In recent years, the Chinese masterbatch industry has undergone significant growth, transitioning from a smaller, weaker sector to a thriving and influential force in the global market. As highlighted by Qiao Hui, Secretary General of the Industrial Association Masterbatch Professional Committee, this industry is currently flourishing, yet it faces critical challenges due to the lack of robust testing facilities and comprehensive standard systems. These deficiencies have emerged as major obstacles impeding further progress.
Qiao Hui noted that masterbatch coloring technology plays a dominant role among the four primary plastic coloring techniques, representing 48% of the market share. Presently, China stands as the leading producer and consumer of color masterbatch in Asia and is projected to remain the largest global demand market in the foreseeable future. The rapid expansion of China's plastics industry has significantly fueled the domestic masterbatch sector’s growth. Between 2000 and 2005, the demand for masterbatch in China maintained an average annual growth rate exceeding 20%. It is anticipated that the demand for masterbatch in 2006 will reach approximately 300,000 tons, with current annual production capacity nearing this figure, thus satisfying domestic needs fairly well.
Despite these positive developments, the industry confronts significant hurdles in terms of testing capabilities and standardization. Over the last couple of years, companies have faced considerable difficulties in finding suitable facilities to test their products. Since masterbatch serves as an intermediary between resins and final products, its standards tend to be less stringent. Furthermore, national-level plastic product and resin testing institutions often lack the expertise to assess masterbatch products, while specialized units capable of performing such tests frequently cannot acquire the necessary certifications required by clients within a reasonable timeframe. Consequently, even when product specifications fully comply with technical requirements, businesses struggle to secure the crucial "certification" needed to access international markets. This predicament severely hampers the sustainable growth of China's masterbatch industry.
Qiao Hui emphasized that establishing standardized guidelines is another pressing priority for the industry. Currently, China's masterbatch sector only has one outdated standard, QB1648-92 "Polyethylene Coloring Masterbatch," published in 1992, which falls short of meeting contemporary demands. The Masterbatch Special Committee is actively advocating for the introduction of additional industry standards. It is reported that two standards, "PP Fiber Masterbatch" and "ABS Masterbatch," have been submitted for approval and are pending ratification. Additionally, "Low-Molecular Weight Polyethylene Wax for Masterbatch" has received approval from the National Development and Reform Commission.
In conclusion, while the Chinese masterbatch industry enjoys substantial momentum and potential, addressing these structural gaps in testing and standardization remains essential for ensuring long-term success and global competitiveness.
