Food Processing Machinery Market in the US 2016-2020

Overview of the food processing machinery market in the US

To comply with the regulations of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding safety in manufacturing facilities, it is mandatory for food manufacturers in the US to update their food processing machinery and facilities. These regulations are created to ensure the prevention of foodborne diseases. Organizations such as government authorities, industrial trade associations, and standard-setting organizations have formulated regulations in the food processing sector to certify quality and sanitation of food and beverage products and health and safety of the equipment operators. Such stringent regulations have propelled manufacturers to come up with machinery that meets food safety standards. Several food and beverage companies prefer food processing machinery that is accredited with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) systems. These systems are best practices for food manufacturing in which production is monitored at critical points to ensure quality and safety. Market research analysts at Technavio predict the food processing machinery market in the US to grow at a CAGR of more than 2% over the forecast period.
