Plant-based Protein Processing Equipment Market by Type (Dryers, Centrifuges, Filtration Systems, Mixers, Evaporators), Mode of Operation (Automatic), Production Capacity (SMEs, Large Scale), Application (Soy Protein, Pea Protein) - Forecast to 2029

The research report titled, ‘Plant-Based Protein Processing Equipment Market by Type (Dryers, Centrifuges, Filtration Systems, Mixers, Evaporators), Mode of Operation (Automatic), Production Capacity (SMEs, Large Scale), Application (Soy Protein, Pea Protein) - Forecast to 2029’, provides an in-depth analysis of the plant-based protein processing equipment market in five major geographies and emphasizes on the current market trends, size, share, and recent developments and forecast till 2029. The Global Plant-based Protein Processing Equipment Market is projected to reach $1.68 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period.

The growth of this market is attributed to the growing need to increase productivity, the increasing focus of plant-protein manufacturers to reduce production costs, increased investment in the plant-based protein industry, and increased usage of plant protein as an ingredient in various food & beverage products. Moreover, growing markets such as Asia, Latin America, and Africa and the increasing plant-based food market are expected to create lucrative opportunities for players operating in this market.

However, the high equipment cost and the preference for animal-based protein ingredients are expected to hinder the growth of this market to some extent.

The study offers a comprehensive analysis of the global plant-based protein processing equipment market segmented by type (dryers, centrifuges, filtration systems, mixing systems, evaporators, boilers, and other equipment), mode of operation (semi-automatic and automatic), production capacity (small & medium scale and large scale), application (soy protein, wheat protein, pea protein, and other plant-based protein), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyses the regional and country-level markets.

Based on type, the global plant-based protein processing equipment market is segmented into dryers, centrifuges, filtration systems, mixing systems, evaporators, boilers, and other equipment. The filtration systems segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to its benefits over conventional separation methods, the rising awareness about filtration processes, and the increasing demand for better quality products.

Based on mode of operation, the global plant-based protein processing equipment market is segmented into semi-automatic and automatic. In 2022, the semi-automatic segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global plant-based protein processing equipment market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to its benefits, such as greatly improved labor productivity, flexibility in production processes, and technical & economic feasibility. However, the automatic segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the production capacity, the global plant-based protein processing equipment market is mainly segmented into small & medium scale and large scale. In 2022, the small & medium scale segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the global plant-based protein processing equipment market. The large market share of this market is attributed to increased government support for developing small-scale processing enterprises, low financing needs, and increased productivity. This segment is also projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the increasing need for flexibility and innovation in the plant-based protein processing sector.

Based on application, the global plant-based protein processing equipment market is segmented into soy protein, wheat protein, pea protein, and other protein. In 2022, the soy protein segment is expected to account for the largest share of the plant-based protein processing equipment market. However, the pea protein segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the increasing soy-free and gluten-free trend and the growing investment in pea protein manufacturing.

Based on geography, the plant-based protein processing equipment market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2022, the North America market is expected to account for the major share of the global plant-based protein processing equipment market. The leading position of this regional market is primarily attributed to the high presence of key plant-protein manufacturers, the growing awareness level regarding vegan products, a well-established economy, and increased investment in R&D for food processing equipment. However, Asia-Pacific plant-based protein processing equipment market is developing and expanding significantly.

The key players operating in the global plant-based protein processing equipment market are Alfa Laval AB (Sweden), Bühler AG (Switzerland), GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft (Germany), Flottweg SE (Germany), SPX Flow Inc. (U.S.), Coperion GmbH (Germany), Hosokawa Micron B.V. (Netherlands), Netzsch-Feinmahltechnik GmbH (Germany), SiccaDania (Denmark), Koch Separation Solutions (U.S.), Bepex International LLC (U.S.), and Clextral (France).
