Import dependence
Despite an increase in domestic production, Russia still relies on imports to supplement its demand. Such as resins, machinery, and other related products.
The production and processing of plastics is one of the largest subsectors of the Russian chemical industry in terms of the number of companies and employees. Nearly 13,000 companies manufacture plastic products in Russia, with more than 181,000 employees—more than one-third of all workers in Russia’s chemicals industry.
In the last five years, Russia has significantly increased its potential for the production of plastics. As of 2019, the sector had logged 62% growth from its size five years earlier. In terms of the production and use of containers and other plastic goods, Russia is gradually approaching world averages. As of 2018, the Russian plastic products market accounted for 2.2% of global volume.
World consumption of plastic products is constantly growing. The bulk of production capacity is located in Asia—nearly half (45%) of total volume—with China, South Korea and Japan as the leading sources within Asia. Europe and North America account for about 25% of worldwide production. The total volume of the world market is estimated at 280 million tons, with a projected growth rate of 4-6% per year.
Haichen, one of Chinese injection molding machine manufacturers is expanding into the Russian market. Through market research, Haichen understands the needs and preferences of Russian local consumers. For example, in the Russian plastic machinery market, there is a high demand for small injection molding machines. While large injection molding machines are more commonly used in high-end manufacturing fields. To this condition, Haichen develops as K series and E series injection molding machine to meet different Russian customer’s demand on the market. Moreover, Haichen is preparing attend exhibitions like Interplastic, Rosplast, these professional exhibitions are important channels to furtherly exploring the market.
Intense market competition
Industrial demand in Russia is an important factor driving the growth of the injection molding machine market. According to the 2024 16th Russian International Mold Manufacturing Industry Exhibition ROSMOULD & 3D-TECH, the Russian plastic processing machinery market has developed rapidly in recent years, with a market size of US$200-300 million. The reasons for the strong market demand include:
- The development of the food industry has increased the demand for plastic packaging materials;
- The demand for plastic products in the building materials, sports goods, stationery and automotive industries has increased;
There are more than 2,000 companies in Russia involved in plastic processing, and the current number of injection molding machines is about 10,000, most of which are obsolete, and more than 80% of the machines need to be replaced.
The Russian-Ukrainian war has affected Russia’s industrial supply chain, and some European countries have imposed sanctions on Russia, causing some European injection molding machine manufacturers to stop exporting to Russia, thus creating a supply gap in the Russian market. However, as injection molding equipment manufacturers in countries such as China actively expand their markets, the supply of injection molding machines in Russia has improved.
Widely applicable fields
Injection molding machines widely use in various fields such as plastic packaging, automotive parts, consumer electronics, etc., It has led to sustained growth in market demand.
Food industry: With the rapid development of Russia’s food industry, the demand for plastic packaging materials has significantly increased, which in turn has driven the demand for injection molding machines.
The automotive industry: The recovery and growth of Russia’s automotive manufacturing industry, as well as the promotion of lightweight trends, have led to a continuous increase in the use of plastic components, especially for components such as instrument panels, bumpers, and doors, which has stimulated the demand for injection molding machines.
Construction industry: The Russian government is vigorously promoting infrastructure construction and real estate industry development, which has driven the demand for products including plastic pipes and plastic building materials, thereby increasing the demand for plastic machinery, especially extruders.
Manufacturing upgrade: Russia currently has approximately 10000 injection molding machines, but most of them are outdated and over 80% of the machines need to be replaced. In addition, there are nearly 2400 plastic related companies in Russia, of which about 50 companies will complete the upgrading of plastic machinery in the next 2-3 years.
Russia’s demand for plastic injection molding machinery
It mainly concentrates in small equipment with lower unit prices. Among which injection molding machines are one of the important imported products. This demand reflects Russia’s efforts to enhance its manufacturing capabilities, especially in the production of plastic products.
In the medical field, the Russian government is also promoting localized production to ensure the supply of key medical products. For example, the third-generation self-destruct injector factory project built in Bor, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast expects to invest 3 billion rubles in the next decade. This not only helps meet domestic demand but may also promote the development and application of related equipment and technologies.
Although Russia relies on imports in certain fields, countries such as China have become important suppliers of plastic machinery to it. This international cooperation provides technical and equipment support for Russia, while also promoting competition and development in the local market.
Injection molding machines widely use in multiple industries, including automotive, aerospace, and medical equipment manufacturing. With technological advancements and increasing market demand in these industries, Russia’s injection molding machine(машина для литья под давлением) market expectes to expand further.
Summary
Based on the above information, it can concluded that the Russian injection molding machine(Термопластавтоматы ) industry will continue to maintain a growth trend in the coming years. With an expanded market size, increased import demand, and significant development potential in the localization of medical products. The injection molding machine industry in Russia will continue to maintain stable growth in the coming years, benefiting from technological advancements, government support, and increased market demand.
Haichen injection molding machine on Russian market forecast
We are Haichen, one of the rapidly developing injection molding machine brands in Ningbo, China.
After the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022, the European and American injection molding machines were reduced in the Russian market due to the impact of Western sanctions. This situation led to a large gap in the demand of the Russian injection molding machine market. That makes Russia to import injection molding machines from China and other neighboring countries.
According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs of China, in the first half of 2023, Russia imported injection molding machines from China worth $547 million, a year-on-year increase of 114.4%, accounting for 6.4% of China’s total injection molding machine exports. So we forecast the Chinese injection molding machines to Russian market will continue to grow significantly.
