my country’s conductive masterbatch market has strong demand and the production capacity of high-end products needs to be improved

Conductive masterbatch, also known as conductive masterbatch, is a subdivided product of functional masterbatch, which refers to conductive aggregates made of super-constant chemical additives, dispersants and carrier resins. Conductive masterbatch has the advantages of stable chemical properties, good insulation, impact resistance, light weight, and aging resistance. It is mainly used in the production and manufacturing of conductive plastics. According to different raw materials, conductive masterbatch can be divided into PBT conductive masterbatch, PP conductive masterbatch, ABS conductive masterbatch, PS conductive masterbatch, PVC conductive masterbatch, etc.

Conductive masterbatch raw materials are rich in variety and come from a wide range of sources. Products prepared from different raw materials have differences in comprehensive performance. Synthetic resin, copper fiber, additives and dispersants are the main raw materials of conductive masterbatch, and synthetic resin and copper fiber occupy the main production cost. At present, conductive masterbatch mostly chooses resins with a melt index similar to the plastic matrix resin as the carrier, which can better exert its performance advantages. In 2021, my country’s synthetic resin output reached 108.152 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 5.1%. Benefiting from the sufficient supply of raw materials, my country’s conductive masterbatch production continues to grow.

The preparation process of conductive masterbatch requires the use of parallel twin-screw extruders, high-speed mixers and other equipment. The raw materials need to be first placed in a high-speed mixer according to a certain proportion for mixing and mixing, and then the parallel twin-screw extruder is used for extrusion operations to obtain The primary conductive masterbatch is finally made into conductive masterbatch through secondary extrusion granulation, coating, granulation and other processes. At present, the development of conductive masterbatch production technology in my country is relatively backward, resulting in insufficient supply of high-end products.

According to the “2022-2027 Conductive Masterbatch Industry Market Investment Space and Enterprise IPO Listing Environment Comprehensive Assessment Report released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that conductive masterbatch is mainly used in the field of conductive plastics and is the main raw material in its production process. Electromagnetic wave shielding, integrated circuit packaging and electronic components are the terminal markets for conductive masterbatch. In recent years, driven by market demand, my country’s research process on conductive plastics has continued to accelerate, and the industry’s prosperity has continued to increase. In 2021, my country’s demand for conductive plastics will reach 25,000 tons. With the rapid development of downstream industries, the scale of my country’s conductive masterbatch market will continue to expand.

In terms of market competition, there are many conductive masterbatch manufacturers in my country and the industry concentration is low. Jiangsu Tiannai Technology Co., Ltd., Hunan Huitong New Materials Co., Ltd., and Hangzhou Huasu Industrial Co., Ltd. are well-known suppliers of conductive masterbatch in my country. Currently, due to technical barriers, my country’s high-end conductive masterbatch market is monopolized by overseas brands.

Industry analysts said that as the main raw material for conductive plastics, the output of conductive masterbatch in my country continues to grow. With the increasingly strong market demand, in the future The development trend of the industry will continue to improve. However, currently, due to factors such as high technical barriers, my country’s conductive masterbatch companies focus on producing mid- to low-end products, leaving a large gap in the high-end market. Driven by technological innovation, the scale of my country’s high-end conductive masterbatch market will continue to expand.
