The global hot runners for packaging market size was USD 638.0 million in 2020. The market is projected to grow from USD 665.2 million in 2021 to USD 911.2 million in 2028 at a CAGR of 4.6% during the 2021-2028 period. The global impact of COVID-19 has been unprecedented and staggering, with Hot Runners for Packaging witnessing a positive impact on demand across all regions amid the pandemic. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a lower growth of 3.4% in 2020 as compared to the average year-on-year growth during 2017-2019.. The rise in CAGR is attributable to this market’s demand and growth, returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.


The hot runner system is an injection molding assembly that utilizes a heated manifold to possess plastic in a molten state. These heated plastics then travel from the molding machine nozzle through runners, i.e., internal channels. It is specifically utilized across food & beverage, agricultural products, health, medical & skincare industries and another industrial usage.


Key market participants are pushing product diversification and expanding into application size with production facilities across the globe. Additionally, with the growth of hot runners for packaging utilized in the packaging industry in emerging regions, the necessity for direct support at the local market has increased. This factor has fueled the global market growth. Additionally, technological development coupled with manufacturers’ strategic collaborations and the emergence of bulk packaging and thin-wall packaging concept is anticipated to maximize the shares.


COVID-19 Impact: Higher Consumption of Plastic Products to Boost Installation of Hot Runners for Packaging Market


The pandemic situation has rapidly evolved and is still impacting the supply chains. This situation  has paralyzed the economic activities across the regions. However, the global market observed moderate downfall attributed to lessening demand of plastic from customers and closed manufacturing facilities in the 1st and 2nd quarter of the year 2020.


It is probable to initiate resurgence in the future years as bottles, buckets, coffee pods, lids, cups (jars) have witnessed strong demand amidst the COVID-19 pandemic that in turn, has boosted the hot runners for packaging utilization across industries including, food & beverage, cosmetics, healthcare and others. Several organizations stated that the demand for plastic has risen for packaging groceries, healthcare & cosmetic products post COVID-19 pandemic effects. As a result, manufacturers are more focused on employee safety, raising the manufacturing capabilities in plastic injection molding. Thus, more these runners are installed across the countries.


Considering the aforesaid factors, hot runners' utilization for packaging provides robust opportunities for the manufacturers to manufacture modern systems.


LATEST TRENDS


Asia Pacific Hot Runners for Packaging Market Size


Development across Thin-Wall and Rigid Bulk Packaging to Propel Market Growth


Currently, the packaging sector is experiencing a robust growth rate. It is attributed to improved lifestyles specifically followed across developed and developing countries. Therefore, it is generating new opportunities for packaging manufacturers to target customers and complimenting the global market growth.


Additionally, several leading manufacturers emphasize on creating innovative packaging to stand out from the competitors. Thus brightening the global market prospects.

Therefore, the emergence of thin walls and rigid bulk packaging is projected to brighten the market prospects.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increased Demand for Plastic Products across Industries to Aid Market Growth


Currently, the enormous product variety of modern packaging technology makes plastics necessary. The demand for plastic is highly growing, coupled with modern plastic applications such as textile fibers, flexible packaging and others. The growing utilization of plastic trays, cups, PET bottles, and other products is gaining importance as a packaging solution for medicines, salad dressings, household cleaners and others across the U.S., India, China, Belgium and other countries. In accordance, manufacturers emphasize unique packaging and different-sized packs that stimulate the demand for plastics products with customized shapes and designs.


In the case of industrial utilization, plastics application is rising in industries including food & beverage, agricultural and medical, attributed to the number of benefits during the products’ shelf life. These industries are progressively utilizing plastic products that are molded in various product and packaging applications. This factor may propel the global hot runners for packaging market growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Maintainance Cost to Impede Market Growth


The utilization of these runners results in a complex injection molding process. More often than not, the manufacturers encounter the irregular maintenance of hot runners that degrade molded products’ quality, increasing the wastage. In accordance, part replacement requires precise measuring, reduced tolerances, patience and coordination amongst the experts. And owing to the limitations of manpower, it becomes a hefty task for the several manufacturers to provide high maintenance level and after-sale services.


Thus, these limitations are expected to challenge the market's growth in the forecast period. However, to overcome the same, companies are regularly maintaining the hot runners and increasing the temperature & applying shear favoring the temperature-sensitive polymers.


SEGMENTATION
