The extruders market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.59 billion in 2025 to $11.2 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of plastics and polymer processing industries, growth in construction material production, increasing use of extrusion in consumer goods manufacturing, availability of advanced screw technologies, industrial capacity expansion.

The extruders market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.87 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for sustainable material processing, rising adoption of smart manufacturing systems, expansion of lightweight material applications, growing investments in process automation, continuous innovation in extrusion design. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-efficiency extrusion systems, rising demand for precision extrusion control, expansion of multi-material extrusion capabilities, growing integration of automated process monitoring, enhanced focus on energy-efficient extruders.

The rising construction activities are expected to drive the growth of the extruder market going forward. Construction activities encompass the physical processes and tasks involved in creating buildings, infrastructure, or facilities. Extruders are utilized in the construction sector to manufacture products such as pipes, profiles, and sheets. For instance, in August 2024, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, reported that in June 2024, compared with June 2023, construction production in the euro area increased by 1%. Therefore, the rising construction activities are driving the extruder market.

Major companies in the extruder market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, including the introduction of new end-effector extruders, to gain a competitive edge. End-effector extruders, in this context, typically refer to specific tools or devices utilized in additive manufacturing processes, particularly in 3D printing. An example of this trend is seen in November 2023, when Carol, an Italy-based company specializing in robotic large-format polymer additive manufacturing, unveiled the 'High Versatility' extruder. This extruder is specifically designed for Carol's large Heron AM platform and is employed across various applications, including mid-sized tools, jigs, single tools, fixtures, architectural panels, furniture components, and marine superstructures. The 'High Versatility' extruder offers precision, efficiency, and rapid processing capabilities for different thermoplastic pellets, including advanced composite materials. This exemplifies the industry's commitment to developing cutting-edge solutions to enhance the versatility and performance of extruders in the market.

In February 2024, International Manufacturing & Assembly, a Michigan-based producer of automotive metal components, announced its acquisition of General Extrusions Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition highlights IMA's strategy to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities and broaden its product offerings in the aluminum extrusion sector, with the ultimate goal of enhancing efficiency and production capacity in automotive applications. General Extrusions, Inc. is a US-based firm that specializes in aluminum extrusion and fabrication.
