Food Processing Blades Market: Growth Drivers

Growing consumer demand for processed food drives the market growth

Global consumption of processed foods has rapidly grown in recent decades. The expanding global populace is a significant contributor to this rise. The global population was 7.3 billion people in 2015, and the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations projects that the number will rise to 9.7 billion people in 2050. As a result, consumers in urban settings have access to a much broader variety of food options than those in rural settings. This urbanization trend makes a significant contribution to rising living standards and incomes, which in turn have a larger impact on the affordability of processed food products. Thus, this is expected to drive the global food processing blade market growth during the forecast period.

Food Processing Blades Market: Restraints

Volatility in the price of raw materials impedes the market growth

Volatility in the price of raw materials is expected to hinder the food processing blade industry expansion during the forecast period as these blades are manufactured in stainless steel. For instance, according to SteelMint, the wholesale price of 2.5-8 mm HRC was Rs 55,250 per tonne as of January 1, 2021; the price increase that went into effect on January 5 raised the wholesale price to Rs 58,000 per tonne.

Food Processing Blades Market: Opportunities

Technological advancements are expected to provide a lucrative opportunity

In a variety of industries, there has been an increasing preference for automated food processors, which has led to the gradual phasing out of older models in support of more recent ones. As a consequence, the food processing blade industry has a promising future and the adoption of food processing blades has been facilitated globally. Additionally, ongoing technological development has led to the creation of blades that offer greater accuracy when cutting, slicing, and grinding raw materials, which are becoming more and more well-liked by end users.

Food Processing Blades Market: Challenges

The wear and tear properties of the food processing blades pose a major challenge

The wear and tear properties of the food processing blades, which leads to frequent replacements are expected to hinder the food processing blade market growth during the forecast period.

Food Processing Blades Market: Segmentation

The global food processing blades industry is segmented based on product, application, and region.

Based on the product, the global market is bifurcated into straight, curved, and circular. The circular blade segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period. The improvement of the workflow's efficiency and the optimization of the production process is responsible for the segment's development. For the processing industry, circular blades come in a range of designs, including those with beveled edges, smooth edges, notches, teeth, semi-circles, festoons, and involutes. Thus, driving the segment growth during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the market is segmented into grinding, slicing, dicing, skinning, peeling, and cutting/portioning. The grinding segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period due to its effectiveness in decreasing the food's particle size. Meat, fruits, veggies, and other foods are forced through a grinding plate in the grinding apparatus, which is preceded by a rotating blade. Besides, due to its effectiveness and wide adoption in hotels, restaurants, frozen food suppliers, and other establishments, the cutting/portioning application sector is anticipated to acquire momentum over the forecast period.

Recent Developments:

• In August 2022, AnyMind Group, an end-to-end business enablement company, together with UUUM, a Japanese multi-channel network and creator management and content marketing leader, announced ARAKA, a direct-to-consumer outdoor brand produced through AnyMind Group. Created by UUUM exclusive creator Tsuriyokadesyou, D2C has released its 6th product collection, a series of high-quality kitchen knives made in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, as well as cutting boards made of high-tech wood and rubber materials in Japan.
• In June 2019, to increase the yield and quality of beef and poultry products without halting production, GEA introduced a new high-performance system. Especially for lean cuts of meat that are prone to drying out during cooking, the MultiJector is an automated brine injection system that will make it simpler for food processors and produce a juicier and more flavorful finished meal. The most recent model from the company uses a method called maximum "time-in-meat," which means that the needles stay in the product longer during the injection. This improves brine uptake and evens out distribution, which has a significant positive impact on quality, efficiency, and yield.

Food Processing Blades Market: Regional Analysis

The Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period

The Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the global food processing blade market during the forecast period. The growth in the region is attributed to the expanding F&B industry, which is mainly driven by urbanization, a large base population, rising health consciousness, and rising disposable income, as well as the rising demand for processed food products in India, China, Indonesia, and Thailand. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, the food processing sector in India is a sunrise industry that has grown in importance recently.

Processed fruits and juices, pulses, guar gum, groundnuts, milled goods, cereal dishes, oil meals, and alcoholic drinks are some of the major processed food exports from India. India made agricultural and processed food export records in FY22, shipping out goods worth US$25.6 billion. According to the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics, exports of APEDA products reached US$ 7.4 billion as of April–June 2022, a 31% increase over US$ 5.7 billion during the same fiscal time. In addition, exports of processed vegetables and fruits increased by 59.1%, those of cereals and other processed goods by 37.66%, those of meat, dairy, and poultry products by 9.5%, those of basmati rice and non-basmati rice by 25.5%, and those of miscellaneous goods by 50%. Furthermore, in the Asia Pacific region, China is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period.

The growth in this country is owing to the rising demand for food processing equipment from Chinese F&B manufacturers, a growing food processing industry, and a significant number of food and beverage production facilities.

North America is expected to capture a significant market share over the forecast period. It is anticipated that the demand for fast food will increase quickly across territories like those in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, increasing the need for processing equipment. The demand for processed meat is expected to increase, and middle-class families' changing lifestyles will also contribute to this trend.

Europe is projected to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period. Europeans consume more meat and seafood than people in other parts of the world due to rising health consciousness among young people, rising use of processed and packaged foods, and upper-class society. Macroeconomic factors, such as rising spending power, population growth, and the rise in healthy eating behaviors, are the main drivers of the industry.
