The regional growth is attributed to the technological advancement in the medical industry, increasing demand in the automotive sector, and presence of major market players such as Accumold LLC, Precimold Inc., and Paragon Medical.  

Global Micro Injection Molded Plastic  Market Growth, by Region 2022-2028

Global Micro Injection Molded Plastic Market Growth, by Region

The Asia-Pacific Region is estimated to Hold the Prominent Share in the Global Micro Injection Molded Plastic Market.

The Asia-Pacific is likely to hold the prominent share in global micro injection molded plastic market due to increased use of injection molded plastic in automotive, medical and construction industry. The increasing economic growth in Asia-Pacific region and consumer inclination towards efficient and smart buildings have forced manufacturers to develop high-performance products forconstruction industry. China, India, and Japan are the kay countries contributing in the growth of the market due to increasing manufacturing facilities along with increased population. For instance, in January 2020, Victrex announced the joint venture between its subsidiary, Victrex Hong Kong and Xingfu Chemical Co. to operate a new PEEK polymer manufacturing unit in Liaoning, China. PEEK is a type of plastic which is used in micro injection molding and contains physical properties such as flexural strength and tensile strength even at high tempetaures. 

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global micro injection molded plastic market include Accu-Mold LLC, Isometric Micro Molding., Knightsbridge Plastics Inc., Makuta, Inc., Microdyne Plastics Inc., Microsystems UK, MTD Micro Molding, Otto Männer GmbH, Polymermedics Ltd., SMC Ltd. and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in January 2021 Springboard Manufacturing, acquired Stack Plastics to continue its growth as a medical products custom injection molder. The acquisition allows Spingboard to further enter in the medical products market with addition of micromolding. The joint business has the production units in California and Indiana with over 130 injection molding presses extending from 25 tons to 1300 tons.
