South East Asia Food Processing Equipment Market Driver

Increase in Popularity for Food Products to Augment Growth

• Urban growth in Southeast Asian countries is all because of the rise in consumption of processed foods. As per World Bank, the urban population in Indonesia is expected to increase at 57.29% in 2021. The most economically advanced countries (Brunei, Malaysia, and Singapore) have high levels of urbanisation. This economic development phenomenon makes a significant contribution to higher standards of living as well as income growth, which stimulates processed food consumption and production, and hence increasing demand for food processing equipment from food processors during the analysis period.

South East Asia Food Processing Equipment Market Restraint 

High Initial and Maintenance Costs may Cause Hindrance

• Manufacturers of Industrial Food Processing Equipment (IFPE) face significant barriers in the production of high-quality machinery, which is burdensome during the whole process of manufacturing. Aspects such as highly unstable raw material prices, demand for production facilities to be installed close to customers to ensure minimal transportation costs, and the necessity for continuous research and development and investment in emerging technology force equipment manufacturers to invest more, likely to raise the final price of equipment and makes it very difficult for food processors, particularly small and medium-sized food processors, to afford the equipment. This is limiting the potential growth for the Southeast Asia food processing equipment market.
