Metal Injection Molding Market Share

APAC Market Statistics

The market share of metal injection molding in Asia Pacific, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to be the largest with a share of about 38% by the end of 2036. The growth of the metal injection molding market can be attributed majorly to the increasing growth of the region's market is growing interest in miniaturizing consumer electronics and an expanding automotive industry around the world. In this region, as a consequence of the fact that major players from the Asia Pacific have set up their manufacturing facilities there, labor costs are lower than elsewhere. For instance, BASF has set up a new manufacturing facility at the Kuanyin site in Taiwan with the purpose of producing Catamolds. Furthermore, a new Technical Service Laboratory has been set up at the BASF MIM feedstocks business in Shanghai, China. In Pudong, a new Technical Service Laboratory for Catamold is established at the BASF Innovation Campus in Asia Pacific to provide technical support and customer training. The sector is driven by rapid industrialization, technological progress, high GDP growth rates and a growing demand from the automotive, consumer durables and machine tools sectors. All these factors are expected to contribute to the growth of the market in the forecast period.

North American Market Forecast

The North American metal injection molding market is estimated to be the second largest, registering a share of about 25% by the end of 2036. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the increasing collaboration, joint ventures and strategies by market players which will benefit organizations in terms of improving their product offering on Metal Injection Molding. Tozmetal Ticaret Ve Sanayi AS became the property of GKN Sinter Metal Engineering GmbH on June 2017. This is estimated to contribute to the growth of the market in the forecast period.

Europe Market Forecast

Further, the market in the Europe, amongst the metal injection molding market in all the other regions, is projected to hold a majority of the share by the end of 2036. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the increasing demand from the healthcare industry. The healthcare and medical industry have robust demand for metal injection molding (MIM) injection for the technology. This technology is being applied for the improvement of medical devices including implants, tubes, sensors, catheter tips and microoptics. Furthermore, the increasing demand for miniature constituents in manufacturing medical micro parts across the healthcare industry is again expected to drive the demand for micro injection molding.
