The Course Grater segment is projected to account for 38.7% of the industrial graters market revenue in 2025, making it the leading product type. This growth has been driven by its application in processing larger food particles which are required in bakery toppings, dairy production, and prepared meal components.
Industrial kitchens and food processing plants have shown a preference for course graters as they allow for faster throughput and lower energy consumption compared to fine grating equipment.
The segment’s adoption has also been supported by its ability to handle high-moisture and semi-hard food items without causing blockages in production lines. As processors look for ways to maximize operational efficiency and meet product texture requirements, the Course Grater segment is expected to maintain its market prominence.
The Dairy segment is forecasted to contribute 43.5% of the industrial graters market revenue in 2025, holding its position as the top application area. The widespread use of graters in shredding and processing cheese varieties has driven the segment’s growth across dairy manufacturing plants. Industrial graters have become essential in producing grated cheese for retail packaging, foodservice supply, and ready-to-eat meals.
Consistent grating quality and the ability to meet hygiene standards have been key factors influencing the adoption of these machines in dairy applications. Furthermore, the increasing consumption of shredded cheese products and the rising demand for value-added dairy ingredients have fueled the need for automated grating solutions.
With dairy producers optimizing their production capacity and product offerings, the Dairy segment is expected to continue leading the application share of the market.
High demand for stainless steel-based industrial graters in various parts of the globe is projected to bolster the industrial graters market growth in the evaluation period.
Robust research and development capabilities of key companies, increasing usage of automation, and high demand for technological development are some of the vital factors that would push the adoption of automatic industrial graters in future.
Moreover, manufacturers are persistently striving to provide standard, precise, and quality products to deliver automated operational systems to the food processing industry. High demand for packaged and fast food is further set to encourage manufacturers to broaden their production capabilities, thereby fueling the need for industrial graters worldwide.
Stainless steel industrial graters are more expensive than various other materials, such as plastic and aluminum. These are also considered to be a magnet for smudges, dust, and dirt.
These two disadvantages may hamper sales of industrial graters made of stainless steel in the assessment period. However, stainless steel has high resale value, which may defray the overall cost. It is also more durable and requires low maintenance cost.
Based on region, North America is likely to remain at the forefront by generating the largest industrial graters market share in the forthcoming years. Increasing demand for electric cheese grating machines to enable users to grate cheese in large quantities and surge the operational efficiency is projected to boost the regional market.
Besides, as manual cheese grating is useful for preparing food items in small quantities, sales of electric cheese graters are set to grow at a rapid pace in the food processing industry.
Users may often end up with sore wrists and hands while grating large quantities of cheese manually. These advanced machines, on the other hand, help users to grate cheese in a fraction of time, thereby helping them to focus more on other operations.
The demand for industrial graters is likely to grow at a steady pace in Asia Pacific stoked by the presence of a large number of manufacturers in China and India. High demand for leisure food across Japan, Malaysia, and Indonesia is another major factor that is projected to augur well for the regional market.
Increasing spending on ready-to-eat food items among millennials in Asia Pacific is also estimated to drive the market. Various initiatives undertaken by government agencies, such as ongoing promotional efforts taken by the Singapore Health Promotion Board to create awareness about ready-to-eat fish and meat products, are anticipated to accelerate growth.
