These plastics are preferred in packaging applications over other conventional materials such as glass
and wood. Growth of packaging industry has been the key factor expected to drive injection molded
plastics market over the past few years and the trend is expected to continue over the forecast period.
Increasing application scope of injection molded plastics in automobiles coupled with rapid growth in
automotive sector is anticipated to surge the market growth over the projected period. However,
volatile price of crude oil is anticipated to hinder the market growth over the next five years.
Raw materials Insights
Some raw materials used in this molding process include polypropylene, polystyrene, acrylonitrile
butadiene styrene (ABS) and high density polyethylene among others. Polypropylene has been the
major raw material used for injection molded plastics over the past decade on account of its favorable
properties such as lightweight and superior flexibility. Plastics manufactured with ABS as raw material is
widely consumed in the production of automobile bumpers owing to its recyclable property.
Growth of automobiles demand across the emerging nations such as India, China and Brazil is further
expected to complement the market growth over the forecast period. High density polyethylene is
anticipated to be the third major raw materials used in manufacturing injection molded plastics. These
plastics have been replacing the application of conventional packaging materials such as wood and glass.
Increasing application demand from packaging industry is anticipated to fuel the market growth over the
next five years.
