The extruders market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.67 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainable and biodegradable materials, 3D printing filament production, demand for energy-efficient machinery, biomedical material processing, rapid prototyping in aerospace. Major trends in the forecast period include digitalization and industry 4.0, advancements in technology, rise in 3D printing extruders, increased adoption of twin-screw extruders, growing application in medical extrusion.

The growth of the packaging industry is anticipated to drive the expansion of the extruders market in the future. Packaging involves enclosing or protecting a product in a container to facilitate distribution, identification, storage, promotion, and usage. As consumer demand for packaged goods continues to increase, fueled by factors such as convenience and the need for product protection, manufacturers are investing more in advanced extrusion technologies to create versatile and sustainable packaging solutions. This trend is further accelerated by a shift towards eco-friendly materials and innovations in packaging design, necessitating sophisticated extrusion processes to produce lightweight, durable, and recyclable products. For example, a January 2023 report from Drapers, a US-based fashion retail business news company, revealed a significant rise in UK consumer demand for sustainable packaging. It found that 64% of consumers are more inclined to purchase from retailers offering sustainable packaging, with 50% willing to pay a premium for such packaging and delivery solutions. Thus, the growth of the packaging industry is propelling the demand for the extruders market.

The growth of the extruder market is expected to be propelled by increasing construction activities. Construction activities encompass the physical processes and tasks involved in building structures, infrastructure, or facilities. Extruders play a vital role in the construction industry for manufacturing products such as pipes, profiles, and sheets. For example, in March 2023, the Office for National Statistics in the UK reported that in the fourth quarter of 2022, quarterly construction production increased by 0.3% compared to the third quarter of 2022. Furthermore, after experiencing a record growth of 12.8% in 2021, the annual production of construction increased by 5.6% in 2022 compared to 2021. Hence, the growth in construction activities is expected to drive the demand for extruders in the market.

Key players in the extruders market are developing advanced extrusion technologies capable of producing high-quality, multi-layer films while reducing waste and energy consumption. This improvement in production efficiency helps meet the changing demands of the plastic processing industry. For example, in September 2022, Rajoo Engineers Limited, an India-based manufacturer, introduced PentaFoil®POD, a new generation 5-layer blown film line aimed at enhancing production efficiency and addressing the evolving needs of customers in the plastic processing sector. This state-of-the-art line features advanced extruders, specifically the relEX 4 Extruders. The integration of relEX 4 Extruders enables optimized performance and output, which is essential for manufacturers seeking to enhance their production capabilities.

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.

Extruders are machines used to complete the extrusion process, warming the product and driving it through the die to generate the required shape. This is achieved using a series of barrels and cylinders.

The primary types of extruders include single-screw extruders, twin-screw extruders, and ram extruders. Single-screw extruders involve increasing pressure in the polymer melt to facilitate extrusion through the die. These extruders find applications in various end-user industries such as building and construction, transportation, consumer goods, and others.
