Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
The growth in the pharmaceutical sector in conjunction with drug development is anticipated to drive the demand for ultra-pure crystals. This, along with increasing demand for crystallization in the chemical industry, is expected to foster the market's growth. For instance, according to an article published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in July 2022, protein crystallization accounted for more the 500 experiments conducted in space and has been one of the critical experiments on the International Space Station (ISS). The growing significance of larger space-grown protein crystals, which are larger and have fewer defects, are promoting key stakeholders to invest in research activities and further develop crystallizers based on the technology on the scale. This is a crucial market trend shaping the market and is expected to support the market's growth.
Moreover, increasing demand for chemical crystals as raw materials to conduct chemical reactions, along with the high number of crystallization applications in various fields of science, such as nanoparticle technology and flow chemistry, are further projected bolster product demand. The adoption of crystallization in food technology and the rising demand of food grade crystals to produce processed food is projected to increase the demand for industrial crystallizers.

Forced circulation segment is expected to witness the fastest growth
The increasing demand for forced circulation crystallizers and higher adoption of forced circulation technologies such as draft tubes and submerged circulating crystallizers among industry stakeholders is projected to foster market growth. Moreover, the technology is better suited to the production requirements of continuous crystallization owing to which the demand for the product is increased. For instance, in August 2022, France Evaporation announced the commercial delivery of a Skid Evaporator to the Government of Tunisia as part of a contract across the Atlantic. The development establishes the company's market presence globally, supplying the increasing demand for crystallizer devices in the region.
The batch process accounted for the largest market share in 2021
The increasing demand for high-value chemicals in the chemical industry, and the rising need for flexible systems to manage complex chemical systems for producing these crystals, are expected to support the adoption of batch crystallizers. Moreover, innovative technologies integrated with batch crystallizing systems to improve control over product quality are also expected to grow the market segment. For instance, a research article published by Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research in 2022 reported the development of machine learning models and predictive control-based machine learning for batch crystallization. The integration of artificial intelligence in batch crystallizer technology to cater to the rising demand for handling toxic chemicals to develop pure crystals is anticipated to support the segment's growth.
The pharmaceutical sector is expected to hold a significant revenue share.
Crystallization is an essential step in the development of drugs, and crystalline properties of drugs influence downstream industrial processing of drugs due to ease of production and storage. The rising need for crystalline active pharmaceutical ingredients, along with the growing volume of pharmaceutical drug production, is anticipated to drive the uptake of industrial crystallizers through the segment. For instance, according to a research article published by IntechOpen, in May 2022, an estimated 70% to 80% of all small-molecule, active pharmaceutical ingredients require a minimum of one crystallization step in their manufacturing processes. This is to facilitate processes, such as filtration, drying, dissolution testing, and formulation, along with consistent production of crystals in order to specific properties such as crystal size, shape, and polymorphism.
The demand in Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth.
Asia Pacific is one of the most significant markets for industrial crystallizers owing to the growing industrial infrastructure among pharmaceutical, chemical, and food & beverage industries. Moreover, the high demand for high-purity minerals and increasing applications of crystallizers in the refining of these minerals is anticipated to drive the growth of the region. Further, the increasing demand of crystallized and refined sugar commercially and among households is directly augmenting the uptake of industrial crystallizers to ramp up production. Thus the rising demand of sugar is augmenting the growth of the crystallizer market.
For instance, in October 2022, according to an article published by the International Sugar Organization, some of the top sugar producers, including India, China, Thailand, Pakistan, and Australia, accounted for 70% of global sugar production. Some of the key reasons for growing sugar demand are attributed to the growth of population, increasing per capita income, and the price of sugar, among other factors. The increasing demand of sugar, followed by rising interest of market players in catering to the spurring demand for refined sugar, is anticipated to drive the market's growth.
