Additive masterbatch is a mixture of pigments and additives used to color polymers. Apart from imparting color, additive masterbatch industry also imparts other useful qualities to the plastics, such as higher resistance to UV radiation and flames. The growing replacement of metals with polymers in major manufacturing industries such as automotive is likely to be a major driver for the global additive masterbatch market over the forecast period. Polymers present several benefits in comparison to metals, including lighter weight and higher resistance to electrical currents and water. Water-based corrosion of metals is one of the major issues facing industries using metals in large quantities. Polymers eliminate this issue altogether, as they don’t react with water and are thus safe from corrosion. This is likely to be a major driver for the additive masterbatch market over the forecast period.
The growing use of plastics in packaging applications is likely to be a major driver for the additive masterbatch market over the forecast period. The packaging sector has grown by leaps and bounds in the last few years due to the growing ecommerce sector and growing urbanization in emerging regions. This is likely to be a major driver for the additive masterbatch market over the forecast period, as the demand for colored packaging materials is likely to grow over the forecast period.
Competitive Leaderboard:
Leading players in the global additive masterbatch market include Ampacet Corporation, RTP Company, Polyplast Muller GmbH, Dow Corning Corporation, Plastika Kritis SA, Plastiblends India Ltd., PolyOne Corporation, A. Schulman Inc., and Clariant AG.
Segmentation:
The global additive masterbatch market is segmented on the basis of type, carrier resin, end use industry, and region.
By type, the global additive masterbatch market is segmented into antimicrobial additive masterbatch, flame retardant additive masterbatch, antioxidant additive masterbatch, and others. The antimicrobial additive masterbatch segment is likely to grow at a rapid growth rate over the forecast period due to the growing demand for antimicrobial protection in plastic products. Microbial contamination can affect plastic products and make them a biohazard for consumers. Antimicrobial additive masterbatch eliminates this concern, making plastic products safe to use.
By carrier resin, the global additive masterbatch market is segmented into polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, and others. Polyethylene is the leading segment of the global additive masterbatch market and is likely to retain this position over the forecast period. The growing use of polyethylene in packaging applications is a major driver for the segment.
By end use, the global additive masterbatch market is segmented into packaging, consumer goods, automotive, building and construction, agriculture, and others. The packaging industry holds a dominant share of 30% in the global additive masterbatch market and is likely to remain the leading segment in the market over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific holds the largest share in the global additive masterbatch market and is likely to grow at the fastest pace over the forecast period.
