What are the Historical Developments and Current Growth Metrics of the Dairy Processing Equipment Market?
The dairy processing equipment market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The growth of the dairy processing equipment market has been remarkable in the past few years. The market projections show a leap from $11.29 billion in 2024 to $12.05 billion in 2025, which translates to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%.
Several factors have contributed to this historical growth including a heightened demand for dairy products and their by-products, an emphasis on efficiency and automation in dairy processing, the escalation in dairy farming and milk production, rigorous quality and sanitation regulations in the dairy industry, implementation of aseptic and clean processing methods, and an increase in the number of dairy processing facilities and plants.
What Does Future Hold for The Dairy Processing Equipment Market Size?
The dairy processing equipment market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the dairy processing equipment market is anticipated to experience robust growth, reaching $16.17 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%.
This expected growth during the forecast period can be credited to the increasing demand for value-added dairy products and functional ingredients, shifting consumer preferences towards healthier and more nutritional dairy products, the adoption of eco-friendly and sustainable processing methods, heightened consumer knowledge about the quality and origin of dairy goods, and investments in the development of dairy processing technologies. Significant trends during this forecast period include high-pressure processing (hpp) technology, automated and robotic dairy processing, clean-in-place (cip) systems, state-of-the-art homogenization and pasteurization techniques, as well as the integration of smart sensors and IoT.
What Are The Primary Growth Drivers In The Dairy Processing Equipment Market?
The surge in dairy product consumption is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the dairy processing equipment market in the future. Dairy products, which include a range of items like cheese, butter, and yogurt, are derived from mammalian milk and require processing from raw milk. These products are perishable and need processing to inhibit the proliferation of detrimental microbes, thereby extending their shelf life. For example, according to The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, dairy product consumption in India is predicted to grow at the rate of 2.3% annually and is expected to hit 108kg per capita by 2028. Consequently, the escalating consumption of dairy products is a key factor propelling the growth of the dairy processing equipment market.
