Masterbatches are concentrated mixtures of pigments and additives, used for coloring and imparting specific properties to polymers. They are prepared by encapsulating pigments in carrier resins, which are then cut into granular shape or kept in liquid state (liquid masterbatch), and later processed with base polymer. Based on their use and appearance, masterbatches are classified into four major types - black, white, color and additive, which are used for diverse applications. Black masterbatch segment dominated the Asia-Pacific masterbatch market with more than one third revenue in 2015. The segment is forecast to continue its dominance over the next five years as well on account of growing demand from building and construction sector, which is growing at a robust pace, and increasing applications in automotive sector. In Asia-Pacific region, highest demand for black masterbatch is being witnessed from China, predominantly due to rapidly growing end user industries. In order to leverage high growth opportunities offered by the region, major companies, such as Ampacet, A. Schulman, and Clariant, are increasing their focus on China and India.
