Plastics Processing Machinery: A Global Strategic Business Report

San Jose, California (PRWEB) May 23, 2014

Follow us on LinkedIn - Encouraged by steady economic growth and increasing disposable income particularly in developing countries, demand for plastics processing machinery (PPM) is projected to witness strong growth. Steady improvement in global GDP is poised to benefit consumption of plastic resins. Packaging, construction, consumer and institutional sectors represent major application areas for plastics particularly in developing nations. Future growth in the market is forecast to come from developing Asian and Eastern regions. China is currently a veritable powerhouse of plastic processing activity. Chinese manufacturers corner a bulk of the global production of plastic injection molding machines. The United States is witnessing a rising trend toward reshoring of lower-labor applications in plastics and rubber production, with the move substantially benefitting the domestic market for injection molding machinery.

Advancements in plastics processing technologies such as servo-hydraulic designs and all-electric drives are enhancing production efficiency and optimizing energy consumption of PPM. Screw designs of plastic extrusion machinery have constantly been an area of attention for achieving high productivity. In addition, downstream plastic processing industry is witnessing a growing trend towards integrating automation and robotics into injection and blow molding machinery in a bid to enhance productivity, reduce cycle time, reduce costs and conserve energy throughout the production chain. New models of thermoforming machines are capable of manufacturing large components with deep drawings. Also, increasing demand for small- and micro-sized medical devices and components as a result of the growing popularity of minimally-invasive surgeries is expected to boost growth in the thermoplastic micro-injection molding equipment market. The telecommunications sector is emerging as another major application area for polymer micro injection molding, with the technique being used for the production of micro connectors utilized in fiber optic cables.

As stated by the new market research report on Plastics Processing Machinery, Asia-Pacific represents the largest regional market worldwide. Latin America is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 9.4% over the analysis period. Brazil represents an emerging market for new injection molding machinery, with high-end machines accounting for about a quarter of the overall demand. A large portion of demand for injection molding machinery comes from the automotive and packaging industries.
