Top Masterbatch Companies

The global masterbatch market is highly competitive and fragmented. To gain a considerable percentage of market shares, key industry players are focusing on product development, new product launches, and geographical expansions. Despite the increased entrance barriers, many businesses continue to enter the field. Companies are realizing they need to make large R&D investments if they want to produce and market newer generations of masterbatch with innovative applications. Masterbatch is generally of superior quality in its later generations. They must also merge with, buy, and make strategic alliances with other profitable enterprises in order to retain their financial viability.
