The high-pressure processing equipment market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The high-pressure processing equipment market has seen strong growth in recent years. It will grow from $0.46 billion in 2024 to $0.51 billion in 2025, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%.
The growth during the historical period is due to rising concerns about foodborne illnesses, a stronger focus on food safety, demand for longer shelf life, increasing preference for natural food preservation, and consumer demand for minimally processed foods.
The high-pressure processing equipment market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The high-pressure processing equipment market is forecasted to reach $0.72 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 9.0%.
Factors driving growth include increasing use for sterilization and preservation, rising wellness awareness, continued R&D investment, and emerging non-food applications. Trends include innovations in equipment design, packaging advancements, portable systems, IoT-enabled automation, and time-saving solutions.
The growing number of autonomous vehicles is expected to fuel the highway driving assist market. Autonomous vehicles are self-driving cars that utilize sensors, computer systems, and AI to operate without human intervention. The demand for autonomous vehicles is increasing due to advancements in technology and investments in safety and efficiency. Highway driving assist systems improve navigation, decision-making, and safety in these vehicles. According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, 3.5 million autonomous vehicles are expected on U.S. roads by 2025, with projections reaching 4.5 million by 2030. Additionally, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers predicts that by 2040, 75% of vehicles worldwide will be autonomous. Thus, the growing number of autonomous vehicles is driving the highway driving assist market.

Key players in the high-pressure processing equipment industry are increasing their competitiveness through the development of innovative solutions like the latest high-pressure processing (HPP) units. These modern HPP systems leverage cutting-edge technology to exert extreme pressure on food items, maintaining their freshness, extending their shelf life, and preserving their nutritional value. They are essential within the food sector for the creation of minimally processed, safe, and superior products such as juices, deli meats, and dips. For example, in September 2022, Quintus Technologies AB, a high-pressure technology firm based in Sweden, launched a new HPP system, the QIF 400L, that features the largest diameter vessel in the industry. The QIF 400L improves load efficiency by about 25% in a smaller design compared to older models. Global regulatory bodies recognize Quintus' HPP method as an efficacious way of eliminating various food pathogens. Their HPP systems are designed for remarkable durability, efficiency, and low maintenance, boosting operational time and efficiency while decreasing overall ownership expenses.
