Globally, food processing is considered one of the fastest-growing industries, with significant contributions to Gross Value Added (GVA), employment, and investments. The abundant availability of raw materials supports the growth of this industry. A wide range of instruments and equipment are used in the food processing industry. The increasing use of international food processing technologies, rising demand for quality food products, and growing need to fulfill consumer expectations drive the demand for technologically advanced food processing equipment. Generally, food processing equipment is used for the measurement, processing, storage, and/or packaging of food products.

The demand for food processing equipment has increased significantly, especially in developing economies, due to industrial growth, rapid urbanization, population growth, and higher per capita incomes. Also, the pace at which the global middle-class population has grown demands larger quantities of high-quality, diverse food products. As a result, the global food processing equipment market has experienced consistent growth over the years.

In terms of value, the food processing equipment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2020 to reach $98.4 billion by 2027; whereas, in terms of volume, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2020 to reach 56,233.9 thousand units by 2027. This market is majorly driven by factors, such as increasing consumer demand for processed food, growing focus on food safety & safety of workers, growing need to increase food productivity, increasing focus of food manufacturers to reduce production costs, and government support to promote the food processing sector. In addition, emerging economies, such as Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa, provide significant opportunities for the manufacturers in the food processing equipment market.

However, the high cost of equipment and shifting consumer preference from processed to minimally processed foods are expected to restrain the growth of this market to some extent. On the other hand, the lack of trained professionals in developing countries is expected to challenge the growth of this market in the coming years.

Increasing consumer demand for processed food to drive the growth of the food processing equipment market

In recent decades, processed food consumption has increased rapidly across the globe. A major factor for this increase is the growing world population. According to the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations, the world population reached 7.3 billion in 2015 and is projected to increase to 9.7 billion in 2050. As a result, consumers are being exposed to a much wider choice and better food availability within the urban environment than those living in rural areas. This urbanization trend contributes significantly towards improved living standards and rising incomes, which, in turn, influences the affordability of processed food products to a greater extent. Hence, the food processors are continuously seeking and exploring new processing and preservation technologies with technologically advanced equipment, fueling the adoption of food processing equipment across the globe.
