Dairy Processing Equipment Market Driver

Demand for Processed Milk Products to Grow and Create Market Opportunities

• With rising birth rates throughout the world, it is expected that demand for milk and milk-based products would increase. Processed milk, milk powder, and protein concentrates are used in cereals, baby meals, and infant formulae because of their high nutrient content. They supply a range of proteins, vitamins, and minerals that are good for the overall growth of babies. Growing worries about newborn health and wellness will lead to an increase in the use of infant formula, which will fuel market expansion.
• Due to consumers' growing awareness of dairy products' health benefits, processed dairy products are becoming more and more popular on worldwide markets. Additionally, factors including population expansion, fast urbanisation, rising standard of living, and the introduction and modernization of cold chain facilities such refrigerated transport & storage are driving up demand and fostering market expansion.

Dairy Processing Equipment Market Restraint

Significant costs and processing time to impede the market growth

• One of the main factors limiting the market for dairy processing equipment is the steadily growing cost of power and energy needed to operate processing machinery. Processes like pasteurisation and evaporation in the preparation of dairy products also demand thermal energy. Compared to other processing machinery, pasteurisation uses a lot of energy, including electricity and other fuels.
• Large capital investments are necessary for dairy processing equipment manufacturers to install various types of processing equipment. This installation not only costs a lot of money, but also requires ongoing maintenance, which drives up installation costs and lowers dairy processors' operating margins.
