Market Overview:
The global melt flow indexer for thermoplastic market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for melt flow indexers from various end-use industries, such as automotive, packaging, and construction. In addition, the growing demand for semi-automatic and automatic melt flow indexers is also contributing to the growth of this market.
Product Definition:
A melt flow indexer for thermoplastic is a device used to measure the amount of time it takes for a given sample of thermoplastic to flow through a specific bore size under constant pressure. The melt flow index (MFI) is important because it can be used as an indicator of the quality and performance of thermoplastics.
Manual:
The manual is a device that helps in controlling the temperature of an oven during baking. It is also used to control the temperature of a heating element in order to maintain uniformity or accuracy in cooking processes. The primary function of any manual is to provide an operator with easy and precise control over several aspects of heat application, including time, rate, and degree.
Semi-automatic:
Semi-automatic is a machine used for the production of high quality and accurate MFI (Melt Flow Indexer) instruments. It is also used to produce standard and non-standard MFI products. The product produced by this equipment has applications in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical devices, consumer goods etc.
The semi-automatic equipment segment was valued at USD 1,37 million in 2015.
Application Insights:
Melt flow indexer for thermoplastic is used to measure the melt mass-flow rate and the melt volume-flow rate. The former test is used to determine the efficiency of a process, whereas latter test is employed to check if a given material can be processed in an extrusion die or not. Other applications include film thickness measurement and density testing.
The demand for MFR tests was highest in North America with over 35% market share in 2017 owing to regulatory acceptance of this technique as an alternative method for determining metal flowability by weight loss across various industries such as automotive, medical device, aerospace & defense among others. Melt mass-based testing provides more reliable results than that based on volumetric methods since it does not rely on assumptions regarding material properties such as density and viscosity which are inherent limitations of most other techniques currently available in the market place.
Regional Analysis:
The Asia Pacific Melt Flow Indexer For Thermoplastic Market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The presence of a large number of thermoplastic manufacturers in countries such as China, India, and Japan coupled with increasing demand for these products owing to their superior properties such as high strength and wear resistance are some of the major factors driving growth in this region.
Europe was estimated to be the second-largest regional market for melt indexers for thermoplastic by volume in 2017 due to its well-established manufacturing sector. In addition, Europe has been hosting several sporting events that have led it become one of the largest sports tourism markets across the globe thus fueling product adoption rate significantly over past few years. However, recent developments within Russia's borders may hinder growth over next few years due to political instability which has resulted into economic sanctions imposed on Russia by numerous nations including U.S., EU member states etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries: The global Melt Flow Indexer For Thermoplastic market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 4% during the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand from end-use industries such as automotive, construction, and packaging.
- Rising investments in R&D: Key players are investing heavily in R&D activities to develop innovative products and technologies that can cater to the specific needs of different end-use industries. This is likely to boost the growth of the Melt Flow Indexer For Thermoplastic market in the coming years.
