Question by Scott S: How many injection molding machines are presently in operation world-wide?
I have seen an article from 2004 that estimates 60,000 to 70,000 sold annually. I have also seen figures on the dollar volume and total mass of production resulting from these machines, but I am looking for the number of machines that are currently operating.Thanks

i hope that will help u…*Just in terms of imports, from 2002 to 2003 the number of injection molding machines entering China grew from 13,491 to 18,396 for an one-year growth rate of 36%, according to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce’s Light Industrial Machinery Branch.*Although estimates of the total market size are hard to come by, during K 2004, Demag Plastics Group (Schwaig, Germany) speculated that for the full year, between 60,000 and 70,000 injection molding machines would be sold around the world, with China accounting for slightly more than half of that total, or around 35,000.
