Extrusion Coating Market by Material Type, Substrate, and Region - Global Forecast to 2022

The report "Extrusion Coating Market by Material Type (LDPE, EVA, PP), Substrate (Paper & Paperboard, Polymer Films, Aluminum Foil), and Region - Global Forecast to 2022", The extrusion coating market was valued at USD 4.10 Billion in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 5.64 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. In this study, 2016 has been considered as the base year and 2017 to 2022 as the forecast period for estimating the market size for extrusion coating. The growth of the extrusion coating market across the globe is fueled by the high demand from the packaging industry and increasing global demand for extrusion coatings in Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa region.

LDPE is the largest segment of the extrusion coating market and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2017 to 2022.

LDPE is of great importance due to its easy processing, higher melt strength, and superior optical properties in comparison with linear polyethylene. It has a good moisture barrier and sealability properties and hence is used in applications such as liquid packaging, food packaging, folding carton, and others. It is resistant to impact, moisture, chemicals, and is recyclable. LDPE is the largest and fastest-growing type segment of polymers used in the extrusion coating market. The growing application of LDPE in various end-use industries such as packaging, automotive, building & construction, medical & pharmaceutical, consumer goods, and others is expected to drive the extrusion coating market in the coming future.

Though the extrusion coating market is expected to grow at a fast pace across the globe, the increasing carbon footprint due to the use of polymer resins is a major restraint toward the growth of the extrusion coating market. Polymers used in extrusion coatings are LDPE, EVA, PP, and others. Processing these polymers results in harmful byproducts generated during the processing which could also lead to an increase in carbon footprint.

Among substrates, the paper & paperboard segment is projected to lead the extrusion coating market from 2017 to 2022.

Paper & paperboard is the largest substrate segment. This is due to the superior properties of paperboard such as lightweight, recyclability, low cost, and environment-friendliness. Paper & paperboard is used for packaging various food items such as snacks, vegetables, and others. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the paper & paperboard segment.

The Asia Pacific region is the largest market for extrusion coating across the globe.

Asia Pacific is the global forerunner in the extrusion coating market, in terms of value and volume, and this trend is expected to continue till 2021. Countries in this region such as China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia are witnessing significant increase in the use of extrusion coatings in the packaging segment of the food & beverages industry. The growth of the Asia Pacific extrusion coating market is also attributed to the rapid economic growth and increasing population that is driving the demand for extrusion coating materials from various end-use industries in this region. China is the fastest-growing market and this trend is estimated to continue till 2022.

There are a few global players operating in the extrusion coating market. These companies are actively investing in various strategies, such as expansions, new product launches, mergers & acquisitions, and joint ventures to increase their market shares to further strengthen their position in the extrusion coating market. Dow Chemical (US), Exxon Mobil (US), Borealis AG (Austria), Celanese Corporation (US), Chevron Phillips (US), DuPont (US), LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B.V. (US), Qenos Pty. Ltd. (Australia), and SABIC (Saudi Arabia) are the leading players in the extrusion coating market who have adopted various organic and inorganic strategies to ensure their growth in this market.
