Regional Outlook
The Global Masterbatch Market has been studied with respect to five key regions – Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 with a 42.78% share and expects to reach USD 4,782.10 million by the end of 2023. The market in the region is presumed to grow at a modest CAGR of 6.13% on account of increasing demand for Masterbatch in the packaging industry. Moreover, the growth trajectory can also be attributed to demand from the established automotive and transportation industry in the region. Rising consumer awareness coupled with favorable government initiatives in developing economies such as China, India, Malaysia, and South Korea have fueled the market growth as well.
On the other hand, North America is projected to be the second-largest Masterbatch Market, with the United States (U.S.) ruling the regional market. This position has been achieved due to the substantial growth in automotive, packaging and consumer goods industries. Hence, strong establishment of industries and strong presence of market players in the region have resulted in the remarkable performance of the market.
Europe is another substantial market where economies such as Germany, the UK, France, Italy, and Russia play significant roles in adding to this growth. Meanwhile, the markets in Latin America and the Middle East & Africa claimed relatively smaller shares of the Global Masterbatch Market in 2017 due to undeveloped infrastructures, slow economic growth as well as slow industrialization.
