Recently, Ceresana Consulting released a global market report on plastic masterbatches. It is estimated that the global plastic masterbatch market will grow at an annual rate of 3.7% by 2024. The report shows that in 2016, the world consumed more than 4 million tons of plastic masterbatch, of which the market demand for color masterbatch in the Asia Pacific region accounted for 40% of the global demand, and the revenue from color masterbatch in the Asia Pacific region accounted for one third of the global revenue from color masterbatch.

The super large amount of plastic additives is loaded in the resin and processed into a concentrate. When manufacturing plastic products, it is not necessary to add this kind of plastic additives, just add this kind of concentrate with super large amount of plastic additives in proportion. This concentrate is called plastic masterbatch. According to different plastic additives, plastic masterbatch is divided into: filling masterbatch, color masterbatch, flame retardant masterbatch, anti-static masterbatch, wear-resistant masterbatch, multi-functional masterbatch, etc.

White masterbatch+titanium dioxide

Color masterbatch is a plastic masterbatch with super large pigment. The most important type of master batch in 2016 is white master batch. From 2008 to 2016, the global demand for white masterbatch increased at a rate of 2.2%. Titanium dioxide is the most commonly used white pigment additive in inorganic pigments, and the plastic industry is the second largest user of titanium dioxide. Although the market price of titanium dioxide keeps rising, titanium dioxide is still the most widely used pigment in white masterbatch. Titanium dioxide has the following advantages when used in white masterbatch:

·High hiding power, high tinting power and high achromatic power make the masterbatch white.

·Improve the heat resistance, light resistance and weather resistance of the plastic products, improve the mechanical and electrical properties of the plastic products, prevent the plastic products from being attacked by UV light, and prevent the products from fading.

·Titanium dioxide is non-toxic. The plastic industry needs to color toys, electronic equipment, auto parts, household appliances, plastic films and other daily products. It is healthier to use titanium dioxide for coloring.

Black masterbatch+carbon black

According to the market report data of global plastic masterbatches released by Ceresana Consulting Company, the demand for black and white masterbatches is the largest among color masterbatches. The additive of black masterbatch is mainly carbon black. As a color additive, carbon black has many advantages in many plastic applications. Different pigment carbon black can make plastics present different blackness. The color of plastics added with carbon black is difficult to change, and it will not fade even in extreme outdoor environment. At the same time, carbon black is not only a black colorant in plastics, but also an anti ultraviolet aging agent and an antistatic agent.

The development of plastic industry has also driven the development of titanium dioxide, carbon black and other powder enterprises. As the second largest user of titanium dioxide, plastics need a large amount of titanium dioxide. With the increasing demand of plastic market, the demand for titanium dioxide is also increasing. The price of titanium dioxide may continue to grow steadily, and the net profit of titanium dioxide enterprises will also increase. Although the demand for carbon black in plastics is not as large as that in rubber products, carbon black has a greater impact on the performance of plastics, so plastics have higher requirements for carbon black. The increasing demand of plastic market brings more demand to carbon black enterprises, and also promotes enterprises to develop more varieties of carbon black for plastics.

The application of plastic products permeates all fields of the national economy, from packaging products to construction industry to transportation industry. The market of plastics is huge, and the market of additives for plastics is also increasing. For titanium dioxide, carbon black and other plastic related powder enterprises, this is undoubtedly a big cake. How to divide more profits is a problem that enterprises should think about
