Extrusion Coating Market Research Report: By Material Type (Low-Density Polyethylene, Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate, Polypropylene), Substrate (Paper & Paperboard, Polymer Film, Aluminum Foil), Application (Liquid Packaging, Flexible Packaging, Commercial, Photographic)– Global Industry Size, Share, Development, Growth, and Demand Forecast to 2023

Valued at $3,703.8 million in 2017, the global extrusion coating market is projected to surpass $4,759.3 million by 2023, witnessing a CAGR of 4.2% between 2018 and 2023.

Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to witness the fastest growth in the industry during the forecast period. This can be mainly attributed to increasing demand for extrusion coating materials for packaging applications in different industries, such as food and beverage, healthcare, and personal care.

Fundamentals Governing Extrusion Coating Market

Increasing use of polypropylene (PP) in food and beverage packaging is being observed as the major trend in the extrusion coating market. It is tough and flexible, and can be used as a plastic or fiber in various plastic end-use applications. The recyclability characteristic of PP is another factor that encourages food and beverage companies to adopt this material for product packaging. Owing to such properties, the food and beverage industry is increasing usage of PP for packaging applications.

Increasing income levels, changing lifestyle, and growing population are the factors boosting the demand for consumer goods, electronic items, personal care products, and sporting goods, globally. Extrusion coating materials are used in the manufacturing of packaging films, papers, and paperboards, required for the packaging of consumer products. Growing demand for different types of packaging solutions from different industries is contributing to the growth of the extrusion coating market.

The demand for extrusion coating materials in emerging economies, such as APAC, Latin America (LATAM), and Middle East and Africa (MEA), is on the rise. This is attributed to the rapid growth of industries such as food and beverage, healthcare, personal care, electronics, and consumer goods, which make use of packaging materials for their products. For instance, as per the International Trade Administration (ITA), the Indian healthcare industry stood at $110 billion in 2016 and is anticipated to reach $280 billion by 2020, owing to the rapidly increasing demand for healthcare products and services in the country. Thus, rising demand for extrusion coating materials in emerging economies is providing ample growth opportunities to the players in the extrusion coating market.

Extrusion Coating Market Segmentation Analysis

The low-density polyethylene (LDPE) category held the largest revenue share among all material types in 2017 in the extrusion coating market. This is ascribed to increasing demand for LDPE for the production of films, which are used as packaging materials, bags, and sacks.

The polymer film category is projected to grow fastest among all substrates over the forecast period, on account of growing demand for flexible packaging solutions in various industries (e.g., food and beverage, personal care, and healthcare). These industries make use of polymer films to protect their products from shock, vibration, and surface abrasion.

Liquid packaging was the largest application area of extrusion coating materials during the historical period in the extrusion coating market. This is attributed to the growing use of extrusion coating materials in liquid packaging to increase the saleability of different types of liquid and semi-solid food items, such as milk, juice, and sauce.
