Masterbatch Market

Global Masterbatch Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (White, Black, Color, Additive, Filler), by Polymer (Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polyurethane (PU), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Others), and by Application (Packaging, Automotive, Consumer Goods, Building & Construction, Textile, and Others) Forecast Period (2022-2028)

Published: Nov 2019 | Report Code: OMR2026498 | Category : Plastics and Polymers | Delivery Format: /

The global masterbatch market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period. Masterbatch is a mixture of solid or liquid pigments that are used for coloring and increasing properties of polymers, which include flame retardation, antilocking, stabilizing, and antistatic. It can be used in various technological methods such as spinning, injection, and blow. Rising applications of masterbatch across several industries, such as packaging, agriculture, consumer goods, and automobile, is propelling the growth of global masterbatch market.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Masterbatch Market

All companies were closed and production in industries was temporarily stopped due to COVID-19 and resulted in decline of masterbatch demand. During COVID-19 pandemic masterbatch market witnessed the downfall globally due to shutdown in production and decreased demand of finished products.

Segmental Outlook 

The global masterbatch market is segmented based on the type, polymer, and application. Based on the type, the market is segmented into white, black, color, additive, and filler. Based on the polymer, the market is sub-segmented into Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polyurethane (PU), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Others. Further, on the basis of application, the market is sub-segmented into packaging, automotive, consumer goods, building & construction, textile, and others. Among the application segment is expected to cater considerable growth over the forecast period, owing to the need for packaging across several industries, such as food & beverages, personal care, medical, household, electrical, and automotive. The emerging countries such as India and China are establishing the infrastructure through the utilization of masterbatch in the building and construction application.

The Color Sub-Segment is Expected to Hold Prominent Share in the Global Masterbatch Market

The color segment is expected to project the market growth during the forecast period. This is due to the increasing use of color masterbatch in different applications, such as automotive, packaging, agriculture and textile.Rising demand for black masterbatches in construction industry is also driving the growth of market. For instance, in November 2020, Cabot Corporation announced the launch of PLASBLAK XP6801D black masterbatch, a unique styrene acrylonitrile (SAN)-based formulation that meets the needs of the styrenics market without the usual trade-off between color and mechanical properties. PLASBLAK XP6801D black masterbatch enables excellent color performance, mechanical properties and UV resistance at a lower masterbatch concentration.

Regional Outlooks

The global masterbatch market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East &Africa, and Latin America).  The market can be analyzed for particular region or country level as per the requirement. The increasing demand for polymers that are used to differentiate the products have led to the high demand for masterbatch in European region.

Global Masterbatch Market Growth, by Region 2022-2028

Global Masterbatch Market Growth, by Region

The Asia-Pacific Region is expected to Hold Prominent Share in the Global Masterbatch Market

Asia-Pacific registers a significant share in the global masterbatch market due to the increasing demand for masterbatch in the packaging industry and rises in construction sector in emerging economies of the region, particularly China and India. The extensive use of masterbatch in packaging industry is growing the market in Asia-Pacific region. For instance, in June 2021, Graphene Limited announced the release of a new masterbatch product designed for blending with a range of thermoplastic materials to enhance the mechanical and thermal properties. PureGRAPH MB-LDPE is a graphene-loaded low-density polyethylene (LDPE) masterbatch. It is provided in chip (pelletised) form and utilises First Graphene’s few-layer, high-performing PureGRAPH additives.
