概述
2023年,全球微注塑塑胶市场达到12亿美元,预计到2031年将达到28亿美元,2024-2031年预测期间复合年增长率为11.2%。
在预测期内,微注射技术的进步将成为推动市场成长的主要因素。 2023年11月,美国塑胶製造机械製造商Milacron宣布与工业自动化解决方案供应商FANUC合作推出新型全自动精密微注塑模型。
全球製造业的持续转变很可能会为全球市场的未来成长带来困难。作为最大的需求来源之一,中国的整体製造业成长近年来有所放缓,而印度等其他国家尚未全面加速。这将为微注塑塑胶市场带来短暂的成长放缓。
动力学
全球汽车生产復苏
儘管面临疫情挑战,全球汽车产业仍恢復良好。国际汽车製造商组织(OICA)的产量资料显示,2023年是疫情后的第一个全年,乘用车和商用车产量接近9,350万辆,比上年增加10%。这种成长很大程度上归功于电动车产量的激增。
汽车製造商目前正在用塑胶复合材料取代钢和铝合金,以减轻车辆重量并提高燃油经济性。这一趋势在电动车中得到了延续,汽车製造商寻求延长电池续航里程。消费者信心的整体改善导致汽车产量激增,这反过来又将产生对微型注塑塑胶的新需求。
生物相容性医疗设备的持续开发
吸取COVID-19大流行的教训,许多医疗设备製造商加快了生物相容性塑胶的开发,以防止在紧急治疗COVID-19患者时遇到的皮肤过敏和皮疹问题。新的微注射方法的进步也有助于加速新的生物相容性医疗设备的开发。
2023 年12 月,加拿大蒙特利尔大学的一个科学家团队与Adaptiiv Medical Technologies Inc. 合作,发表了一篇研究论文,详细介绍了用于近距离放射治疗的间隙帽的开发,该间隙帽由生物相容性塑胶製成,并透过3D 列印和注塑成型。
营运和维护挑战
微型注塑机是高度精密的设备,拥有数百种不同的精密零件。选择投资这些机器的塑胶生产商必须为高资本支出做好预算,包括购买、安装和维护。这些机器的循环时间要快得多,因此比其他传统塑胶射出机消耗更多的能源。造成高成本的另一个因素是需要熟练的操作和维护人员。有些机器製造商甚至要求员工经过正式训练后才可以操作注塑机。
Overview
Global Micro Injection Molded Plastic Market reached US$ 1.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 2.8 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 11.2% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
During the forecast period, advancements in micro injection technology will be a primary factor in driving market growth. In November 2023, Milacron, a U.S. manufacturer of plastic manufacturing machinery, announced the launch of a new, fully automatic, precision micro injection molding model in partnership with FANUC, the provider of industrial automation solutions.
Ongoing shifts in the global manufacturing will most probably lead to difficult conditions for the future growth of the global market. Overall manufacturing growth in China, one of the biggest demand generators, has slowed in recent years, whereas, other countries like India are yet to full step up. It will create a brief period of reduced growth for the micro injection molded plastic market.
Dynamics
Recovery of Global Automotive Production
Despite the challenges of the pandemic, the global automotive sector has recovered remarkably well. Production data from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) indicates that for 2023, the first full year of the post-pandemic period, nearly 93.5 million passenger and commercial vehicles were produced, representing a 10% increase from the previous year. A lot of this growth has also been due to the surge in electric vehicle production.
Automotive manufacturers are currently replacing steel and aluminum alloys with plastic composites in order to reduce vehicular weight and improve fuel economy. The trend has been carried forward in electric vehicles, with automakers seeking to extend battery range. An overall improvement in consumer sentiment is leading to a surge in automotive production, which in turn, will generate renewed demand for micro injection molded plastics.
Ongoing Development of Bio-Compatible Medical Equipment
Imbibing the lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic, many medical equipment manufacturers have accelerated the development of bio-compatible plastics, to prevent issues of sking allergies and rashes which were encountered during emergency treatment of COVID-19 patients. Advances in new micro injection methods are also helping to hasten the development of new bio-compatible medical equipment.
In December 2023, a team of scientists from University of Montreal in Canada in collaboration with Adaptiiv Medical Technologies Inc., published a research paper detailing the development of interstitial caps for brachytherapy made from bio-compatible plastics and fabricated from a combination of 3D printing and injection molding.
Operational and Maintenance Challenges
Micro injection molding machines are highly sophisticated pieces of equipment with hundreds of different precision parts. Plastic producers choosing to invest in these machines must budget for high capital outlays, including for purchase, setup and maintenance. The machines have a much faster cycle time and hence consume significantly more energy than other traditional plastic injection molding machines. Another factor contributing to the high costs is the requirement of skilled personnel for operation and maintenance. Some machine makers even require employees to undergo official training before they are allowed to operate the injection molding machinery.
The global micro injection molded plastic market is segmented based on material, application and region.
Development of Electric Vehicles Will Propel Demand from the Automotive Industry
As the global automotive industry increasingly switches to electric vehicles, the demand for precision-molded plastic components will increase significantly. With major brands like Volkswagen announcing a shift towards an all-electric portfolio by 2035 and EV-sceptical companies like Toyota developing their own models, the industry will become a major demand source for injection molded plastics.
The field of consumer electronics will also witness a rise in plastics demand, especially due to the advent of flexible display screens. Since flexible displays will require casings with bendable form factor, the usage of injection molding for developing new cases. The consumer electronics sector will also become a leading demand source for micro injection molded plastics in the upcoming years.
Asia-Pacific Poised for Significant Growth During the Forecast Period
The automotive and consumer electronic industries will be the chief sources of growth for micro injection molded plastic market during the forecast period. China will remain the largest domestic markets for these plastics, especially as it becomes the largest automotive exporter. A key advantage for Chinese end-users is the large production capacity of local plastics producers, which helps to keep down input costs.
A major trend that could accelerate during the forecast period is the pursuance of 'China + 1' strategy by multinational corporations looking to de-risk their supply chains away from China. Countries like Vietnam and India have received significant influx of investment in electronics manufacturing. Over the next few years, it will gradually lead to a diversification of demand for micro injection molded plastics in the region.
The pandemic created a limited period of uncertainty for the global market. Demand from the automotive and optics industries witnessed dramatic declines, as it was affected by pandemic lockdowns due to labor shortages and production disruptions. Medical equipment manufacturers, however, created a surge in demand, especially for producing intricate components for breathing apparatus and ventilators.
The overall global demand underwent a steady recovery in the post-pandemic period, with the automotive industry leading a strong resurgence. However, energy price volatility in wake of the Russia-Ukraine war created a brief period of uncertainty for the market. It is unlikely that this will alter the growth trajectory of the global market during the forecast period.
The war in Ukraine hampered the ability of Russia to source the latest micro injection molding machinery for the production of various military components. Russia is heavily reliant on South Korea and Japan for precision machine tools. Western sanctions haven't disrupted the overall demand for micro injection molded plastics, especially as the entire Russian economy has shifted to war production mode.
The only major challenge currently facing the country is the lack of support expertise and spare parts for plastic micro injection molding machinery. The Russian government has officially legalized the concept of parallel imports, allowing local companies to import parts and assembled machinery through the grey market.
The major global players in the market include Accu-Mold, Paragon Medical, SMC Ltd., Spectrum Plastics Group, Isometric Micro Molding, Makuta, Inc., PreciKam, MTD Micro Molding, Microdyne Plastics Inc and Movacolor.
The global micro injection molded plastic market report would provide approximately 53 tables, 47 figures and 185 Pages.
