Injection Molded Plastics Industry Overview
The global injection molded plastics market size was valued at USD 284.7 billion in 2021. It is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% during the forecast period.
The growing demand for plastic components from various end-use industries including automotive, packaging, home appliances, electrical & electronics, and medical devices is anticipated to drive the market. Modern innovations to minimize the rate of faulty production have enhanced the significance of injection-molded technology in the mass production of complicated plastic shapes. Volatile prices of raw materials, such as benzene, ethylene, propylene, and styrene, coupled with the growing concerns regarding their disposal are expected to hinder market growth over the forecast period.

Companies focus on developing injection molded plastics using bio-based counterparts to overcome such challenges. Increasing construction spending, particularly in emerging markets, such as Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Russia, and South Africa, is expected to drive product demand. Versatile properties of finished products including better heat & pressure resistance make them more applicable to various industries. Government support in the form of tax benefits and financial incentives in China and India to increase the Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) flow has helped develop the market for plastics in these countries.
In addition, they offer low-cost labor, which further reduces the overall manufacturing cost for producers. However, this shift has resulted in the overcapacity of various plastic products, affecting their prices. However, a slowdown or halt in manufacturing activities to contain the spread of the coronavirus has led to a decline in the consumption of injection molding plastics and negatively impacted its demand in various applications across the globe.
