Crystallization Equipment Global Market Report 2024

Crystallization equipment encompasses machinery and devices utilized in both industrial and laboratory environments to facilitate the formation of solid crystals from solutions, melts, or vapors. Its importance lies in purifying chemicals, manufacturing pharmaceuticals, producing food items, and developing materials with specific structural characteristics.

Various types of crystallization equipment exist, including batch vacuum crystallizers, cooling crystallizers, draft tube baffle crystallizers, evaporative crystallizers, fluidized bed crystallizers, forced-circulation crystallizers, oslo crystallizers, surface-cooled crystallizers, and vacuum crystallizers. Each type serves distinct purposes for example, batch vacuum crystallizers are ideal for applications requiring very low temperatures and handling small material volumes. Crystallization processes can be categorized into cooling, evaporative, and reactive types, executed through either batch or continuous methods. Industries benefiting from these processes include agrochemicals, chemicals, food and beverages, metals and minerals, pharmaceuticals, and wastewater treatment.

The crystallization equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.34 billion in 2023 to $3.53 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. Historical growth can be linked to heightened demand for crystallization equipment in the plastics industry, increased pharmaceutical demand, necessity for high-purity compounds, rising interest in nutraceuticals and dietary supplements, and expanded industrial activity, including heightened demand for crystallization processes in medical industries.

The crystallization equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.41 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. Forecasted growth is expected due to pharmaceutical industry expansion, higher investments in research and development, stricter environmental regulations, increased mining and mineral processing activities, growth in the biotechnology sector, and escalating demand for high-quality, pure crystals. Notable trends in the forecast period encompass advancements in chemical engineering techniques, agricultural sector progress, technological innovations, advancements in crystallization technology, and biotechnological developments.

The growth of the crystallization equipment market is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for pharmaceuticals. The pharmaceutical industry encompasses activities such as discovery, development, production, and marketing of pharmaceutical products used as drugs to treat, prevent, or alleviate disease symptoms. This sector is witnessing rising demand for drugs, biologics, and medical devices, leading to increased spending on pharmaceutical research and development. Crystallization equipment plays a vital role in purifying substances through crystal formation, ensuring precise control over particle attributes such as size, shape, and purity, which are crucial in drug development and manufacturing processes. For instance, in June 2023, the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations reported that €42.53 billion (about $48.03 billion) was invested in pharmaceutical research and development in 2021 in Europe, showing a 4.62% increase from the estimated spending of €44.5 billion (about $49.84 billion) in 2022. Consequently, the rising demand for pharmaceuticals is fueling the growth of the crystallization equipment market.

Leading companies in the crystallization equipment sector are concentrating on innovating advanced products, such as multi-reactor crystallizers, to improve efficiency, scalability, and precision in crystal formation processes. Multi-reactor crystallizers use multiple reactors simultaneously to facilitate crystallization. For example, in April 2022, Technobis Crystallization Systems launched the Crystal16 version 3, a multi-reactor crystallizer tailored for medium-throughput solubility determination and solid-state research. The Crystal16 enables concurrent testing of various crystallization conditions, such as solvents, temperatures, and concentrations, to optimize the process. It features integrated turbidity sensors and adaptable software for creating phase diagrams and solubility curves, making it suitable for various industries.

In February 2022, CMM Group partnered with Condorchem Envitech S.L. to enhance their capabilities in designing, manufacturing, and installing vacuum crystallizers for specialized applications. This collaboration aims to leverage the combined expertise of both companies to provide comprehensive solutions to diverse industrial needs. Condorchem Envitech S.L. is an environmental engineering company based in Spain.
