Global Extrusion Coatings Market Outlook to 2026

Extrusion coatings are coatings of a molten web of synthetic resin on substrates; used on cellulose, paper, paperboard, aluminum foils, corrugated fiberboard, and plastic films. The actual process of extrusion coating involves the direct extrusion of resin from a slot die at temperatures up to 320°C. It may then be passed through a nip with rubber covered pressure roller and chrome-plated cooling roll. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate are few polymers used in extrusion coatings, with LDPE being the most common for the enthralling properties it possesses.

According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global extrusion coatings market is expected to witness a considerable growth rate during the forecast period. The accelerating demand from packaging industries, especially liquid packaging, like in the food and beverage industry, is likely to drive the growth of the market. A rise in additive manufacturing process familiarity and environment-friendly coating technologies is expected to aid market growth. Growing demand for moisture and grease resistance, and oxygen, water vapor, and aroma barrier packaging is also among the major driving factors. The fact that it can be used for decorative as well as protective purposes, with the latter being the more common application, helps in the rising demand for extrusion coatings. However, higher cost and dry film thickness compared to other coatings, contribution to carbon footprint, and fluctuating raw material costs are some of the challenges that restrain the global extrusion coatings market growth.

Asia-Pacific is the largest market for the global extrusion coatings market, owing to the growth in economies of countries like China and India. People receive higher disposable incomes year after year. The growth of population and the subsequent growth in industrial sectors using extrusion coatings such as automotive, construction, packaging, and medical are major factors in the regional market growth. Food & Beverage and cosmetic industries' growth also influence the regional extrusion coatings market positively.

The nature of the global extrusion coatings market is fragmented. The major companies include LyondellBasell Industries Holdings, Celanese Corporation, DuPont de Nemours, Sherwin-Williams Company, and Sudi Basic Industries, among others.
