Food Processing Equipment Segmentation

Mode of Operation (Automatic, Semi-Automatic)

In terms of mode of operation, the automatic segment is anticipated to account for 80% share of the global food processing equipment market by 2036. Automated and autonomous equipment has become an essential component of the food production and processing sector due to advances in computerized food processing technology. As demand and costs continue to rise, automation is helping to shorten production time while increasing output. The value of data-driven insights to maximize the use of raw materials, improve food quality and safety, as well as support continuous improvement is becoming more widely recognized by processors.

One of the more commonly used types of automated equipment is a robot butchery machine, which speeds up the process. In addition, such automatic equipment decreases the influence of personnel who handle potentially harmful tools and apparatus thereby making a facility more secure.

Application (Bakery & Confectioneries, Meat, Poultry & Seafood, Beverage, Dairy, Fruit, Nut & Vegetable, Grains)

Based on the application, the bakery & confectioneries segment is set to hold the highest food processing equipment market share of 25% by the end of the forecast period. In countries such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, demand for bakery and confectionery products is very high. The market is expected to grow due to the consumption of bread as a staple food throughout Europe. In the European region, approximately 50 kg of bread is consumed on average each year by one person. The equipment used to produce loaves of bread is owned by commercial bakeries. In a shorter period, the equipment available for the production of this bread is capable of producing large quantities.
