The Global Plastic Extrusion Machines Market size is expected to reach $9.5 billion by 2031, rising at a market growth of 4.6% CAGR during the forecast period.
The booming manufacturing sector in countries like China and India drives the demand for plastic products used in packaging, construction, and various other industries. Thus, the Asia Pacific region acquired 40% revenue share in the market 2023. This, in turn, fuels the need for extrusion machines. The region's focus on cost-effectiveness often makes plastic an attractive material choice compared to alternatives. This affordability factor translates to a high demand for plastic extrusion machinery.
The affordability of plastic as a material is a key factor driving the competitive pricing of plastic products. Raw plastic resins are generally less expensive than metals or wood. This translates directly into lower production costs for the final plastic good. Additionally, the extrusion process itself is quite efficient.
Additionally, the lightweight nature of plastic reduces transportation costs and simplifies handling and installation, making it an economically viable choice for large-scale construction projects. Therefore, the growth of the construction industry will aid in the market's growth.
However, the plastic extrusion industry is especially susceptible to volatile raw material prices, notably polymers and resins. Industry relies heavily on these materials, which form the basis of plastic products and can constitute a significant portion of production costs. Thus, the price volatility may deter the expansion of the market.
Machine Type Outlook
On the basis of machine type, the market is classified into single-screw and twin-screw. The single-screw segment recorded 46.1% revenue share in the market in 2023.
