Global Masterbatch Market- Overview

Masterbatch is a solid or liquid additive added to plastics for coloring purposes or imposing other properties, such as antimicrobial features. A liquid masterbatch is a mixture of coloring agents or pigments that can color polymers or provide other desired properties. They come in black, white and different colors. Many end-user industries use masterbatches for their fire retardant, UV stabilized, anti-locking, and antistatic characteristics. A masterbatch improves the performance and quality of plastic and packaging materials.

Global Masterbatch Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Shift from Metallic to Plastic Automobile Bodies

As plastics replace metal in the manufacturing of automobile bodies, the global masterbatch market is experiencing significant growth. The increasing production and penetration of electric vehicles are also contributing to the growing demand for masterbatches. Plastics are frequently used for manufacturing various crucial automotive components such as airbags, seat belts, bumpers, dashboards, etc., as it is lightweight and thus consumes less energy or fuel. Thus, the growing automobile industry is significantly propelling the global masterbatch market, especially in emerging economies.

Innovations in Masterbatch Production

The increasing demand for masterbatches in the market encourages manufacturers to adopt innovative technologies and expand their production. For instance, the emergence of color liquid compounding technologies has enabled formulators to produce masterbatches with unique color precision ranging from dark shades to vibrant hues only in a few easy steps. The color masterbatches produced through this technology offer cost-effectiveness along with high color precision. Such innovations are expected to expand its application in the end-user industries, driving its market growth.

Restraints

Growing Adoption of Sustainable and Environment-Friendly Materials

Increasing awareness of environmental issues and sustainable development is expected to impact demand for masterbatch negatively. Several countries are imposing a complete ban on plastic manufacturing and its products to eradicate single-use plastics from their respective countries completely. Masterbatches are extremely harmful to the environment as they are used with recycled and non-biodegradable plastics. Consequently, the government is imposing stringent regulations regarding plastic use, which threatens the market's growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Masterbatch Market

Global masterbatch sales have been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the huge increase in the number of COVID-19 cases beyond the control of the healthcare system, several countries imposed complete lockdowns that halted all economic activities. Due to this, the manufacturing and production activities were restricted, resulting in a complete decline in masterbatch demand, which resulted in severe market losses. However, it is expected that the market will recover in the post-COVID-19 period as end-user industries resume business activities.

Global Masterbatch Market - By Type

Based on types, the global masterbatch market is segmented into color masterbatch, additive masterbatch, white masterbatch, black masterbatch, and filler masterbatch. The color masterbatch segment accounts for the largest market share as manufacturers prominently use them to color raw polymer economically during the plastics manufacturing process. They are often preferred over other types for their maximum capacity and processing ease. The additive masterbatch segment is also expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period.

Global Masterbatch Market - By Polymer

Based on polymers, the global masterbatch market is segmented into polypropylene (PP), low-density polyethylene & linear low-density polyethylene (LDPE & LLDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PUR), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), and others. Polyethylene holds the largest market share due to its availability in various forms, such as high-density, low-density, linear density polyethylene, etc., that are used for applications such as construction, automotive, packaging, etc. The polypropylene (PP) segment is estimated to gain significant traction during the forecast period.

Global Masterbatch Market - By Application

Based on applications, the global masterbatch market is segmented into packaging, textile, building & construction, agriculture, consumer goods, automotive, and others. The packaging segment accounts for the largest market share as the manufacturers of consumer goods significantly focus on attractive and colorful plastic packaging to attract customers and keep the price in control. Additionally, the automotive segment holds a significant share of the market, as automobile manufacturers are switching from metal bodies to plastic ones since the latter is lighter and has a more attractive appearance.

Global Masterbatch Market - Regional Insights

Geographically, the global masterbatch market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle-East & Africa. A flourishing automotive industry and consumer goods manufacturing industry contributes to the dominance of the Asia-Pacific region in this market. Several emerging economies such as China and India are experiencing lucrative growth in the demand for low-cost polymers because of the increasing construction projects for infrastructural development activities. Moreover, the expansion of manufacturing and packaging in Asia-Pacific is also fueling masterbatch market growth.
