The medical injection molding market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $27.32 billion in 2025 to $29.42 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in medical device production volumes, rising demand for disposable medical products, expansion of healthcare infrastructure, increasing use of plastic components in medical equipment, growing emphasis on sterile manufacturing processes.
The medical injection molding market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $38.32 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for advanced medical devices, increasing focus on cost-efficient mass production, expanding pharmaceutical and drug delivery markets, growing adoption of minimally invasive procedures, rising regulatory emphasis on product consistency and quality. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for high-precision plastic components in medical devices, increasing adoption of injection-molded disposable medical consumables, rising use of medical injection molding for complex and miniaturized parts, expansion of injection molding applications in pharmaceutical delivery devices, growing preference for scalable and high-volume medical manufacturing.
The growing demand for medical equipment is anticipated to drive the medical injection molding market in the coming years. Medical equipment includes devices, instruments, machines, or implants used in healthcare settings to diagnose, treat, monitor, or prevent medical conditions. Demand for medical equipment has increased due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, the expansion of healthcare infrastructure, and the need to upgrade medical device systems. Medical injection molding enables the efficient and accurate manufacturing of complex medical device components for a wide range of healthcare applications. This production process plays a critical role in delivering high-quality and dependable parts that comply with strict medical regulations. For instance, in July 2024, according to the American Hospital Association, a US-based non-profit hospital organization, the United States imported $14.9 billion worth of medical equipment as of May 2, 2024, compared with $14 billion during the same period in 2023, indicating a year-on-year rise in equipment imports to support patient care. Therefore, the increasing demand for medical equipment is fueling the growth of the medical injection molding market.
Leading companies in this market are focusing on electric injection molding machines tailored for cleanroom environments. These machines ensure the precise, contamination-free production of medical components meeting high-quality and hygiene standards. For instance, in March 2024, Shibaura Machine Company introduced the EC110SXIII machine, featuring an all-electric design with plated platens, stainless steel guarding, and NFS H1-certified lubrication grease. Such advancements enhance cleanliness, precision, efficiency, durability, and versatility, catering to the stringent requirements of medical injection molding.
In August 2023, DuPont acquired Spectrum Plastics Group for $1.75 billion, bolstering its global presence and product portfolio in the medical device industry.
