Carrier for developing electrostatic charge image, electrostatic charge image developer, process cartridge, image forming apparatus, image forming method, and method for producing carrier for developing electrostatic charge image

Abstract

A carrier for developing an electrostatic charge image includes magnetic particles and a coating layer covering the magnetic particles, the coating layer containing a resin and inorganic particles, containing 20 parts by mass or more and 60 parts by mass or less of the inorganic particles per 100 parts by mass of the resin. The percentage exposure of the magnetic particles on the surface is 0% or more and 5% or less, and, in a cross-sectional observation, either there is no gap between the magnetic particles and the coating layer, or a gap lies at least in part between the magnetic particles and the coating layer, occupying a percentage area of 0% or more and 5% or less.
