자동차 사출 성형 자동화 시장 : 기회, 성장 요인, 업계 동향 분석 및 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Automotive Injection Molding Automation Market was valued at USD 1.73 Billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% to reach USD 2.64 Billion by 2034.

The rising adoption of automation in manufacturing is driven by the need for higher productivity, consistent quality, and reduced reliance on manual labor. Robotic handling, automated quality checks, and integrated molding systems are helping manufacturers minimize defects, shorten cycle times, and enhance efficiency throughout production. This trend is increasingly evident among Tier-1 suppliers and OEM assembly plants worldwide. The growth of electric vehicles (EVs) has accelerated demand for lightweight, precise, and heat-resistant plastic components. Automated injection molding enables the production of complex components with high repeatability and dimensional accuracy. Incorporating AI, IoT, and machine learning in molding operations allows real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and process optimization. Smart factories leveraging connected automation cells are driving data-based decision-making, reducing downtime, and minimizing material waste, further strengthening demand for automation across automotive injection molding processes.

The interior component segment generated USD 1.73 Billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% from 2025 to 2034. Demand for lightweight, durable, and precise interior components is rising, especially with the growth of EVs and advanced infotainment systems. Automated production lines deliver dashboards, panels, and consoles with high throughput, low scrap rates, and consistent quality, enhancing passenger comfort while reducing production costs.

The robotic automation segment captured a 32% share in 2024. Robotic systems integrated with pick-and-place, insert loading, and stacking processes improve efficiency, reduce human intervention, enhance repeatability, and shorten cycle times. The adoption of robotics is expanding in both developed and emerging markets due to labor cost pressures and the need for high-volume production.

U.S. Automotive Injection Molding Automation Market held 86.4% share in 2024. The shift to electric and hybrid vehicles is driving the use of automation for battery housings, connectors, and electronic enclosures. Automation ensures repeated precision, dimensional accuracy, and repeatability, enabling OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers to meet stringent quality standards while efficiently producing high-volume parts.

Key players in the Automotive Injection Molding Automation Market include KUKA, Sumitomo (SHI-Demag), ENGEL, Haitian, ARBURG, FANUC, KraussMaffei, Wittmann Battenfeld, and Nissei Plastic Industrial. Companies in the Automotive Injection Molding Automation Market are leveraging innovation, technological integration, and strategic partnerships to strengthen their market position. They invest in R&D to enhance robotic systems, AI-driven quality controls, and smart factory solutions. Collaborations with OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers help expand reach and integrate solutions directly into production lines. Firms are also focusing on modular automation systems to cater to diverse manufacturing needs and offer scalable solutions. Digitalization and IoT integration improve process monitoring and predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs. Additionally, companies emphasize customer support, training programs, and after-sales services to enhance client trust.
