Solid Masterbatches Market Overview

The solid masterbatches market size is estimated to reach US$15.5 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of around 4.7% from 2022 to 2027. The solid masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of additives, pigments, flame retardants such as antimony oxide, chlorendic acid, tricresyl phosphate, and others. The solid masterbatches are used in the production of polymers due to their UV stabilizing, antistatic, and flame retardation properties. The rising demand of the solid masterbatches in the plastic manufacturing and packaging is creating a drive in the solid masterbatches market. Furthermore, the increasing application of the solid masterbatches and plastic material in construction, automotive, packaging, and other end-use industries will lead to growth in the global solid masterbatches industry during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact

The solid masterbatches market was majorly impacted by the disruption during the COVID-19 pandemic. The disturbance in production, logistics disruption, rising demand and supply gap, and other lockdown restrictions led to major decline in the growth prospects in the market. The solid masterbatches has rising application in the automotive sector. The automotive industry experienced major decline in the covid-19 outbreak. The automotive production, assembling activities, distribution, and others faced shutdown and delay. Moreover, various assembly plants were closed across the world, along with rising labor shortages and restrictions on transportation. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the automotive production saw a decline of 21% in Europe, 19% in U.S., 32% in Brazil, 35% in Africa, and 10% in Asia. The declining demand for automotive sector led to major fall in solid masterbatches applications such as steering wheels, engine components, and others. Thus, with declining applications and growth, the solid masterbatches saw a major slowdown in the covid-19 outbreak.
