P r o d u c t O v e r v i e w

Masterbatches are concentrated mixtures of pigments and additives, used for coloring and imparting specific

properties to polymers. They are prepared by encapsulating pigments in carrier resins, which are then cut into

granular shape or kept in liquid state (liquid masterbatch), and later processed with base polymer. Based on

their use and appearance, masterbatches are classified into four major types- black, white, color and additive,

which are used for diverse applications:

•Black colored plastic additives are used in automotive (tyres), construction (pipes and

tubes), packaging (black colored disposable bags) and other consumer goods industries

(laptops, furniture, etc.).

Black

•White colored plastic additives are used in packaging industry (milk pouches), and

consumer goods industry (furniture, toys, containers, etc.).White

•Plastic additives of various colors are used in the production of consumer goods

(buckets, brushers, etc.), electronics (TV washing machines, etc.), packaging (customer

specific attractive packaging), for construction work (pipes and floor covering), and in

automotive industry (car interiors such as steering wheel and dashboard).

Color

Additive•Additives are added to plastic for modifying certain properties for the development of

specific products such as flame retardants, UV resistant plastic, corrosion inhibitors, and

antimicrobial & antioxidant plastic products.

Baseline Methodology:

For the study, TechSci Research has gathered information through primary research with respondents in

manufacturing companies across the globe, followed by external validation of the information. We also gathered

insights through exhaustive search of credible paid databases and our internal database. Our team of analysts

has then prudently evaluated all the collected information and presented it in chronological order to depict a

meaningful and comprehensible picture of Global masterbatch market.

While compiling the data, we have also validated all the collected information from multiple sources and data

warehouses, in order to present accurate and precise information of the concerned industry. The same

information has then been verified through primary research surveys with competitors to arrive at logical figures.

Masterbatch Market to Cross $ 16 Billion Revenues in 2016

Growing construction and automotive sectors coupled with expanding packaging industry to augment masterbatchdemand.

According to recently published TechSci Research report, “Global Masterbatch Market By Type, By End User, ByRegion, Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2011 - 2021”, global masterbatch market size is estimated tocross $ 16 billion in 2016. Growth in the market is anticipated on account of continuously increasing demand frommajor end use industries, such as packaging, food processing, building & construction, and automotive industries.Moreover, masterbatch consumption in packaging has increased significantly across the globe over the last fiveyears due to rising popularity of small pack sizes, expanding sales and distribution network of plastic processorsand plastic products, as well as growing use of flexible packaging market.

Based on their use and appearance, masterbatches are classified into four major types, namely, black, white, colorand additive masterbatches, which are used in diverse industry applications. Out of these categories, whitemasterbatch dominated the global masterbatch market in 2015. The segment is forecast to maintain its dominanceduring 2016 - 2021 as well, on account of increasing use of white masterbatch for imparting opacity and base colorto plastics used extensively in food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Region-wise, Asia-Pacific accountedfor the largest share in the global masterbatch market in 2015 due to growing demand for innovative andattractively packaged food items in the region.

“In the initial years of reported growth, the global masterbatch market was majorly dominated by the Europeanregion, however due to the impact of Eurozone economic crisis, the European masterbatch market has beengrowing at a sluggish pace since 2008. Consequently, Asia-Pacific has emerged as the largest masterbatch market,with demand for masterbatch majorly being driven by China and India over the last few years.”, said Mr. KaranChechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research based global management consulting firm.
