The masterbatch application market covers a wide range of national economic fields, and the industry has huge room for development.

Masterbatch refers to a polymer composite coloring material that uses resin as a carrier, adds a high proportion of pigments, dispersants and functional additives, and is made through high-speed mixing, melting, extrusion, cooling and granulation. According to different colors, masterbatch can be divided into color masterbatch, white masterbatch, black masterbatch, functional masterbatch, etc.; according to different uses, it can be divided into injection molding masterbatch, blown film masterbatch, spinning masterbatch, etc. Masterbatch has the advantages of good coloring effect, environmental protection, easy storage and transportation, and is widely used in the field of coloring plastic products.

The masterbatch application market covers a wide range of national economic fields, mainly including electronic appliances, daily necessities, chemicals, building materials, automobiles, food, medical care, etc. Against the background of the continuous development of the application market, the domestic masterbatch market demand continues to increase, which in turn drives the expansion of its production and sales scale. According to the “Masterbatch Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report 2022-2026” released by the Industrial Research Center, in 2021 The annual domestic masterbatch output is approximately 2.185 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 5.9%; the market size is approximately 46.87 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.2%.

After recent years of development, the number of masterbatch companies in my country has reached thousands. At present, local masterbatch companies mainly include Dawn Co., Ltd., Hongmei Masterbatch, Midland New Materials, Baolidi, Sucaida, and Ningbo Color Mother etc. From the perspective of regional distribution, my country’s masterbatch companies are mainly distributed in eastern coastal areas such as Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and their regional distribution is relatively concentrated.

From the perspective of competition pattern, there are currently a large number of masterbatch companies in my country, but most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises, with low market concentration and fierce competition. After development in recent years, domestic masterbatch companies have continued to explore and practice, and some companies have gradually emerged, with leading companies such as Midland New Materials and Baolidi emerging. In the future, as leading companies continue to develop, the domestic masterbatch market concentration is expected to further increase. However, in the domestic market, foreign companies such as Cabot, Schulman, Clariant, and PolyOne still occupy a large market share. In the future, domestic companies will need to continue to improve their production technology and accelerate the process of domestic substitution. The industry has broad prospects for development. .

Industrial analysts personnel said that the masterbatch coloring method is the mainstream coloring method for plastic products, and its application market covers many fields of the national economy. . In recent years, against the background of the continuous development of its application fields, the market demand for masterbatch has been increasing, and the industry development prospects are good. In the future, as domestic environmental protection efforts continue to increase and application market demands continue to upgrade, the masterbatch industry will continue to develop in the direction of high performance, green environmental protection, and multi-functionality. In this context, local companies need to continuously improve their production technology, enrich product categories, and add new customized products and services, so that they can occupy an advantageous position in market competition and accelerate the process of domestic substitution in the domestic market.
