Plastic masterbatch demand will climb to over 5.5 million tons by 2031.

Global demand for plastic masterbatch is expected to reach 5.5 million tonnes by 2031. Last year, over 1.4 million tons of white pigment masterbatch were sold worldwide, with the majority being used in toys, electrical appliances, automobile parts, furniture, and films. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) shields those items from ultraviolet light.

After TiO2 masterbatch, color masterbatch containing organic, inorganic, and effect pigments were the most common, followed by black additives. Industrial carbon black, which is very resistant to color changes and fading, is perfect for technical plastics.
