High-Pressure Processing Equipment Market Report 2024

The high-pressure processing equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.43 billion in 2023 to $0.46 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. The increase during the historical period can be credited to rising concerns about foodborne diseases, heightened emphasis on food safety, demand for longer shelf life, growing interest in natural food preservation, and consumer preference for minimally processed foods.

The high-pressure processing equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.66 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expanding utilization of high-pressure processing for sterilization and preservation, increasing awareness of nutrition and wellness, sustained investments in research and development for novel applications, and emerging uses in non-food sectors. Key trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in equipment design and automation, progress in packaging technology, the evolution of portable and mobile equipment, adoption of IoT-enabled and automated systems, and a focus on convenient and time-efficient solutions.

The high-pressure processing equipment market is set to grow due to increasing demand for processed food. Processed food undergoes alterations from its natural state through cooking, preservation, or other methods to enhance flavor, shelf life, or convenience. Factors driving this demand include urbanization, changing lifestyles, convenience, longer shelf life, and a wide variety of flavors. High-pressure processing equipment ensures food safety, extends shelf life, and maintains nutritional quality, meeting consumer expectations for quality and convenience. For example, in October 2023, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada reported that exports of processed food and beverage products in 2022 reached a record $54.3 billion, up 14.1% from 2021, representing 34.7% of total production value. This growing demand is fueling the high-pressure processing equipment market.

Leading companies in the high-pressure processing equipment market are focusing on innovation, developing advanced products such as the latest generation of high-pressure processing (HPP) systems to stay competitive. These systems use advanced technology to apply intense pressure to food products, preserving freshness, extending shelf life, and maintaining nutritional quality. They are crucial in producing safe, high-quality products such as juices, deli meats, and dips. For instance, in September 2022, Quintus Technologies AB introduced the QIF 400L, featuring the industry's largest diameter vessel and enhancing load efficiency by up to 25% in a more compact design. Quintus' HPP technology is recognized for its effectiveness in inactivating food pathogens by global regulatory authorities. These systems are designed for durability, performance, and low maintenance, optimizing productivity and reducing ownership costs.

In November 2022, Aurora Capital Partners acquired Universal Pure Holdings LLC, positioning the company uniquely in North America's rapidly growing high-pressure processing services industry. Universal Pure Holdings, LLC is renowned for its best-in-class service and extensive experience, making it a key player in the market.

High-pressure processing (HPP) equipment utilizes elevated pressures up to 87,000 psi (600 MPa) to preserve food and beverages without the application of heat. This technology helps retain nutritional content, flavor, and extends shelf life. Widely employed in the food industry, HPP effectively reduces pathogens such as bacteria and viruses while preserving the sensory qualities of juices, meats, and dairy products.

There are two main types of high-pressure processing equipment, horizontal and vertical. Horizontal equipment is designed with a sideways orientation, featuring vessel volumes categorized into less than 100 liters, 100-500 liters, and over 500 liters. Its applications span across tolling, juices, beverages, fruits, vegetables, seafood, meats, dairy, plant proteins, and more. Various industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, utilize horizontal HPP equipment.
