Executive Summary

(Note: The following summary is based on the situation in 2008 and maybe different to what it is nowadays. Please be noted).

- Production & producers

There were xxxx active carbon black manufacturers up to May, 2008, including xxxx rubber carbon black enterprises and xxxx special carbon black enterprises. In general, Chinese carbon black producers are large in quantity, but small in single production capacity.

By 2007, there were xxxx foreign and Taiwan/Hong Kong invested carbon black companies in China, whose production capacity constituted xxxx % of the total in China. The top xxxx are Shanghai Cabot, China Rubber (Maanshan), Qingdao Degussa and CCBI. Their total production capacity was xxxx kt/a in 2007, accounting for about xxxx % of the total production capacity in China.

Chinese carbon black output in 2006 and 2007 reached xxxx kt and xxxx kt respectively. It indicates that Chinese carbon black production increased greatly in 2007 over the previous year, with the fast development of the downstream industries. By May 2008, the carbon black production capacity of China has reached as high as xxxx kt/a, xxxx kt/a higher than that of 2007.

Factors influencing carbon black production in China can be listed briefly as: raw material supply, consumption, technology developments and government policies.

Currently, the biggest problem of Chinese carbon black production, which is also the biggest characteristic of Chinese carbon black industry, is the tensional supply of raw material tars. All the three main raw materials are facing heavy shortage in Chinese carbon black industry. The price of coal tar in 2007 went on increasing due to the price increase of international crude oil. This made many Chinese carbon black producers shut down their production.

The problems of carbon black production can be listed briefly as: enterprise size, laggard processing technology, high production cost, waste gas utilization and environment protection.

- Technology

Currently, the xxxx kt/a wet method carbon black process is relatively mature in China, as well as corresponding equipments. Besides, the xxxx kt/a wet method carbon black production line have also been put into use by some large carbon black manufacturers. The production capacity of single furnace have been improving, while saving energy and protecting the environments.

China Rubber Group Carbon Black R&D Institute (CCBI) and Tianjin Dolphin Carbon Black Co., Ltd. (the former Tianjin Carbon Black Factory) contributed most to Chinese carbon black technology developments.

- Import & Export

During 2002~2003, Chinese carbon black import increased greatly, due to mainly the overproduction of Asian carbon black and the keeping strong of RMB. After 2003, Chinese carbon black import began to shrink, while the export started to grow quickly.

In 2007, the import volume of carbon black in China decreased to xxxx t with price increasing from USD xxxx /t to USD xxxx /t, much higher than that in 2004, while the export volume increased to xxxx t with price increasing from USD xxxx /t to USD xxxx /t. The gap between the prices of imported carbon black and domestic carbon black was smaller than before.

- Consumption

Carbon black is mostly consumed in rubber industry, plastic industry, coating industry, inks industry, battery industry and some other special areas. Total apparent consumption of carbon black in China was about xxxx kt in 2006 and xxxx kt in 2007 respectively, greatly higher than that of 2005. This was mainly driven by the booming of the Chinese tyre industry and car industry. More than 85.00% carbon black is consumed in rubber industry in recent years.

Key factors influencing the consumption of carbon black can be listed as: growth of GDP, development of car industry, development of roads system, development of Chinese international trade, price, and government policies.

- Price

Chinese prices of carbon black have been in big differences at the same time in recent years, although large producers such as Tianjin Dolphin have been stable comparatively. In 2007, the mainstream prices of carbon black increased to RMB xxxx～xxxx /t, driven by the short supply and the price increase of the raw materials.

- Forecast

By anticipation, Chinese carbon black industry will achieve following in 2012:

It is estimated that the output of carbon black will be up to xxxx kt/a with the CAGR of xxxx % from 2008 to 2012. This was mainly due to the rapid expansion of carbon black production capacity in China.

It is anticipated that the consumption of carbon black will reach xxxx kt/a with CAGR of xxxx % from 2008 to 2012. The fast increasing tyre industry and car industry will play an important role and consume most carbon black.

There will less and less import of carbon black and the export of carbon black will grow quickly. And it is estimated that the import and export of carbon black will be about xxxx kt/a and xxxx kt/a by the year of 2012.
