The global industrial landscape in 2026 is shaped by three major dynamics:
- Strategic reshoring of manufacturing capacity
- Energy pressure and European regulatory constraints
- Accelerated technological transformation (AI, automation, predictive maintenance)
Within this changing environment, the extrusion blow moulding sector plays a strategic role.
A Global Market in Transition
Extrusion blow moulding remains essential across sectors:
- Food & beverage
- Cosmetics
- Pharmaceuticals
- Chemicals
- Technical industries
Demand remains strong worldwide, yet expectations are evolving (Improved repeatability, Energy optimisation…). Performance no longer depends solely on the machine or the raw material. It increasingly depends on mould design and tooling quality. At Matissart, we observe a clear trend:
- Customers demand longer-lasting moulds
- Production rates are increasing
- Tolerances are tightening
- Maintenance must be anticipated
Material selection is becoming decisive. Stainless steel combined with advanced cooling engineering, becomes a true strategic lever. In 2026, investing in high-performance tooling means securing industrial competitiveness.
