Masterbatch Market: Growth Drivers

Masterbatch is a liquid or solid additive that is used to enhance or color the existing properties of different polymers, such as antilocking, antistatic, and UV stabilization. Masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of pigments or additives that is cooled into a granular resin after a heat process. During the manufacturing process, masterbatch allows the processor to color any raw polymer economically.

The global masterbatch market is projected to witness notable growth in the upcoming years, owing to its growing usage in the building and construction industry and flourishing packaging industry across the globe. The rising use of plastics in the automotive sector to produce lightweight vehicles and improve fuel efficiency is further estimated to fuel the masterbatch market growth globally. However, the stringent environmental regulations regarding the non-biodegradability of plastics may hamper the masterbatch market growth. Conversely, the emerging applications of masterbatch in several industries are expected to boost this market in the upcoming years.
