Spray Drying Equipment Market Size Worth $7.19 Billion By 2025

Spray Drying Equipment Market Growth & Trends

The global spray drying equipment market size is estimated to reach USD 7.19 billion by 2025 registering a CAGR of 6.8%, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Spray drying envisages transforming a liquid, slurry, or semi-solid feed into a dried powder form using hot gas. It is a widely preferred method to dry food materials, pharmaceutical products, and other temperature-sensitive items, such as dairy products. Moreover, rising need to increase the shelf-life of processed food and pharmaceutical products is opening new growth opportunities in the food processing and pharmaceutical industries. Thus, demand from the dairy processing industry for producing milk powder and stabilizing the milk constituents and from the pharmaceutical industry for producing antibiotics is anticipated to drive the market.

The demand for nutrition products including whey protein, mass gainer, egg white protein, casein protein has increased due to rising awareness about leading a healthy lifestyle and to prevent disorders, such as obesity, diabetes, and high BP. This, in turn, has also augmented the demand for dryers from the nutraceutical industry. Increasing demand for resins and polymers in line with the growing usage of synthetics has triggered the demand for drying Suspension Polyvinyl Chloride (S-PVC), Emulsion Polyvinyl Chloride (E-PVC), and other chemicals required for producing building pipes, cable insulations, and hard and soft foils, among others. Demand for spray dryers for industrial purposes is further expected to drive the market from 2019 to 2025.

Growing need for application-specific dryers is also offering new growth opportunities for companies to develop innovative equipment. For instance, the risk of explosion and emission of hazardous gases while drying chemical and pharmaceutical products has led to the development of closed loop dryers. Similarly, the need to process and produce powder particles in bulk quantities is leading to a significant adoption of three-stage equipment. However, high installation and maintenance costs and the inability of spray dryers to process highly-viscous materials, such as starch and fruit pulp, may hinder the market growth over the forecast period.
