Metal injection molding market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period. The major growth drivers identified in the metal injection molding market that are driving the market growth include the increasing demand of market in the healthcare industry, and rising investment in the manufacturing and electronic sector, coupled with various technological advancements. In addition, the process is increasingly becoming popular in the medical and healthcare industry, owing to its ability to produce a high volume of precision components. For instance, in April 2021, Milacron Injection Molding & Extrusion announced a new addition to its all-electric offering via the FANUC Roboshot ALPHA-SiB series available through Milacron to molders across North America. The ALPHA-SiB series, 55, 110, 140, 165 and 240-ton models are now available with variations of injection capacity. The Special features have been specifically developed for applications such as Medical, LSR, Optics, Electrical Connectors, and Packaging.
The global metal injection molding market is segmented based on the material type, and end-user industry. Based on the type, the market is sub-divided into soft magnetic material, low alloy steel, and stainless steel. Based on the end-user industry, the market is sub-segmented into firearms and defense, industrial, consumer products, automotive, medical sector, and electric and electronics. Among the end user industry, the electric and electronics segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for small injection molding parts in the industry along with the rising demand for miniaturization of electronics devices. Metal injection molding are widely used in electronics and electric appliances, such as in sensors, components in ovens or dishwashers, plug connectors in kitchenware, and others, as the process reduced waste, limited production time, and elimination of other secondary operations.
Geographically, the global metal injection molding market is further segmented based on geography including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. The European region is expected to witness considerable growth over the forecast period. Increasing investment in automation and the aviation industry, along with the growing popularity of the 316L stainless steel, and ceramic injection molding in the production of healthcare devices especially meant for advanced drug delivery and invasive surgeries are propelling the market growth across the region. According to European Union in December 2021, the aviation sector directly & indirectly contributes $823 billion to the European economy, supporting 12.2 million jobs, which is around 3.3% of total employment and 4.1% of GDP in all of Europe.
The major companies serving the global metal injection molding market are ARC Group Worldwide, CMG Technologies, Dean Group International Ltd., Fours Industriels BMI SAS, and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, collaborations, partnerships, funding, and new product launches to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in November 2021, OCULUS Surgical entered into a partnership with ENGEL to provide leading-edge injection molding machinery to satisfy its new product development and precision production requirements. As part of OCULUS’ strategic plan the company serves its services in North and South American markets. The company also announced to add 55,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in South Florida. Post-partnership, the company has purchased an 85 US ton e-motion tie-bar-less machine and a 160 US ton e-victory hybrid two-shot production cell.
