Market Dynamics
Driver: Utilization for insert molding and over-molding applications
In a vertical injection molding machine, it is easier to place the inserts or molding parts into the mold with less probability of misalignment. Both insert molding and over-molding cycles require finished product to be taken out after molding. With horizontal injection molding machine, this becomes difficult as it is against gravity. This increases the chances of damaged products. Therefore, for insert moldings and over-moldings vertical injection molding machines are preferred to produce precise finished products.
Restraints: High set-up and maintenance cost
A fully automatic vertical injection molding machine consists of a robotic system which helps in extracting the finished molds after the molding process. Due to high complexities and technological innovations, these systems are costlier than traditional vertical injection molding machine. In addition, it will also require a skilled man force to run the process efficiently. All these factors add up to the production cost resulting in high-cost final product.
Opportunities: Increasing medical injection molding industry
Plastic injection molding is a cost-effective and efficient means of making high-precision, high-accuracy, and high-quality medical and pharmaceutical products. From medical devices and equipment to laboratory tools and testing instruments, it's utilized to make components. Plastics are now widely used in modern industrial processes, due to advancements in material manufacturing techniques and technology. One of the major applications of vertical injection molding machines is in medical industry. The machines are widely used to produce medical molds with insert moldings and over-moldings. Development in medical injection molding industry will also grow the vertical injection molding machine market.
Challenges: Finished parts maybe damaged during removal by robots
In a horizontal molding machine, after the molding process the finished molds automatically fall out of the mold and are easily collected for further processing. But in case of vertical injection molding machine, since the process is carried on a vertical axis, the finished mold needs to be removed either by robots or manually to continue the next molding process. With the technological advancement, companies are now developing robotic systems to extract these molds to reduce the cycle time. However, during the extraction of these finished molds, there is high probability of these molds to sustain damage which could incur loss.
“Hydraulic was the largest machine type of vertical injection molding machine market in 2021, in terms of value”
The hydraulic vertical injection molding machine market accounted for the largest share, in terms of value, in 2021. This dominance is expected to continue during the forecast period owing to its enhanced performance and low maintenance cost. Also, the increasing demand from end-use industries such as automotive, consumer goods, and packaging is fueling the growth of the vertical hydraulic vertical injection molding machine market.
“Automotive was the largest application for vertical injection molding machine market in 2021, in terms of value”
The automotive application segment accounted for the largest share of the global vertical injection molding machine market, in terms of value, in 2021. The demand for vertical injection molding machines in the automotive application is expected to increase mainly because of the rise in vehicle production in APAC.
“Asia Pacific was the largest market for vertical injection molding machine in 2021, in terms of value.”
Asia Pacific is the largest vertical injection molding machine market and is projected to register the highest CAGR, in terms of volume, between 2022 and 2030. Economic growth in the region has led to high internal trade and domestic transportation of commodities and supplies. China and Japan are some of the largest automobile producers globally. These countries are competing to manufacture technologically advanced vehicles and are investing heavily in their research and development to develop high-precision parts. Furthermore, the boom of the electric vehicles market is further fueling the demand for automotive parts. This has increased the number of on-road commercial vehicles, thus driving the vertical injection molding machine market.
