The demand for more energy-efficient dryers (for fruits, vegetables, nuts, and herbs) that can handle a variable load, are multi-purpose, automated, smart, and integrated with multi-functionality like peeling, grating, or cutting, is increasing. Additionally, for drying heat-sensitive raw materials, the focus is shifting from freeze-drying to more economical technologies. To achieve this, players operating in this space are coming up with hybrid or combination technologies that can help reduce cycle time and increase energy efficiency, while still maintaining a high quality of the dried products. However, the industry is highly fragmented with the top five players comprising less than 10% of the market share globally in terms of value, and they compete on the basis of technological innovation and advancements. Players leverage highly on their distribution network, contract relationships, and location advantage to supply heavy and large equipment. Players continue to look for more avenues and additional revenue streams to remain profitable in the market.
