The black masterbatches market size is estimated to be USD 2.4 billion in 2021 and is projected reach USD 3.0 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 4.4 % between 2021 and 2026. . This growth is mainly supported by the increasing need for innovative and attractive plastic products from the packaging industry. Most of the polymer manufacturers have switched the processing method of plastics from compounding to masterbatch. This process is cost-effective and saves processing time as compared to compounded materials. American and European black masterbatch manufacturers are focusing on expanding their manufacturing facilities in emerging economies owing to cost-effective labor, low setup cost, tax benefits, and high demand for black masterbatch.

Plastics provide superior mechanical, physical, thermal, and electrical properties than metals. Engineering ...
... plastics are widely used in various automotive components such as steering wheels, airbags, seatbelts, bumpers, and dashboards. Continuous innovation and demand for lightweight materials in the automotive industry are encouraging the replacement of metals with plastics. It is estimated that for every 10% reduction in the weight of vehicles, fuel efficiency can be increased by 7–8%. In addition, plastics offer better design, safety, and environmental sustainability than metals. Automotive and airplane manufacturers utilize lightweight plastics such as PP and PC for windows, hoods, and interior applications.

Plastics used in the manufacture of automotive components are PBT, PET, PVC, ABS, PA, PS, PC, and PE. Implementation of stringent regulations on vehicular emissions in developed nations has led to automobile manufacturers working on weight reduction of vehicles. As plastic is used for weight reduction in vehicles, the demand for plastics in the automotive industry is increasing rapidly. Black masterbatch is used in exterior applications such as vehicle bodies, bumper, headlamp lenses, body side protection strips, window sealing profiles, and tires in the automotive industry.
