Masterbatch Market Analysis and Overview 2025

Masterbatch Market Overview

The global market for masterbatch is set to reach USD 11,903.45 million by the end of 2023, asserts Market Research Future (MRFR). MRFR analysis also concludes that the global market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.54% during the forecast period (2018-2023). The future of the global market is likely to be lucrative owing to opportunities in numerous end-use industries, which include packaging, building and construction, consumer goods, transportation, electrical and electronics, and textile. Moreover, growing demand for plastic as substitutes for various materials like metal, concrete, and steel in various end-use industries has worked tremendously in favor of the market. Further, emerging trends like increasing demand of anti-shrinkage and flame retardant masterbatches for polypropylene (PP) pipes and polycarbonate (PC) sheets have had a direct impact on the dynamics of the global market, propelling the market growth.

On the flip side, strict government regulations to counteract the production of non-biodegradable materials are presumed to curb the market growth. However, looking at the current market scenario, it is safe to say the market is well on its way to higher levels on account of shifting consumer trend from sedentary to a healthier lifestyle. This trend, in particular, gives rise to growing demand in the packaged food and other retail products, as it helps address various concerns regarding unhealthy packaging like contamination of contained food.

Global Market for Masterbatch: Segmental Analysis

MRFR’s report provides a detailed segmental analysis of the market on the basis of type, application, end-use industry, and region.

By type, the global masterbatch market is segmented on the basis of color, white, black, and additive. Among these, the color masterbatch segment captured the largest share of the market in 2017 and projected to value USD 4202.4 million by the end of 2023. One of the main factors responsible for this growth is the excellent color distribution of color masterbatch throughout the final plastic product.
