At the end of July, news from the Tianjin Chemical Industry Zone announced that the international carbon black giant Cabot has officially started to expand its carbon black plant in the area. The expansion project will cost US$65 million, adding two carbon black production lines and the world’s The state-of-the-art exhaust gas desulfurization and environmental protection device will increase the annual carbon black production capacity of the Tianjin plant to 260,000 to 290,000 tons, becoming the largest carbon black plant in the world. According to statistics released by the China Rubber Industry Association at the end of August, the total output of 38 carbon black enterprises in the country in the first half of this year was 771,100 tons, an increase of 27.34% over the same period of last year; total sales were 775,100 tons, an increase of 27.83% over the same period; sales revenue was 4.27 billion. Yuan, a year-on-year increase of 24.72%. This shows that the carbon black industry is in a period of vigorous development in our country.
Tire growth catalyst for the development of carbon black
At present, the rapid development of China's automobile industry is already the second largest automobile production and sales country in the world. The rapid development of the automobile industry has also led to the development of the tire industry. China has now become the world's largest tire producer, while carbon black is used in tire production. The second largest raw material, also fully benefit from the development of the tire industry, tire industry has played a catalyst for the development of the carbon black industry. On the one hand, radial tires are key tire products that have been promoted by the country in recent years. On August 28th this year, the China Rubber Industry Association specially held a launching conference for passenger car radial tire brands in Beijing and promoted six domestic passenger vehicles to the society. Strong tire brand. On the basis of the development of radial tires, the development of low-rolling resistance carbon black required for energy-saving and environmental-friendly green tires will be the focus that domestic companies need to overcome. On the other hand, in order to cater to the rapid development of the tire industry, domestic carbon black companies should seize the opportunity to make a fuss about the large-scale and advanced equipment, carry out the development of new reactors, and make effective improvements in comprehensive utilization.
The challenge is coming. The domestic expects carbon black oligarchs.
With the increase in demand for carbon black in the domestic market, many investors have already focused their attention on the carbon black industry. According to statistics, in addition to the Cabot Tianjin plant just mentioned, Japan's Donghai Carbon Corporation also plans to expand carbon black production capacity to 100,000 tons/year; Degussa plans to establish a carbon black joint venture in Shandong to build a Ton/year production line; Double Star will be completed in 3 phases in 5 years to build 100,000 tons of carbon black project per year; and domestic carbon black leader Black Cat Black Co., Ltd. will continue to expand production capacity, and plans to add 105,000 tons in 2008 The annual production capacity will bring the total production capacity to 300,000 tons/year. This means that the domestic carbon black industry will face overcapacity and fierce competition in recent years.
The carbon black industry is an oligopolistic industry. The concentration of carbon black industry in the world is relatively high. The carbon black production capacity of the top three multinational companies including Cabot, Degussa and Columbia accounts for about 47% of the world's total production capacity. The production capacity of large carbon black production enterprises accounted for 62.8% of the world's total production capacity. In contrast, with the consolidation of the tire industry and the suppression of small coking, the integration of China's carbon black industry is also a general trend. Accelerating industry consolidation, cultivating domestic carbon black oligarchs and realizing economies of scale will be a long-term way for China's carbon black industry to increase its international competitiveness and maintain its sustained development.
Prepare for danger in times of peace, seek ways to improve the company
The development of the carbon black industry is affected by the tire industry on the one hand. A large part of tires produced in China are currently used for export, but the future of tire exports remains to be seen. At present, first, the price of rubber and other raw materials rises, and tire production costs continue to rise. Second, anti-dumping investigations have come one after another, and they have begun to encounter intellectual property barriers. Some countries have set more stringent import technology standards. In short, tire export trade barriers are increasing. Just on August 20 this year, the US International Trade Commission had just proposed anti-dumping and countervailing sanctions on non-road tires exported by China. Although the Chinese side will conduct defense without damage, it will also affect the export of tires and affect the tires. The output will eventually affect the carbon black industry.
On the other hand, raw material oil is a key factor in determining the profitability of the carbon black industry. The price of raw material oil directly affects the profitability of the industry. Due to rising international crude oil prices, shortage of domestic fuel oil, limited production of coke, and rapid expansion of coal tar processing capacity, domestic carbon black raw material oil supply is tight, resulting in higher costs for manufacturers. At present, related companies have begun to reduce the cost of carbon black through technological transformation. For example, the Hancheng Black Cat of Black Cat Holding Co., Ltd. took advantage of the abundant gas resources in the production area to carry out the technical transformation of “oil to gas” for the carbon black production line. The gas from the related party Shaanxi Black Cat Coking Co., Ltd. was carbon black. Production heating will reduce the unit consumption of raw material oil from 1.97 tons to 1.64 tons, and will save about 30 million yuan in one year, which will reduce the negative impact on the company caused by rising raw material oil prices.
According to the forecast of the United States Friedonia Consulting, the world's carbon black demand will increase at a rate of 4.2% per year. Last year, the global carbon black plant operating rate was as high as 93%, and by 2011 it will reach 11 million tons. It is estimated that carbon in the Asia Pacific region Black demand will grow fastest. However, with the increasingly fierce market competition among domestic tire companies, domestic carbon black companies must accelerate integration, increase scale, and reduce costs if they want to gain a foothold. Therefore, it is expected that the carbon black market in the future will enter the era of oligopoly with both economies of scale and efficiency!
