Which Equipment Type is Gaining Traction in the Global Fruit Processing Equipment Market?

Demand Remains High for Pre-processing Equipment Type

Based on equipment type, the global fruit processing market is segmented into pre-processing, peeling/inspection/slicing, washing & dewatering, fillers, packaging & handling, and seasoning systems.

Among these, the pre-processing segment holds the largest share of the global fruit processing equipment market and it is expected to grow at a significant pace during the next ten years. This can be attributed to the rising adoption of pre-processing equipment in the fruit processing industry for cleaning

Fruits gathered from farms contain dirt, germs, biocides, and other harmful substances which make them unfit for direct consumption. To make them consumable and fit for further processing, pre-processing equipment is being extensively used.

Pre-processing machines automatically clean the gathered fruits in very less time, reduce human intervention, and eventually help industries to improve productivity.

Competitive Landscape

Leading players operating in the fruit processing equipment market are focused on introducing new and improved fruit processing machines to meet end-user demand. Besides this, they are adopting strategies such as new product launches, mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations to gain a competitive edge in the market.for instance,

• Bühler and the German research institute DIL Deutsches Institut für Lebensmitteltechnik e. V. joined together in June 2021 to create innovative manufacturing techniques for wholesome and environmentally friendly food products.
• With the purchase of Taiyo Kagaku Co.'s fruit preparations business in September 2021, the Austrian food manufacturer Agrana increased its market share in Asia. In accordance with the agreement, Agrana will also purchase Taiyo Kagaku's fruit processing facility in Yokkaichi, southern Japan.
