, carbon black industry was in good operation conditions and the downstream demand constantly increased, it seemed that we had greeted the spring of carbon black industry, however, the enterprises should still keep awake and reasonably and appropriately control the capacity growth to make supply and demand keep relative stable, and should take the market demand as the orientation, pay attention to the demand of green tire for carbon black quality and application field of non-tire carbon black products, gradually accumulate and constantly improve the core technologies, seek for developing featured products to increase economic bene ts, promote upgrading of industrial structure and establish orderly market competition environment.
