GLOBAL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The global plastic injection moulding machinery industry is experiencing steady growth in F.Y. 2024 25, supported by rising demand across sectors such as automotive, healthcare, packaging, and electronics. Asia-Pacific remains the leading market, driven by rapid industrialization and expanding manufacturing bases, while North America and Europe show consistent growth backed by automation and environmental regulations. Emerging markets in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East are also contributing to the industrys expansion as manufacturing infrastructure develops.

Global GDP growth in F.Y. 2024 25 remained moderate, at approximately 3.0%, as per IMF estimates. While inflationary pressures eased in most economies, policy uncertainty, trade tensions, and geopolitical conflicts continued to pose risks to business sentiment and investment cycles. The transition to cleaner energy, digital transformation, and ongoing supply chain realignments remained major macro themes.

Technological innovation is playing a central role, with increased adoption of energy-efficient, all-electric machines and the integration of Industry 4.0 features such as IoT, real-time monitoring, and smart automation. Additionally, there is a growing shift toward sustainable manufacturing, with greater use of recycled and bio-based materials in response to environmental concerns.

Despite the positive outlook, the industry faces challenges including high capital costs, raw material price fluctuations, and evolving regulatory frameworks around plastics and emissions.

For capital equipment sectors like PML, global economic uncertainty caused some deferment of capital expenditure decisions by clients, although demand remained resilient in emerging markets and sectors like healthcare, consumer durables, and infrastructure-linked industries.

INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

India remains one of the fastest-growing major economies, backed by strong domestic demand, structural reforms, and policy initiatives supporting industrial and manufacturing sectors. The governments continued emphasis on programs such as “Make in India”, PLI (Production Linked Incentive) schemes, and Atmanirbhar Bharat has enhanced manufacturing competitiveness and attracted both domestic and foreign investment.

The Union Budget and recent policy moves have prioritized capital expenditure, infrastructure development, and ease of doing business key drivers of industrial equipment demand. Sectors such as automotive, FMCG, healthcare, electronics, and packaging are expanding rapidly, all of which are major end-users of plastic injection moulded products and machinery.

Additionally, Indias robust SME ecosystem, rising middle-class consumption, and shift towards automation and digital manufacturing are accelerating demand for precision, energy-efficient, and technologically advanced machinery. Urbanization, e-commerce penetration, and rising healthcare awareness are further boosting the plastics and packaging industries. Indias GDP grew at an estimated 6.8% in F.Y. 2024 25, making it one of the fastest-growing major economies globally. Key drivers included strong manufacturing output, recovery in consumption, continued infrastructure spending, and improving private investments.

This positive economic climate supported steady demand for injection moulding machines from automotive OEMs, FMCG manufacturers, consumer electronics brands, and packaging firms. Growing awareness and adoption of energy-efficient, digitally integrated, and sustainable machinery also contributed to demand traction.

India, being a cost-competitive and rapidly industrializing economy, remains a key manufacturing hub. Overall, the Indian economic environment offers a favorable medium-to long-term outlook for the injection moulding machinery industry, driven by structural demand, policy support, and growing focus on technology-driven manufacturing.
