The global Injection Molding Materials Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 286.73 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.5% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:
Injection molding materials are a type of thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer that are fed into an injection molding machine where they are heated and shaped into various products. These materials offer advantages such as durability, resistance to chemicals and moisture, and can be easily molded into complex shapes and sizes.

Market key trends:
Growing demand for environment-friendly materials: The increasing awareness about reducing plastic waste and shifting preference towards sustainable products has led injection molding material manufacturers to develop bio-based and recyclable materials. For instance, PLA (polylactic acid) is a biodegradable thermoplastic derived from renewable plant sources such as corn starch, cassava roots or sugarcane. It offers properties similar to petroleum-based plastics and is increasingly being used for injection molding of various products.

The injection molding materials market has been witnessing rising demand for high-performance plastics globally. Materials such as polypropylene, nylon, and thermoplastic elastomers are increasingly being used in injection molding owing to their superior properties including durability, lightweight, resistance to corrosion and chemicals. Furthermore, the development of new grades of polymers catering to application requirements in industries such as automotive, packaging, consumer goods and electronics is fueling the consumption of injection molding materials.

SWOT Analysis
Strength: Inherently faster production process compared to other manufacturing processes allowing for high-volume and complex parts to be produced.
Weakness: High setup and tooling costs for molds. Requires large capital investments in molding machines.
Opportunity: Growing demand for lightweight and durable materials from automotive industry due to stringent fuel efficiency and emission norms.
Threats: Volatility in raw material prices can increase production costs. Strong competition from aluminum and composite materials in certain applications.
