Injection Molding Machine Market size was over USD 16.59 billion in 2024 and is poised to exceed USD 30.52 billion by 2037, growing at over 4.8% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of injection molding machine is evaluated at USD 17.27 billion.
Increasing demand of plastic products and wide-scale applications of injection molding machine in manufacturing automotive components coupled with its increased efficiency in production output are some of the significant factors boosting the market growth.
Growth Drivers
Globally Increasing Automobile Sector to Boost the Market Growth
Various automobile parts which comprises bumper, dashboards, lighting systems and seat covers are made from injection molding machines. According to statistical data released by International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the total production of cars globally was 67.14 million in 2019. China being the global producer for the automotive products coupled with the growing demand for automobiles in India, Indonesia, and Japan is propelling the growth of the market.
Increasing Demand of Plastic Products to Drive the Market Growth
Since the requirement for plastics and related products are continuously increasing, there is a rise in demand for machines to facilitate the molding process more quickly and easily to increase the production output. As per the data given by PlasticsEurope-Association of Plastics Manufacturers, the world plastic production was 335 million tonnes in 2016 and it reached 348 million tonnes in 2017. Innovated injection molding machines are being developed which can meet the increased demand from manufacturers of plastic products. On the back of these, the market is predicted to grow over the forecast period.
Challenges
Higher Machine Tooling Cost and Design Restrictions to Hamper the Market Growth
There is a high up-front cost involved in machine testing and tooling. Further, plastic parts must follow the basic design considerations of injection molding. This is estimated to hinder the growth of market in the future.
