Masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of additives and pigments encapsulated in a heat process into a carrier resin which is cooled and cut into a granular shape. The processor is allowed to colour raw polymer economically throughout the manufacturing process of plastics. Masterbatch is a liquid or solid mixture of various pigments used for coloring or improving other properties of polymers such as flame retardation, antistatic, ultraviolet (UV) stabilizing, and antilocking. Major end-user industries for masterbatch include automotive, consumer goods packaging, building and construction, textiles, agriculture, and furniture.

Masterbatches are classified into four categories; black, white, color and additive masterbatches, depending on the color or certain functional properties they impart to the base polymer. Color masterbatches are often used in the production of plastics for food and beverage packaging applications, appliances, automotive and pharmaceutical packaging. Black masterbatches are highly used in building and construction, automotive and consumer appliance industries.

The global masterbatch market has been segmented on the basis of product type and applications. Based on product type the global masterbatch market can be divided into black, white, colour, additive and filler masterbatches. Colour Masterbatches are made in several forms depending on the aesthetic required for the type of plastic it is being made for. Additive masterbatches offer remarkable opportunities to improve the performance of plastic products. Filler masterbatches provide cost reduction and also depending on the design of the type of filler Masterbatch, offer better properties such as stiffness, anti-fibrilation, etc On the basis of applications the global masterbatch market can be divided into packaging, building & construction, consumer goods, textiles, automotive and others.

Growth in the specialty masterbatches products in selected end-user markets offers huge growth opportunities in the masterbatch market. Manufacturers of consumer products are increasingly seeking packaging materials that enable low cost production and ensure effective storage and transportation. In next few years, demand is therefore expected to grow for advanced masterbatch that offer both functional performance and aesthetic appeal.

Variation in prices of raw materials is a major factor hindering the growth of the masterbatch market. Rising oil prices lead to an increase in resin prices and pose a significant challenge for competitors in the market. Stringent environmental laws and competition from other polymers also restrain the growth of the masterbatch market.

In terms of geography, Asia-Pacific dominates the global masterbatch market. In the Asia–Pacific region, packaging represents the largest end-use market for masterbatch production.
