Market Overview:
The global metal injection molding materials market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for metal injection molded products from various end-use industries, such as automotive, medical & orthodontics, consumer products, industrial and firearms & defense. Stainless steel is the most commonly used type of material in metal injection molding due to its properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Low alloy steel is also a popular type of material used in this process owing to its superior mechanical properties compared with other types of steels. Soft magnetic materials are also increasingly being used in metal injection molding owing to their excellent magnetic characteristics and low cost.
Product Definition:
Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a mold. The material is usually a plastic, but metal injection molding (MIM) can also be used to produce metal parts.
Stainless Steel:
Stainless steel is a widely used metal in the plastic injection molding industry. It has several properties that make it suitable for various applications such as high strength, corrosion resistance, and ductility. The cost of stainless steel depends on its grade and application but generally it costs more than regular iron or carbon steel.
Low Alloy Steel:
Low alloy steel is a type of hot stamping metal mold that contains metals such as aluminum, copper and zinc. The low alloy steel mold can withstand high pressure during the injection-molding process. Low alloy steels are used in various industries including automotive, construction equipment and consumer electronics manufacturing among others.
Application Insights:
The automotive application segment led the global market and accounted for more than a 29% share of the total revenue in 2017. The growth is attributed to increasing demand for metal injection molded parts in cars, trucks, buses and other vehicles. In addition, stringent regulations on reducing vehicle weight are expected to boost product demand over the forecast period.
Medical & orthodontics application segment is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising use of dental products such as crowns and bridges along with growing number of patients seeking treatment from orthodontic providers across various regions globally. Metal injection molded components used in these dental devices offer advantages such as high strength at a reasonable cost when compared with traditional casting materials or machined parts made using expensive CNC equipment which further boosts their demand worldwide.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global metal injection molding materials market in 2017. The region is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from end-use industries, such as automotive and consumer goods. In addition, rising investments by foreign players for expanding their businesses in emerging countries of APAC are likely to contribute towards industry growth.
The North America market was valued at USD X million in 2017 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 due high product adoption across various application industries coupled with favorable government initiatives pertaining toward research & development activities within the region. Moreover, growing demand for lightweight vehicles has led manufacturers thereto adopt metal injection molding techniques for producing parts such as interior panels and body components that require less material consumption while maintaining strength requirements necessary during vehicle manufacturing processes.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for lightweight and high-performance components in automotive and aerospace industries
- Growing popularity of metal injection molding as a manufacturing process for medical devices and implants
- Rising demand from the electronics sector for miniaturized components with intricate shapes and features
- Proliferation of 3D printing technology that is enabling the development of customized metal injection molded parts
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using metal injection molded parts over traditional manufacturing methods
