The global extrusion coating market size was US$ 5.1 billion in 2021. The global extrusion coating market is forecast to grow to US$ 8.1 billion by 2030 by registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.
Extrusion coating is widely used to safeguard end products against moisture, fog, cracks, dust, temperature fluctuations, etc. The extrusion coating is created by extruding melted polymer on the existing film as it passes through the calendar rolls. The extrusion coating industry provides many substrates for a variety of packaging without any physical modification to the final goods. Substrates with extrusion coatings, such as metallic foil, polymer, cardboard, and woven or non-woven fabrics, are commonly used for packaging. Extrusion coatings are expected to be an excellent alternative to aseptic flexible bricks and will thus continue to be popular around the world.
