Masterbatch Market Dynamics

Drivers: Widely preferred coloring method

Masterbatch is the most widely used and preferred coloring method adopted by manufacturers over powders, pastes, and fluid additives. Traditional coloring methods (color pigment addition) have several drawbacks, such as low-quality assurance, lower consistency in color from batch-to-batch, low hygiene levels owing to spillage, and excessive dust while dispersing. Masterbatch helps overcome a majority of these shortcomings as it offers convenience, ease of imparting color, and enhances the properties of natural or base polymers. Color masterbatch has benefits over other methods, including process stability, optimum dispersion, reliability, handling of large volumes of powders, and reduced cleaning costs. These advantages of color masterbatch have led to its widespread adoption as the preferred coloring method.

Restraints: Extra storage space, longer lead time, and exposure to heat are a few of its limiting factors

Masterbatch has some disadvantages related to the pellets that require more inventory space than the other dry and liquid colors and takes longer lead time for orders than dry colors. As compared to pure pigment, a color masterbatch is associated with an additional exposure of heat for both carriers and additives. Moreover, the physical properties of masterbatch pellets also change as compare to dry and liquid colors. Masterbatch pellets are often manufactured using resins, which are not similar to the resins used in the final product. Due to the use of dissimilar resins, there might be a possibility of a change in the processing characteristics of these resins. The end users almost always use these dissimilar resins without any technical knowledge..

Opportunities: Growth in emerging economies

The growing industrialization in emerging economies, such as China, India, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, is expected to drive the masterbatch market in the next five years. The high demand from the packaging, building & construction, consumer goods, and automotive applications in these countries increase the need for masterbatch, especially for plastics used in these applications. The presence of government policies supporting the growth of industries, low labor costs, skilled workforce, availability of raw materials, and increasing urbanization have enabled domestic and foreign companies to establish their facilities in these countries. The growth of the manufacturing industry in Malaysia, Vietnam, Colombia, and Chile is also expected to fuel market growth.

Challenges: Non-biodegradability of plastics

Masterbatch that is currently used in recycled plastics is harmful to the environment, as they are mixed with certain additives such as stabilizers, flame retardants, and coloring agents. Recycled plastics are non-biodegradable, imposing a challenge on the manufacturers of plastic products. Moreover, there are certain regulations related to the use of plastics. For instance, Europe has already imposed a ban on single-use of plastics due to wastes and pollution occurring due to plastic recycling. This will impact the use of plastics in high growth applications such as packaging.

Additive masterbatch is the second largest type for masterbatch in 2019”

Additive masterbatch is used to improve the property of polymer to offer better-finished products. Additive masterbatch is segmented into seven sub types, namely, antimicrobial, antioxidant, flame retardant, UV stabilizers, foaming agents, optical brightener, and nucleating agent. Antimicrobial additive masterbatch restrains the growth of microorganisms and enhances freshness & hygiene in the plastic products. Antioxidant additive masterbatch prevents thermal degradation and oxidation at high temperature. It has a wide range of applications such as pipes, BOPP films, tapes, cables, geotextiles, injection & blow molded parts, and rotomolded tanks. Flame retardant additive in plastics helps delaying the ignition time. It is used in end-use industries, namely, building & construction, agriculture, automotive, and packaging. UV stabilizer-based masterbatch is formulated with polymers, such as LDPE, LLDPE, and HDPE, to provide high-quality products. It is used to protect the end-use products from discoloration, chalking, and degradation. Foaming agent masterbatch is also called as blowing agent masterbatch. It is used to increase the volume and reduce the weight of plastic. Optical brightener masterbatch is used to impart brightness in various plastic products. And nucleating agent increases transparency, reduces the cycle time of the molding process, and improves the dimensional stability of end-use products

APAC is projected to be the fastest-growing additive masterbatch market during the forecast period. The emerging countries of APAC, such as China, India, and Indonesia, have a high consumption of plastics, since the last five years, which increases the demand for additive masterbatch. Presence of emerging industries in India and China is expected to generate high demand of masterbatch owing to increasing construction activities, huge population base creating demand for consumer goods.

PP is estimated to be the largest polymer in masterbatch market between 2020 and 2025.”

PP is a thermoplastic polymer having lower density and higher softening point as compared to PE. PP is used in rigid packaging, which includes caps & closure of PET bottles and thin-walled containers of yogurt. It is also used in automotive, flexible packaging, consumer products, fibers, BOPP film, carpets, and reusable products such as containers, papers, laboratory equipment, furniture, and medical instrument.

PP-based masterbatch offers greater efficiency, smoothness, and dispersion ability to the applications of plastic goods. The increasing consumption of PP in the packaging, textile, and building & construction industries is attributed to its developments in APAC. The growth in the use of PP masterbatch is mainly attributed to its demand in the growing end-use industries of APAC.

“Packaging is projected to account for the largest market share of the masterbatch market between 2020 and 2025.”

Packaging is widely for the protection and transportation of goods utilized at the retail, industrial, and institutional levels. The availability of a wide variety of plastics and their adherence to regulatory standards make them the most extensively used material for packaging. Plastics can be modified in various shapes. It also provide better aesthetic appeal to the packaging, as they provide the required color, shape, size, utility, printing, weight, and protection. Growth in the use of plastics in the packaging industry is driving the demand for masterbatch. The growing importance of color in marketing and branding activities is further fueling the growth of the masterbatch market. Packaging is of two kinds the rigid packaging and the flexible packaging. The flexible packaging will take a greater market share for its flexible property and its nature to retain moisture and fragrance. Flexible packaging is mostly used for frozen food, beverage, pharmaceutical products, dairy products, shopping bags, and confectionary packaging.
