Food Extrusion Market Analysis

  • The food extrusion market has large growth potential, as changing tastes and lifestyles boost demand for convenience foods and processed foods, especially in developing economies.
  •  This is a market that has been characterised by constant technological innovation and a departure of the consumer from unhealthy foods towards healthy foods, and a need for efficient means to produce food at scale.
  •  From savoury snacks and breakfast cereals, to plant-based proteins, sections that need relatively simple processing are extremely popular areas for twin-screw extruders.
  •  The market is moderately fragmented, with key companies such as Bühler AG and Coperion GmbH driving innovation.

Food Extrusion Market Overview

  • Food extrusion is a versatile and efficient food processing technique that combines several unit operations including mixing, cooking, kneading, shearing, shaping, and forming.
  • This process involves forcing food materials through a die under high pressure and temperature, causing significant physical and chemical changes to the ingredients.
  • As the material passes through the extruder, it is subjected to intense mechanical shear, pressure, and thermal energy, which can gelatinize starches, denature proteins, and modify textures.
  • The extrusion process allows for the creation of a wide range of products with varying shapes, textures, and densities, from puffed snacks and breakfast cereals to pasta and pet foods.
  • It offers numerous advantages in food production, including high productivity, energy efficiency, and the ability to create novel textures and shapes.

Food Extrusion Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing demand for convenience foods is expected to drive the growth of the food extrusion market

  • The increasing demand for convenience foods, largely produced through extrusion, is a significant driving factor in the food extrusion market, reflecting the evolving lifestyles and preferences of modern consumers.
  • As urbanization accelerates and work schedules become more demanding, people find themselves with less time and energy for traditional meal preparation.
  • This shift is particularly pronounced in dual-income households and among younger generations like Millennials and Gen Z, who often prioritize efficiency in their daily routines.
  • The result is a growing market for ready-to-eat and easy-to-prepare foods that can be consumed on-the-go, during commutes, or at workplaces.

Rising popularity of plant-based proteins

  • Extrusion is the key to the fast-growing market for plant-based meat alternatives because it addresses the other half of the emerging market for ‘meat free’ foods: the huge shift in consumer attitudes towards plant-based diets.
  • It can also transform a range of plant proteins, most notably soy, pea and wheat, into foods with exactly the sort of appearance, textural qualities and mouthfeel desired by consumers of ordinary meat meat.
  • The high temperature, pressure and mechanical shear applied by extrusion causes the protein molecules to unfold and then pull into fibrous bundles that resemble the fibrous structure of ordinary muscle.
  • Texturisation is a key factor in achieving the distinctive, chewy bite that meat products are known for.
