Global Plastics Processing Machinery Market to Reach US$41.9 Billion by 2032

Industry Experts, Inc. has unveiled its latest market research report, "Plastics Processing Machinery - A Global Market Overview", estimating that worldwide revenues will rise from US$28.6 billion in 2025 to US$41.9 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 5.6% during 2025 to 2032. Growth is supported by robust demand from packaging, automotive, construction, and consumer goods, ongoing innovation in all-electric and hybrid machines, and the need to produce lighter and more durable plastic components for vehicles, medical devices, and e-commerce packaging.

Rising automation and Industry 4.0 capabilities are improving precision, throughput, and energy efficiency while reducing scrap and downtime. In parallel, sustainability and circular economy initiatives are accelerating investments in equipment that can process recycled and bio-based materials, integrate in-line quality control, and enable faster changeovers. Headwinds persist, including raw material price volatility, complex and evolving environmental regulations, high upfront capital outlays, skilled labor shortages, and geopolitical uncertainties that can delay capex decisions.

Regionally, Asia-Pacific leads with a 40.2% share in 2025 and will also grow the fastest at a 6.7% CAGR through 2032, powered by large clusters of molders and converters in China, India, and Southeast Asia, rapid urbanization and retail modernization, strong automotive and electronics manufacturing, and widespread replacement of older hydraulic machines with energy-efficient electric and hybrid systems.

By machine type, Injection Molding Machinery commands about 46% share in 2025, reflecting unmatched versatility for high-volume parts across automotive, packaging, electronics, healthcare, and consumer goods. Thermoforming Machinery is projected to grow the fastest at a 6.1% CAGR, lifted by food packaging expansion, e-commerce, hygiene trends, and compatibility with recyclable and bio-based materials. By automation, Automatic systems lead with 53.7% share in 2025 and will also post the fastest 7.8% CAGR, as robotics, closed-loop controls, and in-line inspection become standard for quality, traceability, and labor efficiency.

By plastic type, Polyethylene holds the largest share at 28.3% in 2025 due to its cost effectiveness and broad use in film, sheet, pipe, blow-molded containers, and injection parts. Polyethylene Terephthalate will be the fastest growing at a 6.5% CAGR, supported by beverage and food packaging, rPET supply chain expansion, and policies that encourage circular packaging. By end use, Packaging is the largest sector with a 36% share in 2025, while Healthcare and Medical will expand the fastest at a 6.4% CAGR, driven by clean-room molding, disposables, diagnostics, and device miniaturization.

The report segments the global Plastics Processing Machinery market by machine type (blow molding, compression molding, extrusion, injection molding, rotational molding, thermoforming), automation type (manual, semi-automatic, automatic), plastic type (PE, PET, PP, PS, PUR, PVC, others), and end-use sector (automotive, construction, consumer goods, electronics and electricals, healthcare and medical, packaging). Geographic coverage spans North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and the Middle East and Africa, with analysis of 30 plus companies including ARBURG, ENGEL, Haitian, Husky, KraussMaffei, Milacron, JSW, Sumitomo, Brückner Group, Reifenhäuser, SACMI, Kautex, Wittmann Battenfeld, and Davis-Standard.
