Special Effect Masterbatches Market Statistics - 2030
The global special effect masterbatches market size was valued at $2.9 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $5.3 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.2% from 2021 to 2030.
Special effect compounds can increase consumer appeal, provide beneficial features, mimic other materials, and add visual impact to the plastic products. Special effect masterbatches usually include unique pigments or fillers to achieve different visual effects such as metallic, pearlescent, sparkle mist, fluorescence, and transparent effects. These masterbatches are mixtures of special pigments and additives that are encapsulated and used in the manufacturing plastic products. The raw polymer can be colored, and special effects can be added to the finished products with the help of special effect masterbatches. A variety of special effects can be given to the polymers with the help of special effect masterbatches, which will enhance the attractiveness of polymers or end-product.
The increase in demand for high shelf life of food products by consumers increases the need for top barrier films. Next-generation polymer nano-composites are being engineered to further optimize the barrier properties of packaging films, which can add immense value to the ensuing laminate structure. Therefore, the demand for masterbatches is high in the region, which will lead to increase in demand for special effects masterbatches during the forecast period.
Color masterbatches have a wide range of applications in blow molding, film extrusion, injection molding, rotational molding, and others. There are distinct end-user industries, which use color masterbatches in their processing, such as electronic appliances, automotive, packaging, textiles, food & beverages, medicine packaging, and others. Thus, this increase in the end-user application of color masterbatches drives the growth and demand for special effects masterbatches market across the globe.
Masterbatches cost higher than commodity plastics due to various processing and enhanced properties. Fluctuating petrochemical prices, a source of extraction of plastic, can hinder the growth of the masterbatches market during the forecast period. Fluctuating crude oil prices is directly impacting the costs of plastics, and also affecting their usage. Thus, increasing cost of plastics would lead to a rise in the prices of masterbatches, thereby hindering the growth of the special effect masterbatches market.

COVID-19 analysis:
The outbreak of coronavirus has created negative impact across several end-use industries due to several steps taken by governments across the globe to curb the spread of the virus through nationwide lockdown. This decision has hampered the production across different industry verticals due to lack of raw material supply & transportation, low presence of labor, and decrease in demand for the use of special effect masterbatches. The outbreak of coronavirus has created negative impact on the special effect masterbatches market due to decline in the growth of several end use applications such as automotive, packaging, and food & beverage industry during the pandemic period, which also led many tier-3 special effect masterbatches manufacturers to take bold steps such as shutting down of their manufacturing capacities for survival. In addition, use of special effect masterbatches in the manufacturing of medical packaging and production of medical equipment have provided limited support toward the growth of the special effect masterbatches market during the pandemic period. However, the overall growth of special effect masterbatches market experienced negative effect during the pandemic period.
