Food Metal Detector Market

Food Metal Detector Market Outlook (2023 to 2033)

The global food metal detector market size is expected to grow from USD 5,300.0 Million in 2023 to USD 8,152.3 Million by 2033, with overall sales accelerating at 4.4% CAGR throughout the forecast period (2023 to 2033). The rising focus on improving consumer protection is a key factor driving sales of food metal detectors in the global market.

Food metal detectors are equipment used for detecting ferrous, nonferrous, and stainless metals in food products. These inspection tools help food industries to ensure the safety and integrity of a wide range of unpackaged, packaged, or bulk goods, by identifying metal contaminants during processing or packaging and helping to ensure that they do not enter the food.

Metal locators for food are mainly utilized for purchaser assurance. Regardless of the greatest consideration, metallic defilements of food items during the creation cycle can't be completely barred. As a result, food manufacturers employ food metal detectors for this purpose.

The increasing incidence of foodborne diseases coupled with the growing need for improving consumer protection is expected to boost the food metal detector market during the forecast period. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), each year, unsafe food causes 600 million cases of foodborne diseases and 420000 deaths across the world. This is compelling food manufacturers to employ tools like food metal detectors in their facilities.

Similarly, enforcement of stringent food regulations across countries like the USA, China, Germany, and the UK will generate high demand for food metal detectors during the forecast period.

Furthermore, increasing production and consumption of packaged foods across the world due to changing lifestyles, increasing disposable incomes, and rapid urbanization will boost sales of food metal detectors.

Various types of food metal detectors such as bakery food metal detectors, sea foods metal detectors, snack foods metal detectors, and frozen food metal detectors are available in the market. This allows end users to choose any product type as per their specific requirements.

Regionally, North America and Europe collectively hold the largest market share of the global food metal detector market and the trend is likely to continue during the projection period. Growing focus on improving food quality, the strong presence of leading manufacturers, and favorable government support are driving sales in these markets.

Country-wise Insights

Will the USA Retain its Dominance in Food Metal Detector Market?

Growing Focus Towards Improving Food Safety Pushing Demand in the USA

As per FMI, the USA holds around 68% share of the North American food metal detector market and it is expected to grow at a steady pace during the forecast period. Growth in the USA food metal detector market is driven by rising food safety concerns, the availability of advanced inspection technologies, and the presence of stringent food safety regulations.

In recent years, there has been a sharp rise in foodborne diseases across the USA due to the increasing consumption of processed foods. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 1 in 6 Americans, or 48 million people get sick while 3,000 die of foodborne diseases each year. This has compelled food manufacturers to use inspection solutions like food metal detectors, which in turn is triggering market expansion in the country.

Why is India Emerging as a Lucrative Food Metal Detector Market?

Increasing Incidence of Foodborne Diseases Driving Market in India

With increasing government initiatives to tackle the growing burden of foodborne diseases, sales of food metal detectors across India are projected to grow at a significant pace during the projection period (2023 to 2033).

Today, most food processing companies across India employ food metal detectors to improve product safety and comply with government regulations. Thus, the rapid expansion of food processing companies will eventually boost the food metal detector market in India during the next ten years.

Similarly, the rising number of start-ups offering food metal detectors at much lower prices and increasing consumer awareness about food safety will aid in the expansion of the Indian food metal detector market.
