Global Capacity Distribution
As of 2023, the total global production capacity of white carbon black is approximately 3.8 million tons, including:
Precipitation method: China accounts for 65% of the market share (such as Quecheng Shares, Jin Sanjiang, etc.);
Gas phase method: Germany's Innolux (30%), the United States' Cabot (20%), China's Hesheng Silicon Industry (15%).
Technology gap analysis
Particle size control: International leading enterprises can achieve D50 ≤ 3 μ m, while domestic mainstream products have a range of 5-8 μ m;
Surface modification: Foreign companies have over 200 types of silane coupling agent formulations, while domestic companies only have over 30 types;
Application development: Multinational corporations' R&D investment accounts for 8%, while domestic enterprises' average is less than 3%.
Breakthrough strategy
Vertical integration: a full chain layout from quartz sand mining to silane coupling agent production, reducing costs by 20%;
Customized services: Develop specialized products for emerging fields such as new energy vehicles and photovoltaics, with a 30% increase in premium capacity;
International mergers and acquisitions: quickly obtain high-end market access qualifications by acquiring overseas technology-based companies (such as some businesses of German Degussa).
