Micro-molding Materials Market
                     Micro-molding Materials Market to Witness a Pronounce Growth During 2018 – 
2026
Molding is the process of manufacturing by shaping liquid or raw material using a rigid frame 
called a mold. Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting 
material into a mold. Injection molding can be carried out using materials such as metals, glass, 
elastomers, ceramics, and thermoplastic & thermosetting polymers. Micro-molding is defined as a 
unique injection molding process, which requires specialized molding machine capable of 
delivering uniform melt temperature, high injection speed and pressure, accurate shot control, and
ultrafine resolution using servo-electric drives and sophisticated controls. Micro-molding is a very 
specialized, precision injection molding technique geared specifically to mold micro-miniature 
components. It is one of the key technology for micro-manufacturing due to its mass production 
capability and relatively low production cost.

Micro-molding Materials Market Outlook – Rising Demand from Medical & Healthcare End-use
Segment to Fuel Market Growth
In the medical & healthcare industry, micro-molding is used to manufacture parts such as catheter
tips,  micro-optics,  sensors,  tubes,  and  implants.  Micro-molding  products  are  now  replacing
machining molding products at a high rate. The increasing trend of small devices combined with
increase  in number of  slightly  invasive surgeries  is  enhancing demand for micro parts  from
medical device manufacturers. The important factor for the increasing use of micro-molding than
machine molding is cost  savings. Micro-molding takes very less time to mold the parts and
consumes very less cost raw materials compared to machining, hence results in high cost savings.
Low awareness in emerging economies such as Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa is expected
to be one of the restraining factors for  growth of micro-molding materials  market  over the
forecast period. However, the scenario is expected to change in the near future, with key players
focusing on tapping into this highly lucrative market, especially in highly populous countries of
India and China. Rampant economic growth in these countries and burgeoning growth of end-use
industries would position these as key markets in the not-so-distant future. Some of the major
companies operating in the global micro-molding materials market are Precimold Inc, Accumold,
Micromold  Inc,  Stack  Plastics,  American  Precision  Products,  ALC  Precision,  Micromolding
Solutions,  Micro  Precision  Products,  American  Precision  Products,  Stamm,  Makuta  Technics,
Sovrin Plastics, Rolla AG, and Rapidwerks.
