簡介目錄

概述

2023年，全球微注塑塑膠市場達到12億美元，預計到2031年將達到28億美元，2024-2031年預測期間複合年成長率為11.2%。

在預測期內，微注射技術的進步將成為推動市場成長的主要因素。 2023年11月，美國塑膠製造機械製造商Milacron宣布與工業自動化解決方案供應商FANUC合作推出新型全自動精密微注塑模型。

全球製造業的持續轉變很可能會為全球市場的未來成長帶來困難。作為最大的需求來源之一，中國的整體製造業成長近年來有所放緩，而印度等其他國家尚未全面加速。這將為微注塑塑膠市場帶來短暫的成長放緩。

動力學

全球汽車生產復甦

儘管面臨疫情挑戰，全球汽車產業仍恢復良好。國際汽車製造商組織（OICA）的產量資料顯示，2023年是疫情後的第一個全年，乘用車和商用車產量接近9,350萬輛，比上年增加10%。這種成長很大程度上歸功於電動車產量的激增。

汽車製造商目前正在用塑膠複合材料取代鋼和鋁合金，以減輕車輛重量並提高燃油經濟性。這一趨勢在電動車中得到了延續，汽車製造商尋求延長電池續航里程。消費者信心的整體改善導致汽車產量激增，這反過來又將產生對微型注塑塑膠的新需求。

生物相容性醫療設備的持續開發

吸取COVID-19大流行的教訓，許多醫療設備製造商加快了生物相容性塑膠的開發，以防止在緊急治療COVID-19患者時遇到的皮膚過敏和皮疹問題。新的微注射方法的進步也有助於加速新的生物相容性醫療設備的開發。

2023 年12 月，加拿大蒙特利爾大學的一個科學家團隊與Adaptiiv Medical Technologies Inc. 合作，發表了一篇研究論文，詳細介紹了用於近距離放射治療的間隙帽的開發，該間隙帽由生物相容性塑膠製成，並透過3D 列印和注塑成型。

營運和維護挑戰

微型注塑機是高度精密的設備，擁有數百種不同的精密零件。選擇投資這些機器的塑膠生產商必須為高資本支出做好預算，包括購買、安裝和維護。這些機器的循環時間要快得多，因此比其他傳統塑膠射出機消耗更多的能源。造成高成本的另一個因素是需要熟練的操作和維護人員。有些機器製造商甚至要求員工經過正式訓練後才可以操作注塑機。

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.

Segment Analysis

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.

Geographical Penetration

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.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

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.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

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.
