Plastic Injection Molding Machine Market Segmentation:
Machine Type Segment Analysis
Electric segment is expected to hold over 51.9% plastic injection molding machine market share by the end of 2035, as electric machines consume less energy, have a shorter cycle time, and provide better process control. These machines are being adopted in industries such as electronics, healthcare, and consumer goods industries, where accuracy and hygiene are paramount. In February 2024, ARBURG extended its electric series by launching the ALLROUNDER 720 E GOLDEN ELECTRIC with a clamping force of 2,800 kN. This trend supports the transition to full electric platforms that deliver greater returns on investment, require less maintenance, and can be easily integrated into Industry 4.0 environments.
Demand for electric molding solutions continues to rise as manufacturers seek to achieve high throughput rates and ever-higher environmental regulations while maintaining precision and variability. Electric machines also offer modularity and flexibility in terms of scale, which means they can be adjusted easily depending on the level of production. Their operational reliability, low noise, and emissions make them suitable for high-volume, environmentally friendly production processes. The upsurge in the adoption of electric micro-molding systems adds to this segment’s market dominance.
Clamping Force Segment Analysis
By the end of 2035, 200–500 tons clamping force segment is set to capture around 57.7% plastic injection molding machine market share, due to its applicability in mid-range applications. This segment targets specific markets such as packaging, automotive interiors, and medical device housing. In November 2024, YIZUMI released the sixth-generation A6 series injection molding machines with high energy efficiency and smart production. There are a number of advantages associated with these machines including the versatility of the machines and the ability to inject at a much higher rate. This segment remains popular due to its applicability to both electric and hybrid vehicles, offering superior performance with minimal space consumption. They are crucial in achieving production agility needs as well as cost-efficient manufacturing objectives.
