“Global Hot Runner Systems Market to reach a market value of USD 4.7 Billion by 2031 growing at a CAGR of 6.3%”
The Global Hot Runner Systems Market size is expected to reach $4.7 billion by 2031, rising at a market growth of 6.3% CAGR during the forecast period.
North America is a hub for technological advancements and innovation in manufacturing processes. The adoption of these systems is part of a broader trend towards advanced manufacturing technologies that improve efficiency, quality, and productivity. Consequently, this region would acquire nearly 30% of the total market share by 2031.
Plastic products find applications across various industries, including automotive, electronics, packaging, consumer goods, healthcare, and construction. Many modern plastic parts are becoming increasingly complex in design, requiring intricate molds that can only be efficiently produced using advanced molding technologies like these systems. Thus, increasing demand for plastic products is driving the market's growth.
Additionally, these systems significantly minimize material waste compared to cold runner systems. In cold runners, the runner (the channel through which molten plastic flows) remains solidified after each injection cycle, leading to material waste that must be recycled or discarded. These systems generally offer faster cycle times compared to cold runners. Hence, their advantages over cold runner systems are propelling the market's growth.
However, the upfront cost of installing these systems is generally higher compared to traditional cold runner systems. In addition, due to the integrated heating elements, runners, and temperature control systems, hot runner molds are more complex and sophisticated than cold runner molds. In conclusion, the high initial investment is hindering the market's growth.
On the basis of application, the market is segmented into automotive & transportation, electronic, medical, packaging, consumer goods, and others. The packaging segment attained 20% share in the market in 2023. These systems eliminate the need for sprues and runners, which reduces plastic waste. This material efficiency is especially important in the packaging industry, where cost savings and sustainability are critical.
Based on process, the market is divided into valve gate hot runner and open gate hot runner. The open-gate hot runner segment procured 40% revenue share in the market in 2023. Open gate hot runners are generally less expensive to manufacture and maintain than valve gate systems. This cost-effectiveness makes them an attractive option for manufacturers, particularly those with budget constraints or who do not require the high-precision valve gates offer.
