Injection Molding Machine Market Industry Trends Shaping Future Revenue Growth
Leading companies within the injection molding machine market are emphasizing product innovations, such as hybrid injection molding machines, to enhance their market presence. A hybrid injection molding machine is a type that combines characteristics from both hydraulic and electric injection molding machines. This particular design aims to capitalize on the strengths of both technologies, aspiring to achieve improved energy efficiency, precision, and overall operational effectiveness. For example, in February 2023, Sumitomo Heavy Industries Ltd. (SHI), a Japan-based machinery manufacturer, unveiled the 20-ton iM18E compact hybrid injection molding machine. Engineered specifically for molding connectors, precision gears, and various other electronic parts, the iM18E boasts a maximum injection speed of 600 mm/sec. Its electric plasticizing unit includes a low-inertia servomotor and a hydraulic direct-pressure clamp. The iM18E’s shot-to-shot weight variance is minimized to roughly one-third that of a comparable hydraulic machine governed by the ISCII direct-drive system, and its hybrid configuration uses 50% less power than identical hydraulic machinery.
