Tire Recovered Carbon Black Market Research Report 2024 to 2030 (Status and Outlook)

In Business Insights
June 17, 2025

The global Tire Recovered Carbon Black Market is gaining significant traction as industries increasingly prioritize sustainable alternatives to virgin carbon black. According to recent market analysis, the sector was valued at US$ 461 million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 687 million by 2030, growing at a steady CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. The United States market follows closely, estimated at US$ 136 million in 2024 with expectations to hit US$ 196 million by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 6.3%.

Tire Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) is produced through pyrolysis of end-of-life tires, transforming waste into valuable material for rubber, plastics, and coatings industries. Its adoption aligns with global circular economy initiatives, reducing dependency on traditional carbon black derived from fossil fuels while addressing environmental concerns related to tire disposal.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis

Europe currently leads in rCB adoption, driven by stringent environmental regulations like the EU’s End-of-Life Vehicle Directive and tire recycling mandates. Germany and the Netherlands are pioneering large-scale pyrolysis plants, while Scandinavia focuses on high-quality rCB for specialty applications.

North America shows robust growth potential, particularly in the U.S. where infrastructure developments and state-level tire recycling programs are accelerating. Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific emerges as the fastest-growing region, with China and India investing in pyrolysis technology to manage their substantial tire waste volumes while supporting local manufacturing needs.

Key Market Drivers and Opportunities

The market’s expansion is propelled by three key factors: tight virgin carbon black supply chains, rising sustainability mandates across industries, and technological advancements in pyrolysis processes that enhance rCB quality. Rubber products account for approximately 65% of current rCB usage, while plastics and coatings represent 25% and 10% respectively.

Notable opportunities lie in developing high-value applications such as conductive additives for batteries and specialty polymers. The construction sector’s growing preference for sustainable materials and packaging industries’ shift toward circular solutions present additional avenues for market penetration.

Challenges & Restraints

Despite promising growth, the industry faces hurdles including inconsistent rCB quality across producers, higher processing costs compared to virgin carbon black, and limited awareness among potential end-users. Regulatory complexities around tire-derived products vary significantly by region, creating barriers to standardized global trade.

Recently, industry collaborations have emerged to address these challenges. Major tire manufacturers are forming partnerships with rCB producers to establish quality benchmarks, while research institutions focus on improving pyrolysis yields and material properties.
