Food Extrusion Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth,
Trends, and Forecast To 2025
Market Definition:
Food extrusion is the method of propelling food material under a variety of conditions through a shaped hole at a
predefined rate to achieve a varied range of products. It is an important technique in food processing and manufacturing
and results in myriad of extruded products. For instance, all types of RTE cereals, textured vegetable protein (TVP),
pasta, aquatic feeds, cereal-based snack foods and pet foods (dry and semi-moist), are extruded food products.
Components of an extruder include a tightly fitted screw that rotates within a stationary barrel. Conditioned ingredients
and pre-ground materials enter the screw and are conveyed, mixed, and heated by a combination of methods. The
product then exits the extruder through a die providing color, flavor, and shape to the food which might alter due to the
release of steam and normal forces.
The increasing population of the urban and rural middle class is primarily responsible for the escalated demand of on-
the-go consumption snacks. Thus, numerous snacking options manufactured by applying food extrusion technique is
available at reasonable prices, positively impacting this industry.

Market Analysis with Latest Growth Factors:
Novel innovations in the industry such as technologically advanced equipment designs which are more productive and
reduce the production cost, augment the food extrusion market size. Additionally, rising processed food industry is also
anticipated to cause a surge in the sales of extruded products.
The extrusion technique allows the ability to choose the processing methods and ingredients. This allows many
manufacturers to produce healthier products along with a diverse set of ingredients. Furthermore, the technique
excludes some of the naturally occurring toxins and minimizes the amount of micro-organisms present in the end use
product, ensuring product safety, thereby impacting the market positively.
Change in lifestyles of consumers, particularly in terms of relatively aware consumers following healthy snacking habits,
compounded with escalation in adoption of nutritional eatables intake, is estimated to drive the industry. Food
extrusion is applied to facilitate digestibility, denature anti nutritional factors and improve protein and are widely used
for the production of quality nutritious foods. Metabolic benefits, particularly weight-loss, are associated with healthier
extruded food. Moreover, these products offer essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients required by the body.
