Turkey Carbon Black Market

Turkey Carbon Black Market Overview:

The Turkey carbon black market size reached USD 232.70 Million in 2024. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach USD 366.95 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.66% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by Turkey’s automotive strength, plastic processing capabilities, and expanding industrial coatings sector. Growing demand from construction and packaging further accelerates adoption of specialty grades. With Turkey playing a pivotal role in regional exports and EV manufacturing, demand for high-performance formulations is steadily increasing, further augmenting the Turkey carbon black market share.

Turkey Carbon Black Market Trends:

Strategic Growth in Automotive and Tire Manufacturing

Turkey’s role as a manufacturing hub for automotive OEMs and aftermarket parts continues to intensify carbon black demand, especially in tire and technical rubber applications. With major automakers like Ford Otosan, TOFAŞ, and Hyundai using Turkey as a regional production base, the country sustains robust consumption of carbon black in tires, seals, hoses, and under-hood rubber parts. Turkey imported 174,799 tire shipments in the latest period, sourced by 1,531 Turkish importers from 2,198 suppliers, with Germany (30,090 shipments), Poland (28,422), and Hungary (22,789) as the top suppliers. Additionally, Turkey exported 2,290 tire shipments, reflecting its active domestic tire industry. Local tire manufacturers such as Brisa, Petlas, and Goodyear Turkey produce a broad spectrum of tires ranging from passenger vehicles to agricultural equipment, all of which depend on carbon black for tensile strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability. The Turkish government’s strategic incentives to expand domestic electric vehicle production further contribute to new demand for high-durability rubber compounds and specialized formulations suited for EV tires and lightweight components. The Turkey carbon black market growth is anchored in a resilient automotive base, bolstered by regional exports and production diversification.

Expansion in Plastics Processing and Infrastructure-Grade Applications

Turkey’s plastics industry ranks among the top in Europe, with large-scale production of packaging, pipes, films, and automotive plastics that increasingly utilize carbon black as both pigment and UV stabilizer. The average capacity utilization rate improved from 75.7% in 2023 to 76.1% in 2024. Imports of plastic goods decreased 2.6% to USD 4.07 Billion, while exports, direct and indirect, reached USD 15 Billion. Turkish converters apply carbon black to HDPE pipes, cable jackets, drip irrigation tubing, and geomembranes, products essential to infrastructure, agriculture, and utilities. Demand is also growing in masterbatches for black garbage bags, construction films, and agricultural sheeting, where weather resistance and thermal protection are paramount. As Turkey undertakes major infrastructure projects such as canal works, rail expansion, and smart irrigation systems, the requirement for UV-stabilized and long-lasting plastic components continues to rise. Carbon black’s ability to enhance lifespan, protect against photo-degradation, and provide dimensional stability makes it an indispensable additive across these segments. This widespread use across construction and industrial plastic applications ensures consistent demand for both commodity and specialty grades. The emphasis on locally sourced and value-added processing further strengthens Turkey’s position as a key consumer of carbon black in the broader Middle Eastern and European supply chain.
