Extruders Global Market Report 2026

Extruders are machines used to complete the extrusion process, warming the product and driving it through the die to generate the required shape. This is achieved using a series of barrels and cylinders.

The primary types of extruders include single-screw extruders, twin-screw extruders, and ram extruders. Single-screw extruders involve increasing pressure in the polymer melt to facilitate extrusion through the die. These extruders find applications in various end-user industries such as building and construction, transportation, consumer goods, and others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are impacting the extruders market by increasing costs of imported motors, control systems, precision screws, barrels, and heavy mechanical components. Manufacturing industries in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported high-performance extrusion equipment, while Asia-Pacific suppliers face export cost pressures. These tariffs have increased capital expenditure and delayed equipment upgrades. At the same time, they are driving domestic machinery production, encouraging regional supplier development, and fostering innovation in cost-optimized and energy-efficient extrusion systems.

Extruders are utilized in the construction sector to manufacture products such as pipes, profiles, and sheets. For instance, in August 2024, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, reported that in June 2024, compared with June 2023, construction production in the euro area increased by 1.0%. Therefore, the rising construction activities are driving the extruder market.

Major companies in the extruder market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, including the introduction of new end-effector extruders, to gain a competitive edge. End-effector extruders, in this context, typically refer to specific tools or devices utilized in additive manufacturing processes, particularly in 3D printing. An example of this trend is seen in November 2023, when Carol, an Italy-based company specializing in robotic large-format polymer additive manufacturing, unveiled the 'High Versatility' extruder. This extruder is specifically designed for Carol's large Heron AM platform and is employed across various applications, including mid-sized tools, jigs, single tools, fixtures, architectural panels, furniture components, and marine superstructures. The 'High Versatility' extruder offers precision, efficiency, and rapid processing capabilities for different thermoplastic pellets, including advanced composite materials. This exemplifies the industry's commitment to developing cutting-edge solutions to enhance the versatility and performance of extruders in the market.

In February 2024, International Manufacturing & Assembly, a Michigan-based producer of automotive metal components, announced its acquisition of General Extrusions Inc. for an undisclosed sum.
