Report Outlook
The global freeze-drying equipment market was valued at USD 1,568.5 million in 2018 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.9% over the forecast period. It is the process of drying an already frozen product below the triple point using vacuum. The vacuum helps in sublimation process, thus, facilitates the direct conversion of ice into vapor. This process skips the intermediate liquid stage. This process is used to keep the product’s shape, color, nutrients and taste, thus making it a very gentle drying process.
Some of the applications of free dryers include fruits, vegetables, meat, instant coffee and tea, and prepared meals among others. In addition to this, these equipment are used for active ingredients such as enzymes, probiotics, and other functional ingredients for food products. Food processing industry is one of the major users of these type of dryers, as this process turns residual moisture into ice thereby, slows down the decomposition process. It also suppresses the growth of bacteria, thus preserving the texture and taste of the food.

Increasing demand for food preservation is anticipated to be one of the major reasons for the rise in demand for these dryers, thus driving the market growth. The rapid growth in food and pharmaceutical industry has propelled the need for these dryers. In the recent years, freeze-drying process has been largely used in the surgical procedures, thereby fueling the industry growth. Apart from this, flower preservation and leather preservation has also augmented the demand for these type of dryers in the recent years.
Pharmaceutical industry has been using these equipment in order to store and stabilize drugs. However, one of the major factors hampering the growth of free-drying equipment industry is the high cost associated with it. In addition to this, the growing market for refurbished products is also anticipated to hamper the growth of this market in the near future. The freeze dryer market is very competitive and marks the presence of large number of players. The major players in this market are majorly focused on food processing industry in order to create new opportunities in terms of revenue.
