Metal Injection Molding Market Analysis

Material (Stainless Steel, Low Alloy Steel, Soft Magnetic Material)

The global metal injection molding market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by material into stainless steel, low alloy steel, and soft magnetic materials. Out of the three types of metal injection molding, the stainless steel segment is estimated to gain the largest market share of about 38% in the year 2036. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing and widespread application of stainless steel in a variety of end-use industries. Metal injection molding with a material of stainless steel combining high strength, hardness, and wear resistance in moderate corrosion has been launched by companies. In particular, Optimum launched a new range of products with good strength, hardness, and wear resistance on the market in 2019. The segment is expected to experience significant growth, as stainless steel molds with high heat transfer capability and excellent conductivity are foreseen to aid market expansion over the coming years. All these factors are estimated to contribute to the growth of the market growth in the forecast period.

End-user (Electrical & Electronics, Automotive, Consumer, Industrial)

The global metal injection molding market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end-user into electrical & electronics, automotive, consumer, industrial, and others. Amongst these five segments, the automotive segment is expected to garner a significant share in the year 2036. The demand for injection molded metal parts has also increased in the automobile sector. Engines, transmission gears, turbochargers, lock mechanisms, steering systems, and electronic systems are equipped with high-strength and heavy-complexity parts. For example, metal injection molded rocker arms are produced by Schunk GmbH in Germany. These are BMW engines using these weapons. A hollow configuration, reducing the weight which is difficult to achieve by other processes, was used. This, as a result, is anticipated to create numerous opportunities for the growth of the segment in the coming years.
