Lack of skilled technical experts

Rising electrification and the usage of advanced semiconductor solutions are providing lucrative opportunities for Molded interconnect devices market expansion. Despite the favorable growth trajectory, low awareness regarding molded interconnect materials and limited presence of technical manufacturing experts and vendors offering MIDs has been observed. All these factors, alongside the high development costs, may create roadblocks to industry development by 2030.
 

Favorable attributes of the two-shot molding process

The two-shot molding segment registered revenue of around USD 300 million in 2021, driven by the high-volume production of multi-color, complex products, and multi-material plastics. The 2-shot molding method primarily requires a single production cycle. This leads to lower expenses and an enhanced molded production process, which may stimulate the demand.
