The global masterbatch market is likely to showcase a growth of around 5% during the forecast period. Nowadays, consumers are increasingly conscious of the products they buy and the value they get. Products that are reliable and durable naturally attract more attention. And most products, whether it is the cars, the packaging, the houses, the gadgets, and even healthcare, consumers use plastics in some form or the other for their various characteristics. A masterbatch is one of the most crucial elements in creating quality plastics. It consists of pigments and additives that help in providing the required color and properties to the end products. As between 2010-2020, the production of plastics increased nearly by 100 million tons from 270 million tons in 2010 to 367 million tons in 2020. This rise in plastic production owing to increasing use in packaging, automotive components, and consumer goods, to name a few, is constantly maintaining strong demand for masterbatches. Furthermore, the trend of lowering the weight of the product by replacing metals and other heavy materials with a substitute like plastic in industries like automotive and consumer goods is likely to provide a considerable boost to the masterbatch market.
Based on type, the market is categorized into white, black, color, additive, and filler/combination. Among these, white held the prominent share in the market as white color is one of the most common colors that is widely used across the industries. Applications range from pipes, cables, packaging films to the injection molding of electronic parts, where a high level of gloss properties and excellent dispersion is required. Further, it provides opacity and base color to the plastic used extensively in the food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
Based on end-user, the market is categorized into packaging, building & construction, automotive, consumer goods, agriculture, and others. Among these, packaging accounted for a substantial share of the market and is also likely to showcase robust growth during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the wide use of packaging from the food & beverage industry to pharmaceuticals. Further, increasing demand for packaged food due to convenience and changing lifestyles along with increasing penetration of the e-retail industry is increasing the demand for packaging products, thereby propelling the demand for masterbatch.
