Looking ahead to 2030, the white carbon black industry will present three major trends:
Nanoization: Breakthrough in the radial size of gas-phase white carbon black particles below 3 nm, with a specific surface area exceeding 500 m ²/g, used in cutting-edge fields such as quantum dot displays and solid-state electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries.
Composite: White carbon black is combined with graphene and carbon nanotubes to prepare conductive and thermally conductive multifunctional materials that meet the heat dissipation needs of 5G base stations and new energy vehicle batteries. For example, the thermal conductivity of white carbon black/graphene composite material can reach 20 W/m · K, which is 5 times that of a single material.
Intelligence: By optimizing reaction parameters such as temperature, pH value, and stirring speed through AI, precise control of white carbon black particle size and porosity can be achieved, resulting in a 40% increase in production efficiency. Germany's Evonik has built the world's first AI controlled gas-phase white carbon black production line, with product consistency reaching 99.9%.
According to the prediction of China Research Network, the global market size of white carbon black will reach 35 billion US dollars in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.2%, of which the Asia Pacific region accounts for over 55%, becoming the core engine of industry growth.
