Masterbatch, a concentrated solid or liquid mix of pigments and/or additives encapsulated into a carrier polymer resin, is used to include pigments or performance-enhancing additives to natural polymers. In Middle East & Africa, masterbatches are widely used in building and construction sector, packaging industry, production of household appliances and automotive sector. Over the last five years, the masterbatch market in the MEA region has been witnessing introduction of high-quality, standardized masterbatches for use in construction, plastic and fiber industries. Based on their use and appearance, masterbatches are classified into four major types - black, white, color and additive, which are used for diverse applications. Over the last five years, white masterbatch segment dominated the MEA masterbatch market, owing to its various applications in injection molding, film extrusion, blow molding and fiber extrusion.
