The plant-based beverages processing equipment industry research report provides comprehensive data (region-wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD million" for the period 2024-2028, as well as historical data from 2018-2022 for the following segments.
The homogenizer segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
In the realm of plant-based beverages, continuous processing plays a crucial role in ensuring consistency and efficiency in beverage production. This method integrates various systems such as mixing, homogenizing, and cooling, enabling the seamless transition between processes. Plant-based milk alternatives, including pea milk, soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, walnut milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, oat milk, hemp milk, and others, undergo homogenization for improved texture and shelf life. Homogenizers, which utilize high-pressure pumps and homogenizing valves, facilitate the disintegration of fat molecules through cavitation and turbulence. Food safety is paramount in beverage processing, and aseptic processing, a critical component of continuous production, ensures the elimination of microorganisms.
High-pressure processing (HPP) is another technology that enhances food safety by applying high pressure to the product, thereby inactivating harmful bacteria. Blending systems enable the creation of functional foods and alternative milk blends, while line integration streamlines production and reduces costs. Heating systems, such as plate heat exchangers, are essential for pasteurization and sterilization. Control systems and quality control measures ensure the production of clean-label, high-quality plant-based beverages. Process optimization and conveying systems further enhance production efficiency. Plant-based yogurt, cream, cheese, and ice cream also benefit from these processing technologies. Ultrasonic processing is an emerging trend in plant-based beverage production, offering advantages such as reduced processing time, improved nutrient retention, and enhanced product quality. Overall, the plant-based beverage market is witnessing significant growth, driven by the health and wellness trend, consumer preference for dairy food, and the increasing popularity of plant-based diets.
The Homogenizer segment was valued at USD 759.20 billion in 2018 and showed a gradual increase during the forecast period.
APAC is estimated to contribute 64% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period.Technavio's analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
The market is witnessing significant growth, particularly in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. This expansion is driven by several factors, including the entry of global brands, strategic partnerships between suppliers, retailers, and global brands, government initiatives promoting plant-based food consumption, and increasing awareness about the health benefits of plant-based beverages. The vegan population is also on the rise in vegan food, contributing to the market's growth. China, Japan, and Australia are the major contributors to the APAC market. In China, concerns over meat quality and health issues associated with meat products have fueled the demand for plant-based beverages. Food safety, process optimization, and line integration are crucial considerations in the manufacturing of plant-based yogurt, milk alternatives like pea milk, soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, oat milk, hemp milk, and plant-based cream.
Aseptic processing, high-pressure processing (HPP), blending systems, conveying systems, cooling systems, and heating systems are essential equipment for producing these beverages. Additionally, functional foods and beverage, plant-based cheese, and plant-based ice cream are gaining popularity, necessitating advanced processing equipment. Quality control, clean label, and control systems are essential to meet consumer demands for health and wellness. Ultrasonic processing is also used in the production of plant-based beverages for improved texture and taste.
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
