Plastics & Rubber Machinery Manufacturing in the US

Bouncing back

From car production to beverage bottling, activity in a variety of downstream industries affects the Plastics and Rubber Machinery Manufacturing industry. As a result of the various factors that affect downstream demand for machines that make plastic and rubber goods, industry revenue has exhibited high volatility since 2007. Declining domestic demand has led the industry to look abroad to stave off its US losses. Through 2017, the industry's fortunes will continue to hinge on overseas demand for US-made machinery. Meanwhile, the domestic market is expected to perk up as consumer confidence is restored, boosting demand for downstream industries.

Companies in this industry manufacture machinery used to make or process plastic and rubber products, including machinery for blow molding, calendering, plastic-compression molding, extruding, injection molding, plastic working, rubber working, tire making, tire recapping and tire shredding. Receipts from service and repair work are included.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
