The Injection Molding Machine Market is projected to reach USD 12.3 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 3.6% from USD 10.3 billion in 2020. An injection molding machine is used for manufacturing products made up of plastics, rubber, metal, and ceramic. It consists of two main parts – an injection unit and a clamping unit. The injection unit is like an extruder, whereas the clamping unit is concerned with the operation of the mold. Injection molding machines can fasten the molds either at the horizontal or the vertical position. Factors such as growing demand from the healthcare industry, rapid industrialization in growing economies like China, India & Thailand, and increasing demand for plastic molds in electric vehicles will drive the injection molding machine market.
Based on machine type, the injection molding machine market is segmented as Hydraulic, All-Electric, and Hybrid. Hydraulic accounted for the largest share in this segment. Hydraulic injection molding machine is the most popular machine type, primarily because of its long service life and a wide range of applications. The hydraulic injection molding machine consists of a fixed-speed, three-phase motor, and a variable-volume pump. Hydraulic injection molding machines have a long life, far drive distance, and low maintenance cost. This type of machine helps in a significant reduction of production cycle time. Molders mainly use high-tonnage hydraulic machines for molding large parts. This machine is mainly used for producing high precision components such as automotive parts, caps & closers, consumer goods, electrical & electronics goods, and medical items.

Based on clamping force, the injection molding machine market is segmented as 0-200 tons force, 201-500 tons force, and Above 500 tons force. The 201–500 ton-force segment accounted for the largest market share in terms of value, in 2019 and is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This high growth is attributed to the rising demand for medium-sized molded parts from major end-use industries such as automotive, packaging, and consumer goods.
The clamping force of 201–500 ton-force is mainly used in medium-sized injection molding machines. Machine types such as hydraulic, all-electric, and hybrid are available in 201–500 ton-force. These machines are mainly used for applications in the automotive, packaging, and consumer goods industries, where relatively medium-sized molded parts are required On the basis of product type, injection molding machine market is segmented into plastic (thermoplastics and thermosets), rubber, metal (powder and liquid), ceramic, and others (microinjection, gas injection molding, and liquid silicone rubber). Injection molding machines for plastic products is the most dominant and accounted for the largest share of the injection molding machine market in 2019. Injection molding is the manufacturing process for making plastic parts and products from thermoplastics and thermosetting materials. Commonly used plastic in the injection molding process are nylon, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene, and unsaturated polyesters.

Plastic products are manufactured using high-quality raw materials that ensure their superior quality. The injection molding process for plastic products involves heating the polymer until it is liquid and then using pressure to force it into the mold. The process is very fast and complicated. In spite of expensive tooling cost, injection molding is the most popular manufacturing process for the mass production of plastic materials. Injection molding machines are used to produce various plastic products such as power-tool housing, telephone handsets, electrical switches, car bumpers, dashboards, syringes, disposable razors, and bottle lids/closures.
