How is the Growing Emphasis on Improving Energy Efficiency Favoring Contact & Convective Dryers Sales?

Industrial drying has emerged as a vital process, accounting for 12% to 25% of the total industrial energy consumption. With the increasing emphasis on declining energy consumption, contact dryers are gaining popularity owing to their ability to improve industrial energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gases emission.

Also, governments in various countries are implementing stringent regulations to curb carbon dioxide emissions and improve industrial energy efficiency. This also has resulted in higher uptake of contact dryers. Within the pharmaceutical sector contact dryers are often used in the preparation of granules for tablets and capsules.

Within the food processing industry, the typical application of drying includes dairy products, coffee and coffee surrogates, processed cereals, starch derivatives, and potatoes. Demand in diverse sectors is likely to increase as the focus on reducing energy consumption rises. This will present lucrative scope for the market.

Country-wise Analysis

Why are Sales of Contact & Convective Dryers Accelerating in China?

Rapid Growth of Industrial Processing Verticals to Propel Demand for Contact and Convective Dryers

FMI states that China is projected to account for the dominant share in the East Asia contact & convective dryers market through 2029.

Fast-paced expansion of the industrial processing sector in China, owing to increasing production and exports of chemicals and pharmaceuticals products is favoring the growth in the market. Also, the increasing adoption of high-performance industrial equipment for meeting complex drying requirements, especially for powdered products is propelling the demand for contact & convective dryers in the country.
