China Injection Molding Machine Market by Product Type (Plastic, Rubber, Metal, Ceramic, and Others), by Machine Type (Hydraulic, All-electric, and Hybrid), by Clamping Force (Below 200 Tons, 200–500 Tons, and Above 500 Tons), by Business Type (New Sales and Aftersales), by End-User (Automotive, Packaging, Electronics, Healthcare, Consumer Goods, Toy Making, Building and Construction, Home Appliances, and Others) –Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024–2030
China Injection Molding Machine Market size was valued at USD 4.48 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 6.01 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 4.0% from 2024 to 2030.
One of the primary driving forces behind China's injection molding machine industry is the strategic expansion of manufacturing facilities by renowned players within the country. These established manufacturers recognize the significance of the Chinese market and are responding by enhancing their local production capabilities. For instance, in February 2023, Sumitomo (SHI) Demag China announced the construction of its new 43,000-ft2 facility to double injection molding machine production in China.
Moreover, as a global manufacturing hub, China's industrial landscape covers a wide range of sectors, from automotive and electronics to consumer goods and beyond. According to the TAKE-Profit Organization, Manufacturing Production in China increased by 3.9 % in July 2023 over the same month in the previous year. The confluence of these exclusive factors contributes to the remarkable growth of the injection molding machines industry in China.
However, emergence of alternative manufacturing technologies, such as 3D printing and additive manufacturing also restrains growth of the injection molding machines market. These innovative methods offer unique advantages that are drawing attention away from conventional injection molding. Industries that prioritize customization, rapid prototyping, and waste reduction are increasingly turning to 3D printing and additive manufacturing.
This diversion of demand impacts the injection molding machines market, particularly in sectors where these alternatives better suit the production requirements. As a result, injection molding machine manufacturers face the challenge of adapting to changing market dynamics and finding ways to remain competitive, as manufacturing technologies continue to evolve.
On the contrary, a significant factor expected to create substantial market opportunities for injection molding machines in the future is rise in demand for customization and personalized products. This trend is becoming evident across various industries, ranging from consumer goods to electronics. Injection molding machines are at the forefront of catering to this trend.
Machines that possess the ability to quickly switch between different molds and efficiently produce small batches play a pivotal role in enabling manufacturers to respond to this demand for customization. These machines empower manufacturers to produce items that are tailor-made to suit specific requirements and preferences. Whether it's creating custom-designed consumer goods or producing electronics with unique features, injection molding machines equipped for such versatility are crucial for fulfilling consumers’ demand.
