Segment Analysis

The high-pressure processing equipment market at the global level is based on Orientation Type, Vessel Volume Type, Application, and End-User.

High-Pressure Processing Equipment Market - Based on the Orientation Type

• Horizontal
• Vertical

The horizontal orientation type is producing the highest share in terms of revenue. The horizontal equipment is easy to assemble and disassemble and assures more throughput. The better specifications of horizontal high-pressure processing equipment provide a high throughput even as handling higher volume compared to vertical HPP led to the restricted rate of adoption of vertical HPP. The segment maintains operations with a huge volume capacity, with high significance in the high-pressure processing market.

The vertical segment possess the highest growth during the foretold period.

High-Pressure Processing Equipment Market - Based on the Vessel Volume Type

• Less than 100L
• 100 to 250L
• 250 to 500L
• More than 500L

The 100 to 250L vessel volume accounts for the largest share in the market. The cost of the equipment is low propelling the HPP equipment market growth.

More than 500L vessel volume segment is recorded to have a robust CAGR attributed to their high holding capacity.

High-Pressure Processing Equipment Market - Based on the Application

• Fruits & vegetables
• Meat
• Juice & beverages
• seafood
• Others

The juices and beverages application generates a profitable share during the forecasted period. The processing of packaged beverages is highly adopting high technologies fuel the segment growth. Consumers are changing their lifestyle habits from fruit-based juices to fruit juices. Juices and beverages are recognized as healthy drinks or breakfast or snacks options.

The meat application is growing at a quick pace in terms of both value and volume.

High-Pressure Processing Equipment Market - Based on the End-User

• Small and medium enterprises
• Large production plants
• Groups

The large production plants end-user segment is anticipated to grow with the highest share during the foreseen period. A large number of packaged meat producers are widely adopting the high-pressure processing technology to lessen the preservatives use over the products.

Regional Analysis

North America is scheduled to maintain its dominating position throughout the forecasted period. The demand for HPP equipment is increasingly driving the market growth. The high production of fruits and vegetables throughout the region. The production of fruit juices and the presence of large manufacturing plants throughout the region fuels the market growth. The U.S and Canada are the major contributors to the high-pressure processing equipment market. The advanced technologies and demand from the United States accumulate the growth in the region.

COVID-19 Impact on High-Pressure Processing Equipment Market

The sudden outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has hit the global economy. The high-pressure processing equipment has experienced a large downfall during the pandemic crisis. The quick eruption of the virus has originated in Wuhan, China in December 2022. Many countries across the globe have imposed lockdown regulations to avoid the virus from spreading.

The pandemic period has shut down the production and sales of various products in the loader and unloader market. With the strict lockdowns, the construction activities were halted diminishing the growing demand for the HPP equipment market. However, the lack of raw materials with a stopped supply chain and absence of manpower halted the supply chain of the high-pressure processing equipment market.
