Key Market Drivers

The steady growth of the food processing industry is notably driving the market growth. The growing requirement for food processing as part of the food supply chain globally has helped increase the demand for machines in recent years. Due to the growing popularity of prepared foods that require little preparation time, food companies are increasingly expanding their selection of processed foods.

Additionally, the rising support to the industry through government initiatives in emerging economies, such as India, is expected to further boost the adoption of these processing applications during the forecast period. As part of the Union Budget 2017-2018, the Government of India announced a dairy processing infra fund worth USD 1.2 billion. The government also announced the relaxation of FDI norms for this sector, allowing up to 100% FDI in food product e-commerce. Such reforms are expected to boost the business of these processing companies and subsequently aid the adoption in the coming years. Overall, the growth of the global industry is expected to aid the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trends

The increasing marketing initiatives taken by companies are the primary market trend. Global companies are using a comprehensive marketing approach, employing various channels such as newspapers, magazines, social media, and TV advertisements, followed by online campaigns to promote their products. This creative strategy improves brand recognition and generates consumer interest, with social media being a crucial component.

Companies utilize social media, particularly Instagram, to showcase product uses and post engaging content to increase product reach and develop brand communities. Increasing marketing efforts are expected to drive the growth of the global market in the forecast period.

Major Market Challenges

An increase in tariffs on steel imports is a major market challenge. The main raw material used is stainless steel. In March 2018, the US imposed a 25% tariff on steel scrap imports to promote domestic production, causing uncertainty in the metals industry. This decision not only impacted China but also other steel-exporting countries such as Canada, Mexico, and Germany, resulting in global steel price fluctuations.

The US imported 35.4 million metric tons of steel in 2017, with China being the largest exporter. NAFTA countries, China, and the EU contributed over 30% of steel imports to the US. Additionally, China's efforts to improve air quality are expected to reduce steel production capacity by 14 million tons in Hebei, a significant steel-producing province. Overall, this uncertainty in the steel trade is likely to negatively affect manufacturing and vendor profit margins in the forecast period.
