Market Definition
Metal injection molding (MIM) technology is used for the production of metal products. During the procedure injection molding’s design is combined with the strength and reliability of wrought metals for providing cost-effective resolves for very complex geometries of parts. The metal injection molding (MIM) process can produce both large and small volumes of complex shapes with all available materials. Several steps are involved in the process of metal injection molding such as preparing the feedstock, injection molding, binder removal, and others.
Asia-Pacific Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Technical advancements and enhanced designs
The metal injection molding procedure helps to achieve the highest precision in the end product regardless of the complexity of its design due to several technological advancements and enhanced designs in metal injection molding. Metal injection molding enables the production of components with several tolerances. Along with this, the design of metal molding injection is very flexible in comparison to traditional techniques due to which consumers are widely using it, which drives the market’s growth.
- Consumes less time and is cost efficient
For the complete functioning and result metal injection molding (MIM) technique consumes very less time and is cost-efficient in contrast to traditional manufacturing methods which widely meet the consumer's demand. Along with this, it reduces the product development cycle and reduces or eliminates the use of expensive multistage machining operations, due to which it is preferred by most consumers, which is driving the market’s growth.
Opportunities
- Growing use of firearms
Metal injection molding is widely used for developing innovative defense equipment which is complex in shape and heavyweight. Along with this metal injection molding is extensively used in the firearms industry for the manufacturing of varied firearms which are required in the defence and other industries. Along with this metal injection molding technology is used for obstructing the trigger from firing, and it shields the hammer from impacting which boots the market’s growth.
- Growing demand for stainless steel
There is a growing demand for stainless steel due to the rising demand for steel products in the Asia-Pacific region which requires metal injection molding for manufacturing. The demand for stainless steel products is increasing due to the surging demand from the automotive industry owing to the complexity and high strength properties of stainless steel which further increases the demand for metal injection molding. Along with this metal injection technology is widely used for the production of stainless steel which is further used as electronic systems, engines, and locking mechanisms can which boosts the market’s growth.
Restraints/Challenges
- Expensive for small production units
The production of metal injection molding is very expensive for small production units. The feedstock used in metal injection technology such as metal powders and thermoplastic binders is very costly than feedstock used in other metallurgical procedures such as conventional powder metallurgy. Along with this, the procedure comprises relatively high tooling cost that makes this technology which makes it a major restraint hindering the market’s growth.
- Fluctuations in raw materials
The cost of the raw materials used in metal injection molding often fluctuates. Some of the materials used in metal injection molding are stainless steel, low alloy steel, carbon steel, magnetic alloys, soft magnetic alloy, cobalt alloy, zirconia, and alumina. The costs of all these materials change relatively due to the mining or extraction, accessibility, and demand of materials in the market which can most of the time lead to high prices due to people preferring other alternatives which hinders the market’s growth.
