THREATS
Booming Export of Fruits and Vegetables Pushing Demand in the USA
The USA fruit processing equipment market reached a valuation of USD 1,216.0 Million in 2023 and it currently accounts for around 72% of the overall North American fruit processing equipment market. This is due to a boom in fruit orchids across the United States, increasing export of fruits, and rising adoption of advanced fruit processing technologies by end-use industries.
Various processed fruits like avocados, peaches, pears, etc. are hitting the supermarket in the USA in large numbers which are pushing the farms to process more and more organic fruits. This will eventually drive the fruit processing equipment market forward during the next ten years.
Similarly, the rise in the export of fruits along with the growing need for the increased shelf life of fruit-based products will continue to generate demand for fruit processing technologies across the country during the forecast period.
According to the USA Department of Agriculture (USDA), the value of US fresh fruit and vegetable exports to the world reached USD 6.9 billion in 2020 which is expected to further surge during the upcoming years. This will generate lucrative opportunities for leading fruit processing equipment manufacturers.
Growing Trend of Consuming Nutrient-rich Food Products Driving the UK Market
The UK fruit processing equipment market size reached approximately USD 332.1 Million in 2023 and it is poised to exhibit a steady growth rate during the next ten years.
Growth in the UK fruit processing equipment market is driven by the rapid expansion of the fruit processing industry, growing consumption of nutrient-dense food, and increasing penetration of automation across food manufacturing companies.
Similarly, favorable government support and technological advancements in fruit processing technology will further aid in the expansion of the USA fruit processing equipment market during the next ten years.
Rising Consumption of Fruit-based Products Propelling Sales in China
According to FMI, China's fruit processing equipment machine market is currently valued at USD 255.4 Million and it holds around 32% of the Asia pacific fruit processing equipment market.
Rapidly growing population, changing eating habits, and growing consumption of fruits-based products such as jams, juices, sweets, etc. are some of the key factors driving the growth of the China fruit processing equipment market.
Furthermore, the increasing number of fruit orchids and rising government initiatives to help fruit growers to meet increasing consumer demands are expected to boost sales of fruit processing equipment during the assessment period.
Demand Remains High for Pre-processing Equipment Type
Based on equipment type, the global fruit processing market is segmented into pre-processing, peeling/inspection/slicing, washing & dewatering, fillers, packaging & handling, and seasoning systems.
Among these, the pre-processing segment holds the largest share of the global fruit processing equipment market and it is expected to grow at a significant pace during the next ten years. This can be attributed to the rising adoption of pre-processing equipment in the fruit processing industry for cleaning
Fruits gathered from farms contain dirt, germs, biocides, and other harmful substances which make them unfit for direct consumption. To make them consumable and fit for further processing, pre-processing equipment is being extensively used.
Pre-processing machines automatically clean the gathered fruits in very less time, reduce human intervention, and eventually help industries to improve productivity.
Leading players operating in the fruit processing equipment market are focused on introducing new and improved fruit processing machines to meet end-user demand. Besides this, they are adopting strategies such as new product launches, mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations to gain a competitive edge in the market.for instance,
