The upstream of coal tar is the coal industry, and the midstream is the coal tar processing (phenol, pitch, carbon black, etc.) industry; the processed products are important basic materials for metallurgy, chemical industry, medicine, rubber, textile, building materials and transportation industries.

1. Industry Development Status

1. Tar industry chain

The upstream of coal tar is the coal industry, and the midstream is the coal tar processing (phenol, pitch, carbon black, etc.) industry; the processed products are important basic materials for industries such as metallurgy, chemical industry, medicine, rubber, textile, building materials and transportation.

2. Coal tar production capacity

In terms of production capacity, my country's coal tar production capacity is on the rise as a whole, among which high-temperature coal tar production capacity accounts for the highest proportion. In 2020, China's coal tar industry will achieve a production capacity of approximately 36.77 million tons, of which: high-temperature coal tar production capacity is 26.27 million tons, compared with the previous year. Basically the same; the production capacity of medium-temperature coal tar is 10.5 million tons.

3. Price trend

Coal tar processed products are important basic materials in industries such as metallurgy, chemical industry, medicine, rubber, light textile, building materials and transportation. With the rapid development of economy and technology in recent years, the coal tar processing industry has entered a new historical development stage, and new technologies, new products and new applications have been continuously developed and promoted, so that coal tar processing products have broad market development prospects . In 2021, China's coal tar production price will rise to 4,476 yuan/ton, an increase of 1,651 yuan/ton compared with 2020.

2. Development direction of coal tar processing technology

At present, there are many projects related to coal tar in my country, and the types and quantities of processed products have both increased. However, the production and processing of coal tar is relatively scattered, lack of deep processing, and there are problems of backward processing technology, environmental pollution and waste of a lot of resources.
