The global masterbatch market was valued at USD 10.99 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow to USD 16.35 billion by 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% over the forecast period. A solid or liquid ingredient called a masterbatch is used to paint or impart certain qualities to polymers. Plastic objects are given colour or shade using coloured masterbatch. Properties like energy, effect, UV stabiliser, biodegradable, antioxidant, and others can be communicated using them. The ideal product would be a mixture of pigment, additives, and carrier resin that has been heated, cooled, and then chopped into granular form. During the production of plastics, it aids the processor in efficiently colouring raw polymer.
