Market Trends of Dairy Processing Equipment Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Dairy Processing Equipment Market according to our research experts:
Homogenizers Dominates the Market
Homogenizers are projected to play key role in the processing of dairy based products. It is a mechanical process used to reduce the size of the fat globules in the milk. The key players operating in the market studied are launching innovative homogenizers owing to its higher demand for varied application. In September 2017, GEA launched the GEA Ariete Homogenizer 5400, the world's most powerful homogenizer. The homogenizer consist of 5 pistons that can process 80,000 liters of milk per hour at 120 bar, providing a quarter more power compared to other machines. Therefore, the continuous innovation in the sector drives the market studied.
Asia-Pacific is the Fastest as well as the Largest Market
Asia-Pacific accounts for the largest share of the market studied owing to numerous dairy processing plants in the region as well as the high production of milk, especially from India, China, and Pakistan. In the region, dairy products are touted as a convenient and relatively cheap source of protein and this has increased their availability, accessibility, and wider geographic penetration. The traditional dairy-based drinks still hold dominance in the region necessitating the increased utility of plate heat exchangers, the popularity of indulgent and viscous dairy products have also increased the demands for tubular heat exchangers. Moreover, the strong demand for dairy-based powders for incorporation in foods for special dietary purposes, particularly in the markets of Thailand, China, and Singapore are driving the growth of highly efficient drying and dehydration systems.
