In terms of revenue share, masterbatch market from black masterbatch segment is estimated to surpass USD 6.5 billion by 2032. Black masterbatches are considered to be the most popular products used in plastic products owing to their resistance to high temperature, electrical conductivity, and heat dissipation. They also ensure uniform distribution with high jetness along with ultraviolet light stability, which makes them an ideal component in construction materials such as cables and pipes, automotive parts, and packaging boxes. An increasing focus on carbon emission reduction has also led to the development of black masterbatches with 100% recycled carbon black.
Masterbatch market share from consumer goods applications is projected to record a 5.5% CAGR through 2032. Consumer goods applications of masterbatches encompass a broad spectrum of commodities including electronics such as tablets, computers, and mobile phones.
