The increasing use of pneumatic actuators in the food and beverage industry is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the high adoption of electromechanical and electric actuators may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 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.
The increasing use of pneumatic actuators in the food and beverage industry is notably driving the market growth. The growing demand for organic foods and tightening food safety regulations have increased the need for automated processes in the food and beverage industry. Manufacturers in this industry are incorporating automation and robotics into their product lines to make processes more flexible and agile to meet retail demand. Actuators are used in both food contact and non-food applications. Pneumatic rod actuators are widely used in the food and beverage industry due to their low cost.
New FDA regulations under the Food Safety Modernization Act focus on disinfection and hygiene, requiring manufacturers to ensure clean and well-maintained facilities. This has led pneumatic actuator suppliers to offer products in different designs and product variants to meet the needs of their customers in the food and beverage industry. For example, Parker Hannifin offers pneumatic actuators for food and beverage applications. Therefore, the use of pneumatic actuators in the food and beverage industry will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The adoption of IoT-enabled actuators for predictive maintenance is the key trend shaping the market. Vendors use predictive maintenance to improve accuracy and reduce production downtime. This is especially useful in industries with large motors. In industries such as oil and gas, mining, and chemicals, even a small amount of downtime can be costly, so IoT actuators can be very helpful. These actuators allow easy monitoring of actuator variables such as cylinder speed, stroke, temperature, and pressure. The integration of IoT and pneumatic actuators has been simplified thanks to the availability of modern sensors with high accuracy and low cost. When used with smart monitors, these actuators can communicate independently so they don't interfere with the main process line.
Also, many manufacturers such as B. Emerson have designed and developed edge gateways to collect data from machine components, analyze it at the local factory level, and compare performance to design parameters. For example, edge devices such as Emerson's AVENTICS Smart Pneumatics Monitor module provide users with reliable information about the wear status of pneumatic valves, actuators, and other devices, as well as the energy efficiency of pneumatic systems. Therefore, connecting sensors and pneumatic components to edge gateways significantly improves maintenance and safety, as well as energy consumption. Therefore, such advancements in pneumatic actuators will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The high adoption of electromechanical and electric actuators may impede market growth. Electromechanical and electric actuators are gaining popularity among end-users due to their energy efficiency, safety, and control. Modern industrial processes are equipped with microprocessors and programmable controllers that facilitate the integration of electromechanical actuators into the overall system. Electromechanical actuators provide precise control and contribute to process flexibility. Furthermore, unlike pneumatic drives, electromechanical drives consume power only during operation. Therefore, cost reduction is one of the main reasons for the popularity of electromechanical actuators over pneumatic actuators.
Pneumatic actuators offer significant savings in maintenance and energy costs compared to electromechanical or electric actuators. Additionally, vendors have launched more and more electric actuators in recent years, which is having a negative impact on the markets they serve. For example, in February 2020, Emerson Electric Co. released its ASCO Series 158 gas valve and Series 159 electric actuator. Designed specifically for burner and boiler applications, they offer OEMs, dealers, contractors, and end users a new fire safety shutoff valve option for improved safety, reliability, flow, and control. These factors have resulted in high growth rates for electromechanical and electrical actuators. This will hamper the adoption of pneumatic actuators, which will adversely affect the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.
