Growth across the region is influenced by expanding Latin American economies experiencing rapid industrial activity and major infrastructure development. Nations throughout the region are making sizable investments in transportation, utilities, and construction projects, each of which relies extensively on extruded plastics for components such as pipes, sheets, and various structural profiles. As infrastructure demand accelerates, manufacturers are turning to more advanced extrusion systems equipped with high-precision measurement and control technologies that ensure consistent quality, adherence to strict specifications, and higher operational efficiency. Alongside these infrastructure needs, the packaging sector and the food and beverage industry continue to drive substantial market expansion. Rising urban populations and shifting consumption patterns across South America are dramatically increasing demand for packaged products. This trend is boosting the need for extrusion technologies capable of delivering reliable, uniform materials for packaging applications, reinforcing the importance of accurate process monitoring and advanced control tools throughout the region.
The basic automation category generated USD 14.5 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a 5.8% CAGR through 2034. Many processors across the region work within limited budgets and face constraints related to technical capabilities, making basic automation an appealing and practical choice. These systems commonly include simple sensors, semi-automated controls, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), all of which enhance process stability and reduce operational errors without requiring extensive investment or complex upgrades.
The packaging and food contact sector held a 33.7% share in 2024 and is forecast to grow at a 6.2% CAGR. Rapid lifestyle shifts, greater urban migration, and rising e-commerce activity have significantly increased demand for films, sheets, and flexible packaging products produced through extrusion. Consistent thickness, uniform barrier performance, and strict compliance with food-grade requirements are essential, making advanced measurement and control technologies a core component of efficient production.
Brazil Plastic Extrusion Measurement and Control Technology Market generated USD 14 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a 5.6% CAGR from 2025 to 2034. As South America’s largest economy, the country continues to channel significant investments into construction projects and distribution networks for water and gas, along with urban development initiatives. These sectors depend heavily on extruded plastic components. Additionally, the country’s expanding food and beverage industry and increasing e-commerce involvement have intensified the need for high-quality packaging materials, further strengthening demand for precise extrusion monitoring tools.
