For 2025, several key trends and innovations emerge that will shape the future of the industry. The plastics injection molding is undergoing a significant transformation driven by technological innovations, sustainability needs and changing market dynamics.
Let’s look at them together.
Growth of the injection molding market
According to an analysis by Mordor Intelligence, the global market for plastics injection molding is set to grow from 156.43 million tons in 2025 to 192.34 million tons by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.22 percent.
This expansion is driven by demand in sectors such as automotive, electronics, and packaging and consumer goods.
Innovations in materials: bioplastics and lightweight composites
The push toward sustainability is leading to an increase in the use of bioplastics e lightweight composite materials.
Bioplastics, in particular, are gaining attention for their biodegradability and reduced environmental impact. Global production of bioplastics is expected to triple by 2026, meeting the growing demand for environmentally friendly solutions.
In parallel, the use of lightweight composites is increasing, especially in the transportation sector, to reduce material and energy consumption.
Automation and Industry 4.0
The adoption of advanced automation and principles ofIndustry 4.0 has revolutionized manufacturing processes. The integration of IoT systems, advanced robotics and real-time data analysis enables greater efficiency and improved product quality.
For example, the use of robotic arms in injection molding makes it possible to integrate to molding, assembly activities, quality control and orderly packaging, optimizing the production process.
Customization and rapid prototyping
Demand for customized products is growing, especially in the automotive, medical and electronics sectors.
Technologies such as rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing are becoming essential in addressing these needs, enabling companies to offer tailored solutions and accelerate time-to-market.
