Special effect masterbatches are concentrated mixtures obtained by mixing of colors and additives in a polymer carrier by heat treatment and a high shear mixing extruder. Special effect masterbatches consist of special pigments or fillers, which are used to achieve different visual effects such as metallic, glitter, marble, transparent, fluorescence, glitter, and others. Special effect masterbatches help in adding visual impact, increasing consumer appeal, and providing beneficial features to plastic products. Companies in the market are focusing on product design as well as packaging design differentiation, in order to increase their market share. The need for packaging differentiation has led to increasing importance of finishing effects for plastics, which is increasing demand for special effect masterbatches.
Top Key Players in Special Effect Masterbatches market: Ampacet, Corporation, PolyOne, Corporation, Gabriel-Chemie, Group, Viba, S.p.A., Clariant, AG, Americhem, Inc., Universal, Masterbatch, LLP, RTP, Company, ColorPlas, Polyadditives, LLP, and, Hampton, Colours.
Regional Analysis For Special Effect Masterbatches Market:
Besides segmental breakdown, the report is highly structured into region wise study. The regional analysis comprehensively done by the researchers highlights key regions and their dominating countries accounting for substantial revenue share in the Special Effect Masterbatches market. The study helps understanding how the market will fare in the respective region, while also mentioning the emerging regions growing with a significant CAGR. The following are the regions covered in this report.
Increasing demand for plastics from automotive industry to scale back vehicle weight and thereby, improve fuel efficiency is predicted to drive demand for effect masterbatches. Growth of automotive industry is predicted to drive growth of the effect masterbatches growth. as an example , consistent with China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, over 27 million vehicles were sold in China in 2018. consistent with an equivalent source, the car market in China is predicted to succeed in 30 million units by 2020 and 35 million units by 2025.
When compared to pure pigments, effect masterbatches require more space for storing and its production time interval is longer, which a serious factor that restrains growth of the market. Also, the non-biodegradable nature of those effect masterbatches is predicted to hamper the market growth over the forecast period.
Among regions, Europe is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the special effect masterbatches market over the forecast period. Growth of various end-use industries in the region is expected to drive the market growth. For instance, according to European Snacks Association, savory snack market was valued at US$ 19 billion in 2018 and savory snack nut consumption in Europe increased by 76% between 2009 and 2018. According to the same source, Dutch is the biggest consumer of snack nuts in Europe with consumption of 2.9 kg per capita. The growth of food & beverage industry in Europe is expected to drive demand for packaging products, which in turn is expected to drive market growth of special effect masterbatches.
Players operating in the special effect masterbathces market are adopting strategies such as mergers & acquisitions, in order to expand their product portfolio and increase their market presence. For instance, in December 2019, PolyOne Corporation entered into an agreement with Clariant AG to acquire Clariant’s color & additive masterbatch business segment. Clariant’s color & additive masterbatch has 46 manufacturing facilities and technology centers located worldwide and serves various end-use industries including packaging, healthcare, and consumer electronics. The acquisition will help PolyOne Corporation to expand its product portfolio and strengthen its market presence.
