The global black masterbatch market is projected to be US$ 3196.2 Mn in 2020 to reach US$ 5,414.3 Mn by 2030 at a CAGR of 5.4%.

Masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of pigments and additives that are encapsulated during a heat process into a carrier resin, it is solid or liquid additive for plastics used for either colouring plastics (colour masterbatch) or for imparting other properties to plastics (additive masterbatch). Similar to any other masterbatch, black masterbatch comprises of excessive carbon black, carrier resin and dispersants, and can be customized by colour and heat or UV requirements. Black masterbatch allows processors to colour polymers economically during the plastic manufacturing process, owing to which black masterbatches products are extensively used throughout the plastic industry and are particularly suitable where unique attributes are required.

Global black masterbatch market is expected to grow steadily during the forecast period, and demand for black masterbatch is expected to remain robust in emerging economies, owing to the favourable economic environment. Black masterbatch has several applications, owing to which they are widely used in various end-use segments such as plastic industry, automotive, agriculture, packaging and others. Furthermore, strong demand from plastic industries is a key factor for the enormous growth in the target market. Black masterbatch market is expected to register strong growth, owing to the rising usage of plastic alternatives in comparison to metals in the automotive industry. Hence strong need in the automotive sector, particularly from developing economies would decidedly augment the growth of the target market. Another important end-use application of black masterbatch is that it is extensively used in films extrusion, common method to make plastic films, especially for packaging industry which is expected to drive demand for black masterbatch market further.

Black masterbatch consists of carbon black, which is often used for conductive packaging, films, fibres, foams, tubes and cables. Carbon black is extremely resistant to colour change or fading, even under extreme conditions, especially for engineering polymers which are aiding the growth of the target market. In agribusiness, a black masterbatch is generally utilized in nursery outlines, water system frameworks, mulch films, and so on, which is also serving in the growth of the target market. In addition to this, government investment plans and stable policy framework for automobile manufacturers in the Asia Pacific will significantly impact market growth. Also, changing consumer preferences toward a better standard of living with growing per capita income in this region will substantially boost revenue generation for the automotive industry. These factors will positively aid in the growth of masterbatch products during of forecast period.


Global Black Masterbatch Market Revenue (US$ Mn), 2021 to 2030


Robust growth in end-use segments such as automobile, agriculture and others, especially in developing economies such as China and India will undoubtedly augment the growth of the target market.

Strong growth in the plastic industry and growth of the construction sector in emerging economies and recovery in developed countries is another major factor expected to boost demand for black masterbatch during the forecast period.

Stringent regulations by various government regulatory bodies across the globe regarding the use of certain type of pigments in packaging and holding materials, particularly food products packaging, may hinder the growth of the global black masterbatch market.

High loading carbon black masterbatch for pressure pipe applications

Abstract

A masterbatch for pressure pipe applications is disclosed. The masterbatch includes carbon black in a concentration that is in excess of 40 weight percent (wt %) of the masterbatch, and a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) carrier resin in a concentration that is in the range of 40 to 60 wt % of the masterbatch and has a melt flow index above 100 g/10 min at 2.16 kg/190° C. and a weight average molecular weight (Mw) that is less than 100000. The masterbatch may further include one or more additives (e.g., lubricant and/or an anti-oxidant). In some embodiments, microdispersion of carbon black in the masterbatch is rated less than 3 (according to ISO 18553). In one specific case, 98% or more of observed carbon black agglomerates are less than 30 microns. The masterbatch may be included, for example, in a pressure pipe compound where it is diluted with a base polymer.

Below are the key development patents related to Black Masterbatch Market in 2020 and 2021.


September 2020: Toyo Ink Europe Specialty Chemicals Develops Near-Infrared Sortable Black Masterbatch. New technology enables the sorting of black plastic packaging for recycling. Toyo Ink Europe Specialty Chemicals S.A.S. (TIESC), a member of the Toyo Ink Group, developed a new range of Lioplax black plastic masterbatch for near-infrared (NIR) sorting and subsequent material recovery. The new packaging masterbatch supports the recyclability of black plastic waste that is currently destined for landfills, thus helping customers in closing the loop on the circular economy.
Presently, plastic waste sorting is based on automatic optical sorting methods with the majority of sorting equipment relying on the reflectance of NIR wavelengths. Standard black masterbatches are typically produced with carbon black pigments. Since carbon black absorbs infrared light, identification by optical sensors is impossible. This results in undetected black or dark-colored packaging waste being sent to landfill or incineration. Addressing the recycling issue, TIESC developed a new alternative to standard carbon black masterbatch. Source
