Masterbatch are concentrated solid or liquid mix of products and/or additives encapsulated into a carrier polymer resin, that are used to add pigments or performance-enhancing additives to natural polymers. They are used with raw polymers during plastic processing so as to impart color and other desired properties to the final plastic product. Masterbatch are broadly classified into four major types - black, white, color and additive. Qatar is a niche plastic processing industry with total of 57 processors, of which only 35%-40% processors use masterbatch. Qatar masterbatch market is highly import driven with Qatar Plastic Additives Company (QPAC) being one of the leading domestic manufacturers. Saudi Arabia, UAE, India, etc. are few of the prime exporters of masterbatch to Qatar. Over the last five years, masterbatch market in Qatar witnessed introduction of high-quality, standardized masterbatch that are being increasingly used in construction, plastic, fiber and agriculture industries.

According to TechSci Research report “Qatar Masterbatch Market By Type, By Application, Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2011 - 2021”, the masterbatch market in Qatar is projected to reach US$ 23.28 million by 2021. Volume growth in masterbatch market in Qatar is anticipated on account of rising demand from processors using blown film extrusion process for manufacturing plastic sheets or films. In addition to blown film extrusion process, anticipated increase in roto molding process for manufacturing storage tanks and builders plastic, and single or twin screw extrusion process for cable manufacturing are also expected to increase demand for masterbatch in the country over the next five years. In 2015, Qatar masterbatch market was dominated by white masterbatch, in volume terms, followed by black, additive and color masterbatch. Few of the major masterbatch companies operating in Qatar include Qatar Plastic Additives Company, Clariant, A.Schulman, Juffali PolyOne, Cabot, and Astra Polymers. “Qatar Masterbatch Market By Type, By Application, Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2011 - 2021” elaborates the following aspects related to masterbatch market in Qatar:
