The global food preservation equipment market size is expected to be valued at US$ 43.1 billion in 2022 and further expand at a healthy growth rate of 6.2% CAGR between 2023 and 2033. Total food preservation equipment sales are forecast to total a massive valuation of US$ 78.15 billion by 2033.
Rising focus on reducing food wastage as well as improving shelf life of processed food products and growing adoption across industries such as poultry, snacks, seafood, beverages, and dairy are the key factors driving food preservation equipment demand globally.
Future Market Insights says, Food preservation refers to a range of methods used to keep food from rotting after it has been made ready for consumption or has been produced. Initially, food products were preserved by using simple techniques such as drying, refrigeration, and fermentation.
However, with advancement in technology, new equipment was developed for performing modern preservation processes such as canning, pasteurization, freezing, and irradiation. This food preservation equipment help industries produce food products with better quality and extended shelf life.
Industries such as poultry, seafood, beverages, snacks, dairy, health foods, and bakery are all employing modern food preservation equipment to prevent food spoilage, eliminate chances of microbial growth, and enhance shelf life of products. Hence, growing of these industries will eventually generate high demand for food preservation equipment during the forecast period.
Food preservation equipment help in quality control and allow end users to effectively improve hygiene. They have become essential food preservation tools across food manufacturing and processing industries.
Various types of food preservation machines are used by end users to preserve food products, depending on the specific requirements. For instance, machines like pasteurizers are used to kill all harmful organisms in milk and milk products, making them safe. Similarly, irradiation equipment is used to prevent or limit spoilage and the risk of foodborne illness.
Growing popularity and consumption of processed food products, increasing consumer spending on ready-to-cook meals, and surge in the export of food products are expected to boost food preservation sales during the projection period.
Leading food preservation equipment manufacturers are constantly innovating to introduce advanced preservation machines in the market. Various cutting-edge technologies are being integrated in food preservation machines to make them highly effective and user-friendly. This will revolutionize food preservation techniques across the world.
Country-wise Insights
What Makes the United States a Dominant Market for Food Preservation Equipment?
According to Future Market Insights, the United States food preservation equipment market is currently valued at US$ 8.2 billion and it holds around 68% share of the North America market. This is attributed to the rising demand for advanced food preservation equipment from industries such as poultry, beverages, and dairy.
Rising incidence of food-borne diseases across the United States is playing a crucial role in propelling food preservation demand. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 48 million people get sick while 3000 die of foodborne diseases each year across the United States This has prompted food manufacturing companies to employ various food preservation equipment to reduce food spoilage, prevent foodborne illnesses, and extend shelf life of products.
Similarly, continuous new product launches with enhanced features by United States food preservation equipment manufacturers will aid in the expansion of the market during the projection period.
What Makes China a Promising Market for Food Preservation Equipment Manufacturers?
As per Future Market Insights’ latest report, food preservation equipment sales across China are likely to surge at a healthy pace during the next ten years owing to the rising demand for processed food products, increase in export of meat products, and availability of low-cost food preservation tools.
Due to its rapid development over the last several decades, the people of China have developed a fast and stressful lifestyle. This has led to an increase in demand for processed foods. People are spending large amounts on purchasing processed food products like canned and frozen foods. This is positively impacting food preservation equipment industry in the country.
Food preservative equipment are essential to increase shelf life of processed food. This equipment is extensively being used across food manufacturing and processing industries to increase shelf life of products and prevent microbial growth.
With rapid population growth and skyrocketing demand for processed or packaged food products, China may overtake the United States as the dominant market for food preservation equipment during the projected period.
