The Global Injection Molding Machine Market was valued at USD 10.4 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% to reach USD 16.5 billion by 2034.
Market growth is propelled by the increasing demand for lightweight and high-performance plastic components across key manufacturing sectors. Industries are shifting toward materials that enhance efficiency and cut down on operational costs. In transportation and aerospace, for instance, lighter parts translate into better fuel economy and reduced emissions. Injection molding machines play a critical role here, offering precision and repeatability in producing complex parts that are both durable and lightweight. As end-use applications become more design-intensive, manufacturers are turning to machines that offer higher precision, faster cycle times, and compatibility with newer polymers. The growing emphasis on flawless output and rapid delivery has made newer-generation machines an essential upgrade. Companies are now investing in advanced technologies that can handle intricate molds and varied materials, ensuring reliable performance and minimized defects. The trend toward using complex, lightweight materials continues to shape the demand for cutting-edge injection molding machinery, making it a fundamental part of modern manufacturing strategies.
The hydraulic injection molding machines segment reached USD 5.2 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% through 2034. These machines remain favored for producing larger and heavier components due to their reliability and lower initial cost. Although their growth is moderate, they still hold a strong position due to widespread usage. However, electric injection molding machines are gaining traction, offering benefits like improved energy efficiency, higher accuracy, reduced noise levels, and lower maintenance requirements, which appeal to manufacturers focused on sustainability and operational efficiency.
The plastic materials segment held a 32% share in 2024 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2025 to 2034. The continued dominance of plastic is tied to its versatility, ease of molding, and rising demand across applications like consumer goods, packaging, and automotive components. Its lightweight nature and cost-effectiveness make it the go-to choice in industries where product design and mass production play a critical role in profitability.
U.S. Injection Molding Machine Market held a 76% share and generated USD 2.15 billion in 2024. The growth in this region is closely linked to industries such as healthcare, automotive, and packaging that are shifting toward lightweight, precision plastic parts.
