The global Plastic Extrusion Machinery market size is expanded rapidly in 2020 and will grow substantially by 2027, exhibiting a prodigious CAGR 3.7% during the forecast period. 

Plastic extrusion machinery is equipment used in the plastic manufacturing industry to produce plastic products through a process called extrusion. Extrusion is a manufacturing process that involves forcing raw plastic material through a die to create a specific shape or profile. The machinery used for plastic extrusion is designed to handle various types of thermoplastic materials.

The Plastic Extrusion Machinery market is growing for several reasons. The demand for plastic products has been steadily increasing globally. This includes a wide range of applications such as packaging, construction, automotive, and consumer goods. As the demand for plastic products grows, the need for plastic extrusion machinery to produce these items also increases.

COVID-19 Impact: Market Faced a Fall in Demand Due to Operational Challenges During the Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the Plastic Extrusion Machinery market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Lockdowns, social distancing measures, and other restrictions imposed to curb the spread of the virus resulted in operational challenges for manufacturing facilities. Workforce shortages, restrictions on transportation, and safety protocols impacted the overall production capacity of machinery manufacturers.

• By Type Analysis

According to type, the market can be segmented into single-screw and twin-screw.

In terms of service, twin-screw is the largest segment. Twin-screw extruders have two intermeshing screws rotating within a barrel, providing better mixing and conveying capabilities. It can be used for co-rotating (both screws rotate in the same direction) or counter-rotating (screws rotate in opposite directions). Single-screw extruders have a single rotating screw within a barrel to transport, melt, and pressurize the plastic material.

• By Application Analysis

Based on application, the market can be divided into blown film extrusion, sheet/film extrusion, tubing extrusion, and other.

In terms of services, blown film extrusion is the largest segment. In blown film extrusion, plastic pellets are melted and formed into a tube-like shape using an extruder. In sheet/film extrusion, plastic pellets are melted in an extruder and then formed into a flat sheet using a die. Tubing extrusion involves the extrusion of plastic material through a die to create a continuous tube.

Driving Factors

"Growing Demand for Plastic Products have Increased Demand in the Market"

The increasing global demand for plastic products across various industries, including packaging, construction, automotive, and consumer goods, is a significant driver. Plastic extrusion machinery is essential for producing a wide range of plastic products.
