The robotics and automation in injection molding machines market size was valued at US$ 10.55 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach US$ 19.65 billion by 2034; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 7.2% from 2026 to 2034.
The robotics and automation in injection molding machines market is segmented into five major regions-North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), and South & Central America. Manufacturers are shifting toward automated systems to reduce cycle times, improve consistency, and minimize human intervention in cleanroom and high-compliance environments. This trend is reflected in Sumitomo (SHI) Demag North America's showcase at MD&M West on April 16, 2025, where the company emphasized digitalized and automation-driven solutions to optimize production efficiency. The introduction of its compact SAM Robotics solutions in North America, including the SAM-C (Sumitomo Demag Automation Machine - Cartesian) system, highlights how scalable automation is becoming central to polymer and injection molding operations. The demonstration of a "handle & place" Cartesian robot removing medical-grade syringe bodies illustrates how automation is addressing high-precision requirements in medical manufacturing, where consistency and contamination control are critical.
Another factor accelerating robotics integration is the push toward flexible, modular, and customizable automation systems that can adapt to diverse production needs without requiring full-line redesigns. Manufacturers are investing in solutions that allow quick reconfiguration for different product geometries, batch sizes, and downstream processes such as packaging or assembly. The SAM-C series developed by Sumitomo's in-house automation team in Germany is a strong example of this shift, as it is designed to support a wide range of molding applications-from simple to moderately complex-while enabling customization in part removal, placement, and boxing operations. Its North American unveiling underscores the region's accelerating adoption of Industry 4.0 principles, where smart, scalable robotics systems are integrated to improve uptime, reduce operational costs, and support the reshoring of manufacturing. Thus, labor optimization, medical-grade production demands, and the move toward flexible, digitally enabled automation are reinforcing strong growth momentum for robotics and automation in the injection molding machines market across North America.
