Global market plastics for injection molding

A new Ceresana study examines the global market for plastics for injection molding. In 2015, about 54% of the plastics used for injection molding were consumed in the region Asia-Pacific; North America and Western Europe followed with market shares of 15.4% and 14.3%.
The most important sales market for injection molded products is the packaging industry which mainly protects food: containers, cans, mugs, bowls, boxes, and closures of any kind. Packaging made of plastics offers numerous advantages over other materials. Besides their low weight and a reduced fracture susceptibility, plastic packaging can profit in some segments from its transparency or resistance against chemicals.
