Impact Analysis of Covid-19
The complete version of the Report will include the impact of the COVID-19, and anticipated change on the future outlook of the industry, by taking into the account the political, economic, social, and technological parameters.
Injection-molded plastics is a manufacturing process used to produce various plastic products by using injecting molten material. Mostly thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic is used for the production of plastic products such as automotive parts, electronic appliances, packaging products, construction material, medical disposable syringes, toys, etc.
The global injection molded plastics market is projected to surpass US$ 400 billion by the end of 2027, in terms of revenue, growing at CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period (2020 to 2027).
Drivers
Expansion of the housewares market around the globe is a prime factor propelling the market growth of the injection molded plastics. Injection-molded plastics are used to produce various housewares products such as beverage ware, cookware, dinnerware, bake ware, flatware, and cutlery. The growth of the housewares market is also attributed to increasing population around the globe. Thus the growth of the housewares market is expected to foster the market growth of injection molded plastics.
Growth in the plastic packaging market is projected to augment the market growth of the injection molded plastics. Plastic packaging is one of the largest user of injection molded plastics. The rise in the demand for food packaging and other industrial packaging is driving demand for plastic packaging, especially across developing countries. Hence, growth in the plastic packaging market is accelerating the market growth of the injection molded plastics.
Regionally, Asia-pacific dominated the global injection molded plastics market in 2019, reporting 36% market share in terms of revenue, followed by North America and Europe, respectively.
