Report Highlights

The hot runner system held the largest market share of over 55% in 2020 and is expected to exhibit the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. Hot sprinter molds consist of two plates, which are heated using a complex framework. This framework maintains the temperature of liquid thermoplastics at the same level as their warming chamber. As a result, the demand for the hot runner system is high.

Moreover, several benefits of hot runner system including faster cycle time and lower pressure requirement to push the molten mixture into the mold cavity, as well as the elimination of waste due to the absence of runners, accommodation of larger parts with a higher volume of production, and improvement in consistency & quality of parts, are augmenting the segment growth.

The use of cold runner system depends on its advantages, such as easy maintenance and cost-effectiveness; it is suitable for various types of polymers. This system is a feasible option as it can produce higher quality parts. Therefore, the application of cold runner systems is growing at a significant rate owing to lower initial investments compared with other systems.

Furthermore, the growing penetration of plastic injection molded products in the medical industry is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.

The plastic material segment in the medical industry accounted for 76.0% of the overall revenue share in 2020. Engineering-grade plastic resins are beneficial when used for the manufacturing of medical and pharmaceutical products as they have high tensile strength, metal tolerance, and temperature resistance. Furthermore, they also reduce waste, weight, and the overall cost of production.

Plastic injection molding is a feasible technique for manufacturing complicated designs of medical products. Demand for medical-grade injection-molded products is increasing as they are durable, naturally resistant to contaminants & chemicals, and offer economies of scale to large-scale firms. As a result, the penetration of the material is expected to witness significant growth.

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is suitable for the manufacturing of intricate, small, and precision metal components required by the medical industry. The MIM process uses a combination of thermoplastic and powder metallurgy injection molding. Moreover, it is more cost-effective than other conventional fabrication methods since it lowers raw material usage, workforce, and inventory costs.

Products manufactured using this process also tend to display better mechanical properties that are superior to other Powder Metal (PM) parts & castings. As a result, the demand for injection molded metal components is growing across the globe. However, the risk of corrosion, large amounts of wastage, and difficulty in producing complicated medical parts are some factors impeding the segment growth.

Asia Pacific dominated the global market with a revenue share of over 38% in 2020. The region is also projected to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Major factors contributing to the market growth in the Asia Pacific include growing population, expanding healthcare infrastructures, the increasing number of people opting for home care facilities, and rising medical tourism in the region.

North America accounted for 23.8% of the global revenue in 2020. The rapid spread of the coronavirus in the region is expected to drive the demand for numerous medical devices over the forecast period. Post-COVID-19 pandemic, the government authorities are expected to invest more in healthcare infrastructure development. This is also expected to drive the demand for medical devices and medical injection molding. The demand for medical components is expected to witness growth in Mexico on account of the rising geriatric population and cases of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs), metabolic disorders, and respiratory diseases.
