Injection Moulding Machines Market Dynamics

The growth in the moulding machine market is mainly due to the trend of rapid industrialization in developing countries. Technological developments which require specialized components accelerated urbanization, and infrastructure growth are further driving the growth. The increasing demand for reducing production timelines also acts as an augmenting factor driving the injection moulding machines market growth in recent years.

The factors that restrain the growth of the market are; ban on plastics across the world due to rising environmental consciousness among the population. Since plastics are derived from the naturally occurring materials such as coal, natural gas, and crude oil, the fact that they’re depleting fast also raising concerns over the future market growth.

Injection Moulding Machines Market Segmentation Analysis

By material, the Global Injection Moulding Machines Market is divided into Plastic, Metal, Rubber, Ceramic, and others. The plastic injection moulding machine segment is expected to have the highest market share, primarily due to rising demand from the automotive industries, and the consumer-goods market which has a wide range of applications like manufacturing of plastic bottles, plastic toys, chairs, etc. The plastic segment is also further divided into thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics. The thermoplastics segment is projected to have a higher market share than its thermosetting counterpart. This is mainly due to its higher flexibility, and low boiling point of thermoplastics. Metal injection moulding is further sub-segmented into iron and steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminium etc. Ceramic injection moulding is further sub-segmented into zirconia, alumina, etc.

By technology, the Global Injection Moulding Machines Market is segmented into Hydraulic, Electric, and Hybrid moulding machines. The Hydraulic Injection Moulding Machine segment is forecasted to dominate the market, as electric machines are unable to achieve the clamping force produced by hydraulic moulding machines. Whereas hybrid injection moulding machines, on the other hand, are expected to have considerable growth in the coming years. For example, Arburg manufactures hybrid injection moulding machines that are designed to save energy up to 40%. Adding to this is the fact that the maintenance of hybrid machines requires skilled employees having expertise in electric and hydraulic machines are the key factors affecting the growth.

By end-use, the Global Injection Moulding Market is divided into Automotive Electronics, End-product Packaging, and Consumer Goods. The end-user segment is expected to be outshined main by automotive goods supported by increasing production of vehicles and increasing demand for transportation in the developing nations and developed countries.

Global Injection Moulding Machines Market Geographical Share

By geography, the market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa.

The Global Injection Moulding Machines Market is expected to be concentrated in the North American region primarily from the USA with increasing demand for automotive components. Complementing this, the increasing rate of adoption to advanced technology in the US compared to global, have supported the growth of injection moulding machines market in the region.

In the European region, Germany is expected to emerge as a leading market for Injection Moulding Machines due to government policies focussed on improving infrastructure, continuing investment in Research and Development, and finally increasing skilled workforce in the country. The Global Injection Moulding Machine Market will experience a boost from these factors as the units used in construction are produced by these machines. For example, Metal injection moulding machines produce a range of components used in the construction business like fittings, metal pipes, clamps, etc.

In the APAC region, China is anticipated to have the highest market share, due to the rapid rate of industrialization, and increasing automation of repetitive and risky tasks. Automation directly affects the demand for injection moulding machines as the machines which replace humans, need complex, and specialized components. These components are produced by injection moulding machines- either hydraulic or electric or even hybrid.

Global Injection Moulding Machines Companies and Competitive Analysis

The Global Injection Moulding Machines Market is fragmented, as there is no major competitor holding a major portion of the market share.
