This is expected to provide a gain of 190 BPS during the forecast years of 2022-2032. 

The top 5 players in the market hold nearly ~22% of the market share and are focusing on facility expansion, new product development, and small-capacity machines commercialization especially, with the capacity of 0-50 Kg/Day and 50-100 Kg/Day. 

Fact.MR projects the food waste recycling machine market is expected to witness exhibiting growth at 6.6% CAGR during 2022-2032 in comparison to a CAGR of 4.0% with which it grew from 2017 to 2021.

Efforts to Cut Back on Food Waste-A Precursor to Growth

Wastage of food is reaching alarming heights. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), more than 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted annually. Recycling massive quantities of waste are proving to be a challenging task for the government around the world.

For example, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and EPA following the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), declared in 2015, the goal of reducing food waste by half by the end of the year 2030. Even the European Parliament in 2018, as a part of the ‘Circular Economy Package’, backed a law to reduce food waste by 2030 and introduced recycling targets.

Initiatives like these are playing a vital role in triggering the global demand for food waste recycling machines by nearly 1/4th or ~25% of current demand levels.

Amelioration of Equipment’s leading to Higher Revenues

End-users are increasingly preferring advanced food waste recycling machines that are incorporated with superior functionalities and offers enhanced reliability.

For instance, the launch of BHTG Smart Mode food waste recycling equipment by BioHiTech Global in 2017, makes use of machine learning and cloud computing to boost equipment performance and makes the machines effective. Additionally, a product named ‘GG300s’ was launched by Oklin International, which comes with an infrared camera system, which aids to keep the operator up-to-date during the composting process.

Conversion of Food Waste-An Effective Step towards Recycling

The trend of converting food waste into fertilizer is increasingly embraced as one of the eco-friendly and effective ways of food waste recycling. This trend is attracting manufacturers to scale up the product as per the convenience of end-user.

For instance, ‘Zera food recycler’ introduced by Whirlpool converts the waste food into organic fertilizer within 24 hours. In addition to this, ‘Harvester’ launched by WISErg, is an easy-to-use and self-contained machine, which converts food waste into organic fertilizers. All the above-listed factors, is expected to boost the demand for food waste recycling machines by 2.1X during the forecast years of 2022-2032.
