Masterbatch Market Dynamics

Driver: Increasing Use Of Plastics In Automotive Applications As A Replacement For Metals

The replacement of metal with plastics offers various advantages in automotive industry including a reduction in vehicle weight, cost, and production time. Increasing use of plastic components to achieve weight reduction is likely to boost the demand for plastic components, which is anticipated to fuel the demand for masterbatch. Increasing spending capability coupled with increasing number of vehicle owners in developing economies is expected to create immense growth potential for automotive industry, thereby fueling the demand for plastics over the forecast period. Subsequently, the growing plastic demand is anticipated to boost the demand for masterbatch. The interior of a vehicle in terms of luxury and comfort also influences the consumer decision in purchasing a car. The masterbatch additives used in car trim components help to meet the limit levels specified by automobile associations, which is expected to drive their demand in vehicle interior components over the forecast period.

Driver: Growing Demand For Plastics In Packaging Industry

The packaging industry is experiencing a robust surge in demand for plastics call mom driven by several factors influencing consumer preferences and supply chain dynamics. Changing consumer lifestyles have resulted in high demand for ready-to-eat food. Food packaging demands imposition of strict regulations within the packaging industry. Packaging that comes in contact with food is expected to conform to all the international and national standards and must be functional, sustainable, and acceptable to end consumers. This factor coupled with the increasing number of retail stores selling packaged food is driving the masterbatch market in packaging applications. Color masterbatch helps in providing the required color to the packaging bottles of consumer products like shampoo, automotive lubricants and from cosmetics to home care products. Therefore, the rising consumer trend toward purchasing branded products is expected to drive consumer goods manufacturers to invest more in packaging in order to increase the brand appeal and thereby drive the masterbatch market over the forecast period. The manufacturers of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) are constantly exploring emerging markets through innovative retail models. This approach of FMCG manufacturers has created a great market potential and increased the demand for packaging.

Restraint: Stringent Environmental Regulations

The additional costs required for plastic recycling may result in price inflation of the final polymer used in packaging industry. The production of recyclable polymers requires additive masterbatch; however, the operational difficulty encountered, in terms of additional cost, is expected to pose a threat to the growth of the masterbatch market over the forecast period. Raw materials, such as PET and PE (for e.g. HDPE), cannot entirely be recovered during the recycling process, which is expected to pose a challenge for manufacturers in terms of capital recovery. As plastic recycling uses masterbatch, low demand for recycled plastic is likely to have negative implications on masterbatch demand. The regulatory framework is expected to be further modified to reduce barriers for new entrants in the market with tax breaks and per unit subsidy for manufacturers engaged in plastic recycling. This may restrict the market growth for masterbatch over the forecast period.

Research Methodology

A three-pronged approach was followed for deducing the masterbatch market estimates and forecasts. The process has three steps: information procurement, analysis, and validation. The whole process is cyclical, and steps repeat until the estimates are validated. The three steps are explained in detail below:

Information procurement: Information procurement is one of the most extensive and important stages in our research process, and quality data is critical for accurate analysis. We followed a multi-channel data collection process for masterbatch market to gather the most reliable and current information possible.

We buy access to paid databases such as Hoover’s and Factiva for company financials, industry information, white papers, industry journals, SME journals, and more.
We tap into Grand View’s proprietary database of data points and insights from active and archived monitoring and reporting.
We conduct primary research with industry experts through questionnaires and one-on-one phone interviews.
We pull from reliable secondary sources such as white papers and government statistics, published by organizations like WHO, NGOs, World Bank, etc., Key Opinion Leaders (KoL) publications, company filings, investor documents, and more.
We purchase and review investor analyst reports, broker reports, academic commentary, government quotes, and wealth management publications for insightful third-party perspectives.

Analysis: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilized different methods of masterbatch market data depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.

Market Research Efforts: Bottom-up Approach for estimating and forecasting demand size and opportunity, top-down Approach for new product forecasting and penetration, and combined approach of both Bottom-up and Top-down for full coverage analysis.
Value-Chain-Based Sizing & Forecasting: Supply-side estimates for understanding potential revenue through competitive benchmarking, forecasting, and penetration modeling.
Demand-side estimates for identifying parent and ancillary markets, segment modeling, and heuristic forecasting.
Qualitative Functional Deployment (QFD) Modelling for market share assessment.

Market formulation and validation: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilize different methods of data analysis depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.

Market Formulation: This step involves the finalization of market numbers. This step on an internal level is designed to manage outputs from the Data Analysis step.
Data Normalization: The final market estimates and forecasts are then aligned and sent to industry experts, in-panel quality control managers for validation.
This step also entails the finalization of the report scope and data representation pattern.
Validation: The process entails multiple levels of validation. All these steps run in parallel, and the study is forwarded for publishing only if all three levels render validated results.

Masterbatch Market Categorization:

The masterbatch market was categorized into four segments, namely type (White, Black, Color, Additive, Filler, Biodegradable), carrier polymer (Polypropylene, Polyethylene, Polyvinyl Chloride, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Biodegradable Plastics), end use (Packaging, Building & Construction, Consumer Goods, Automotive & Transportation, Agriculture), and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Central & South America, Middle East & Africa).

Segment Market Methodology:

The masterbatch market was segmented into type, carrier polymer, end use, and regions. The demand at a segment level was deduced using a funnel method. Concepts like the TAM, SAM, SOM, etc., were put into practice to understand the demand. We at GVR deploy three methods to deduce market estimates and determine forecasts. These methods are explained below:

Market research approaches: Bottom-up

Demand estimation of each product across countries/regions summed up to from the total market.
Variable analysis for demand forecast.
Demand estimation via analyzing paid database, and company financials either via annual reports or paid database.
Primary interviews for data revalidation and insight collection.

Market research approaches: Top-down

Used extensively for new product forecasting or analyzing penetration levels.
Tool used invoice product flow and penetration models Use of regression multi-variant analysis for forecasting Involves extensive use of paid and public databases.
Primary interviews and vendor-based primary research for variable impact analysis.

Market research approaches: Combined

This is the most common method. We apply concepts from both the top-down and bottom-up approaches to arrive at a viable conclusion.

Regional Market Methodology:

The masterbatch market was analyzed at a regional level. The global was divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Central & South America, and Middle East & Africa, keeping in focus variables like consumption patterns, export-import regulations, consumer expectations, etc. These regions were further divided into eight countries, namely, the U.S.; Germany; the UK.; France; China; India; Japan; Brazil.

All three above-mentioned market research methodologies were applied to arrive at regional-level conclusions. The regions were then summed up to form the global market.
