Market Segmentation
The growth of the injection-molded plastics industry is directly proportional to the growth of the automotive industry, and it is their dominating end-use segment. The growth in the automotive industry, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, has stabilized the global market and paved the way for the injection-molded plastics industry to grow. Furthermore, with rising technological innovations in automotive components, thermoplastic elastomers, and other injection-molded plastics, the automobile industry has developed new applications for the injection-molded plastics market. Moreover, the industry-wide need for lightweight materials has led toward plastic’s exploration as a viable alternative for the formerly used steel auto components. Consequently, the market is anticipated to grow further over the forecast period.
Injection molded plastics find applications in varied markets; however, it is primarily utilized in construction, packaging and automotive industries. This is attributed to the growing demand for injection molded products in these industries, specifically in the Asia Pacific and Latin America regions. In the building and construction industry, injection molded plastics have become a popular choice for applications such as flooring, roofing, insulation, walls, doors, and windows. Their use in this sector provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional materials.
China stands as a major player in the production and consumption of these plastics, with the global market’s expansion closely linked to China’s own industry growth. Factors such as rising income levels and an improving standard of living among China’s large and growing population further fuel this market growth. As living standards rise, so does the demand for quality construction materials like injection molded plastics. This trend is not only observed in China but is a global phenomenon, contributing to the overall growth of the injection molded plastics industry.
While the global injection molded plastics market is growing, it faces significant challenges due to the environmental impact associated with its production. Plastics, derived from crude oil, emit substantial amounts of toxic gases during production and combustion, contributing to global carbon dioxide emissions. These emissions are on the rise, particularly in developing countries undergoing rapid industrialization.
China, a major player in the global market, is also one of the largest emitters of carbon dioxide. This is largely due to the country’s swift infrastructure development and industrialization, with industries such as construction, transportation, and chemicals expanding rapidly.
In 2020, developed countries like the U.S. managed to reduce their emissions, largely due to government environmental policies. However, China’s CO2 emissions reached a staggering 10.32 billion tons in 2012, accounting for nearly 29% of global emissions.
In response to these environmental concerns, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has recommended using coal as a feedstock for petrochemicals instead of naphtha and natural gas, given its lower CO2 emissions. The IEA also advocates for countries to reduce fossil-fuel subsidies and adopt more energy-efficient production methods. These recommendations aim to mitigate the environmental impact of industries like injection molded plastics.
