Global Master batch Market Overview:
The global masterbatch is estimated to reach at USD 9.7 billion in 2030 with a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period of 2022-2030, and it was valued at 6.1 billion in 2022.
Masterbatches are resin components or base materials in which fibers or other reinforcing materials disperse reinforced plastic. The continuous phase in a composite material is called a masterbatch or base material. Masterbatch comes in solid and liquid form, which protects the polymer from various harmful radiations while imparting color and strengthening the mechanical properties of plastic for its applications. The basic ingredients used in the masterbatch are pigment, carrier, dispersant, and additives. These ingredients process the plastic for different usages such as producing colorful fibers, clothing, daily plastics, wires and cables, household appliances, agricultural films, automobiles Accessories, health equipment, and other products.
Global Master batch Market Insights
Global masterbatch markets expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2020- 2027. It is owing to the dispersibility in the products, bright colors, no color differences on the surface of the products, convenient color replacement, low cost, environment-friendly, and low labor intensity expected to surge the demand of the masterbatch in the market.
Moreover, the significant masterbatch compositions are pigment, dispersant, a resin that helps in driving the demand for its applications. The Pigments divided into organic pigments and inorganic pigments segment. The organic pigments are phthalocyanine red, phthalocyanine blue, phthalocyanine green, lightfast red, macromolecular red, macromolecular yellow, permanent yellow, permanent purple, and Azo red pigments which commonly used for dyeing the plastic. The inorganic pigments include cadmium red, cadmium yellow, titanium dioxide, carbon black, iron oxide red, iron oxide yellow used for dyeing.
Furthermore, the carrier is the matrix of the masterbatch. The special color masterbatch generally chooses the same resin as the product resin, and the two have the best compatibility, considering the fluidity of the carrier.
The most commonly used dispersants are polyethylene low molecular wax and stearates. The dispersant promotes uniform dispersion of the pigment and no longer aggregates. The melting point of the dispersant should be lower than that of the resin, as it has excellent compatibility with the resin, and have good affinity with the pigment.
Growth Driver
Automobiles replacing metals with plastic
The Masterbatch market has attained substantial growth in the automobile sector as replacement of metals bodies in vehicles with a plastic frame that makes its lightweight and with an increasing need for low carbon emission and fuel-efficient vehicles are driving the demand for the masterbatch market.
Coloring method
Color Masterbatches performs various functions like weather resistance, antistatic function, flame retardant function, and foaming function, etc. A mixture of resin and a large number of pigments (up to 50%) or dyes formulated into a high concentration of color. Therefore, when processing with a small amount of color masterbatch and uncolored resin, the colored resin or product with the designed pigment concentration can be achieved. The advantages of using a color masterbatch in plastic are it causes no environmental pollution, simple coloring, accurate measurement, and easy dispersion. Thus, the demand for color masterbatch estimated to drive the growth of the masterbatch market.
Rising government investments
Due to industrialization, sectors such as building and construction, automotive, consumer goods, have created a lot of demand for the masterbatch. Moreover, the government has started investing in the masterbatch due to its new technology and growth in automobiles and packaging sectors where plastic is highly used by making it eco- friendly, low cost, and low labor requirement for its production.
