Food extrusion is a process of subjecting food ingredients to forces of shear, pressure, heat, and friction to produce snacks in the form of pellets, flakes or dough pieces. It helps in mixing raw ingredients uniformly, controlling moisture content, shaping the mix and expanding products into their final form. The technique is widely used in production of breakfast cereals, savories, and confectionery products. Extrusion cooking offers advantages like shorter production times, continuous operation, customizable textures, sterilization, and increased shelf life. With growing demand for convenient, extruded snacks rich in protein and fiber, the food extrusion market is poised to expand in the coming years.
Market Dynamics:
The food extrusion market growth is driven by changing lifestyles and eating habits of consumers. Busy schedules leave little time for homemade meals, boosting sales of ready-to-eat extruded snacks. Rising health awareness is increasing demand for protein-rich and low-fat extruded products. However, unpredictable raw material prices owing to climate changes and availability issues pose a challenge. Opportunities lie in catering to vegan and gluten-free segments through innovative formulations. Emerging economies offer scope for market players as disposable incomes rise. Extrusion technology manufacturers are collaborating with food companies to develop customized solutions and expand geographically.
