Worldwide Injection Molded Plastics Market 2014 to 2020 – Industry Survey
The global market for injection molded plastics is expected to reach USD 277.78 billion by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing demand for plastic as a packaging material coupled with the growing packaging industry in Asia is expected to be a key factor driving market demand over the next six years. In addition, the growing need for weight reduction in automobiles is also expected to augment the demand for plastics as a substitute to metal which in turn is expected to increase the demand for injection molded ABS and polypropylene. Volatile crude oil prices coupled with growing environmental concerns is expected to be a key issue for market participants.

Packaging was the largest application segment of the market, accounting for over 30,000 kilo tons of demand in 2013. Growing preference towards plastics as packaging materials owing to their light weight and better aesthetics is expected to be a key factor driving the market over the forecast period.

The report “Injection Molded Plastics Market (Polypropylene, ABS, HDPE, Polystyrene) Analysis By Application (Packaging, Consumables and Electronics, Automotive, Building and Construction) And Segment Forecasts To 2020,” is available now to Grand View Research customers and can also be purchased directly at http://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/embedded-system-market

Further key findings from the study suggest:

• Global injection molded plastics market demand was 92,312 kilo tons in 2013 and is expected to reach 130,139.7 kilo tons by 2020, growing at a CAGR 5.0 % from 2014 to 2020.
• Asia Pacific was the largest regional market for injection molded plastics, with market revenue of USD 70.18 billion in 2013. In addition, Asia Pacific is expected to witness fastest growth in demand, at an estimated CAGR of 5.4% from 2014 to 2020, owing to the increasing automotive and construction industry in the region
• Polypropylene was the highest injection molded resin,

    However; the most complicated plastic shapes required injection molding. Husky applied this technique exclusively for its equipment. By focusing solely on this technique, Husky was able to perfect its injection molding systems and incorporate upgrades such as hot runners, which improved the quality of parts and reduced resin waste. Injection molding techniques were typically categorized by the force they could exert as this affected the type of product that could be manufactured. Husky focused on sales in the medium tonnage classification (150 – 900 tonnes), which were designed for PET preform and thinwall applications. Small-tonnage machines were excluded in its product mix as these machines are used for commodity products produced by assembly lines. The majority of large-tonnage machines were excluded which enabled Husky to keep costs down and focus on its core competency. This proved to be advantageous, as the market for injection molding equipment for the PET packaging application increased from $346 million in 1993 to $755 million in 1995 and was expected to increase to $1153 million in 1998. By focusing its resources on PET packaging applications, Husky was able to establish a first mover advantage for this particular application. Large capital expenditures and the need for reliable equipment, likely increased switching costs for customers. As a result, Husky’s reputation as durable…

    INTRODUCTION The basic technical and financial parameters of a project on the manufacture PET preforms by injection moulding PET bottle grade resin are described in this profile. This is the first stage in the two stage PET bottle manufacturing process suitable for large scale production and here the pet preform is molded on an injection moulding machine, then in the second stage the preform is reheated and blown on a blow moulding machine. The advantages of PET bottles include exceptional clarity, pure, safe, good barrier to oxygen, carbon dioxide and water, lightweight and therefore less shipping costs, no leakage, design flexibility, recyclable, long shelf life, good chemical resistance etc. MARKET The consumption of PET bottles is increasing on account of new customers being created for bottled beverages as well as an increasing number of products being replaced with PET bottles. The per capita consumption of PET is very low in India at 0.3 kg vis-à-vis the global average of 2 kg. This shows that there is a significant growth opportunity for PET bottles in India. In 2010, the PET resin demand was 5 lakh tpa and the demand has been growing at 7.5% per annum. In the bottled water industry itself there is a great demand for PET bottles. PET preforms can be used for Packaging of Mineral Water, Juices, Liquor, Soda, Sparkling Drinks, Edible Oil, Pharma Products, Pickles, Squashes, FMCG Products etc. MANUFACTURING PROCESS PET granules received from suppliers are dried in a dehumidifier. The PET granules are then mixed with colorants. Then the material is fed into the injection moulding hopper. The material is plasticized and is injection moulded in a mould which can produce 12-72 preforms in a…
