50 to 100 hp segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022
The 50 to 100 hp segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022 and is likely to retain its market position over the projected period, which is largely attributed to the widespread use of the power range in numerous industrial applications, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and recycling among others along with its capabilities to handle a wider range of materials like tough and fibrous substances.
These types of knife mills can efficiently handle moderate to high volumes of materials while maintaining a reasonable energy consumption level, thereby industries seeking enhanced productivity and efficient processing are highly preferring these knife mills within this power range, which in turn, creates lucrative growth opportunities for the segment market over the years.
1001 to 1500 kg/h segment is expected to hold substantial market share during forecast period
The 1001 to 1500 kg/h segment is expected to hold a significant market share in terms of revenue in 2022 on account of an increase in the demand for efficient and reliable equipment to handle larger volumes of materials and a surge in the number of companies across industries who are increasingly focused on improving operational efficiency and productivity to optimize their manufacturing processes. With the growing emphasis on sustainability and waste reduction, several industries worldwide are seeking equipment that can effectively process and recycle materials, thereby propelling the adoption of the segment market.
The 501 to 1000 kg/h segment led the industry market with a substantial share in 2022, mainly due to the rising need for moderate to high capacity reduction processes and the growing popularity of these knife mills due to their ability to provide consistent and uniform particle size reduction, which is very critical in industries that require precise control over product quality.
Plastic segment is anticipated to witness highest growth
The plastic segment is anticipated to grow at a healthy CAGR during the forecast period, which is highly attributable to the significant prevalence of processing plastic materials with the help of knife mills for reducing them into tiny small particles or powders to be used in various industrial applications. Moreover, with the increasing concern over plastic waste and environmental sustainability, there is a continuously surging need for effective waste management solutions, propelling the demand for efficient knife mills in plastic recycling, size reduction, and shredding plastic materials.
Advancements in knife mill technology, such as improved cutting mechanisms, enhanced control systems, and automation, are enabling higher processing capacities, energy efficiency, and productivity, meeting the increasing demands of the plastic industry and contributing positively towards the segment market.
Asia Pacific region dominated the global market in 2022
The Asia Pacific region dominated the market with considerable market share in 2022, driven by the rapid industrialization and infrastructure development mainly in countries like China, India, and Southeast Asian nations, and increased usage of these machines for various applications such as material processing, size reduction, and sample preparation in industries like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and construction materials.
Additionally, the growing implementation of government authorities towards favorable policies, incentives, and investment-leading infrastructure development plans, smart city projects, and research & development activities are boosting the product demand as key equipment for manufacturing and scientific advancements across the region.
North America is expected to be the fastest-growing region with a significant growth rate over the coming years, owing to the quick adoption of higher technological advancements and increased focus on waste reduction and sustainability across numerous industries.
