Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. Although there has been a disruption in the growth of the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the key reasons for the increased focus on food preservation is the use of advanced technology in fruit and vegetable processing facilities. Manufacturers use innovative techniques such as vacuum packaging, freezing, and canning to extend the shelf life of processed products. Another aspect of food preservation in the market is the use of natural and organic preservatives.
Moreover, as consumers become more health-conscious and demand clean-label products, manufacturers are looking for natural alternatives to synthetic preservatives. Therefore, these factors are expected to increase the adoption of equipment and are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Due to the increasing consumption of exotic fruits, the demand for different types of fruits, including exotic fruits, has increased significantly around the world. For example, kiwi is an exotic fruit that is becoming increasingly popular and its health benefits have significantly increased its demand in India.
Moreover, the increasing consumption of exotic fruits and the increasing demand for processed exotic fruit products are likely to increase the demand specifically designed for exotic fruits. Therefore, these factors are expected to increase the adoption of equipment, driving the growth of the market trends during the forecast period.
Mycotoxins are commonly found in fruits and fruit products. Some of the mycotoxins are aflatoxin, ochratoxin A, patulin, and Alternaria toxins (such as the alternariol, alternariol methyl ether, and altenuene). High levels of mycotoxins in processed foods can cause illness and death in some cases. When fresh fruit is eaten as a whole, it has a naturally sweet taste and is good for health as it also contains dietary fiber and vitamins.
Furthermore, increasing consumer awareness of the disadvantages of processed fruits may reduce demand for processed fruits and promote the consumption of whole fresh fruits. Therefore, health risks associated with processed fruit products are likely to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
The pre-processing equipment segment will account for a major share of the market's growth during the forecast period.?Pre-processing refers to the first step before the main processing phase. The purpose of pretreatment equipment is to prepare fruits and vegetables for the main processing stages and ensure their quality, cleanliness, and uniformity. Sorting is an essential activity during the preprocessing stage, as it allows fruits and vegetables to be sorted according to size, shape, color, or any other desired criteria. Grading is another important aspect of preprocessing.

The pre-processing equipment segment was valued at USD 2,136.07 million in 2017. The ultimate purpose of pre-processing equipment is to prepare fruits and vegetables for the final processing stage. After completing these first steps, the product is ready for further processing techniques such as cutting, slicing, blanching, and canning. Pretreatment lays the foundation for efficient processing and ensures that the final product meets the desired quality and uniformity standards. Therefore, these factors are expected to increase the adoption of pre-processing equipment, driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Based on product, the market has been segmented into semi-automatic and automatic. The semi-automatic segment will account for the largest share of this segment.?The semi-automatic segment of the market refers to equipment that combines manual and automatic processes. An example of semi-automatic equipment is a semi-automatic fruit slicer. This machine is designed to cut fruits and vegetables into even, regular slices. Additionally, the semi-automatic segment offers flexibility and adaptability as machines can be adjusted or customized to meet specific processing requirements. Therefore, such factors are expected to drive the growth of the semi-automatic segment in the market during the forecast period.
