Market Overview:
The global injection molding materials market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for plastic products from automotive and electrical & electronics industries, rising disposable income of consumers, and growing demand for lightweight and durable packaging products. However, volatility in raw material prices may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. Based on type, plastics accounted for majority share of the global injection molding materials market in 2017. This can be attributed to its properties such as durability, light weight, and resistance against corrosion and abrasion. Based on application, automotive segment is expected to witness highest growth during the forecast period owing to increasing demand for plastic components in automobiles from developed countries such as U.S.
Product Definition:
Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a mold. Injection molding materials can be thermoplastic or thermoset plastics. Thermoplastics are melted and injected into the cavity of the mold, where they cool and solidify to form the desired shape.
Plastics:
Plastics are polymers of high molecular weight, which are derived from petroleum. They can be further divided into synthetic or artificial and natural or bio-based. The most commonly used plastics include Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and Linear Alkyl Benzene(LABS).
Metal:
Metal and it's usage in injection molding materials market is segmented on the basis of type, application and region. On the basis of type, metal can be classified as aluminum, copper alloys (brass & bronze), steel alloys (bronze & iron) and titanium. Among these types of metals; aluminum has gained popularity owing to its lightweight property which makes products made from this metal easy to carry or transport.
Application Insights:
The automotive application segment led the global injection molding materials market in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The rising demand for lightweight vehicles to improve fuel efficiency is expected to drive the demand for plastics, which are used as components in vehicle manufacturing.
Injection-molded rubber products are widely used in automobile manufacturing owing to their properties such as high durability, excellent mechanical & chemical resistance, low maintenance cost and better heat & cold performance than other plastics. These properties make them suitable for use as liners or even entire tires of a vehicle. In addition, they can be molded into any shape required by customers and have higher flexibility compared with traditional methods of producing tires such as treads on steel belts that were previously used by automakers during the 20th century era of car manufacturing between 1920s and 1970s.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for a major share of global population, which makes it a potential customer base for consumer goods manufacturers. In addition, rapid industrialization coupled with increasing foreign investments in China and India has resulted in an increased demand for plastics products across various industries including automotive, construction, electrical & electronics and others.
The Asia Pacific was followed by Europe that accounted for 24% of the total revenue share in 2017 owing to high consumption levels of injection molding materials from key markets including Germany, U.K., Italy and France among other Eastern European countries as well as Central & South European countries such as Greece and Portugal among others are experiencing economic recovery after years of recession which is anticipated to boost industry growth over the next eight years or so.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for lightweight and durable injection molded products from automotive and aerospace industries.
- Growing popularity of 3D printing technology that helps reduce the manufacturing time and cost of products with complex shapes.
- Rising demand for medical devices, especially disposable medical devices, which are manufactured using injection molding techniques.
- Rapid growth in the Asia-Pacific region due to rising population, increasing income levels, and growing industrialization rates in countries such as China and India .
