Food Recycling Machine Market

Food Recycling Machine Market Outlook (2024 to 2034)

The global food recycling machine market is analyzed to reach a value of US$ 3.09 billion in 2024, according to a new research report published by Fact.MR. Demand is forecasted to rise at a 6.7% CAGR to achieve a value of US$ 5.92 billion by the end of 2034.

The market for food recycling machines is primarily driven by the rising volume of food waste produced globally. The amount of garbage generated by the world's growing food production raises the need for effective recycling solutions. These devices aid in the reduction of waste and promote sustainability by turning food waste into beneficial goods, such as compost or biogas.

Growing concerns about environmental sustainability and waste management are pushing industries and governments to find solutions to reduce food waste. Food recycling machines contribute to reducing landfill waste, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and improving overall environmental impact, aligning with the global push for more sustainable practices.

Demand for recycling machines is rising due to the expansion of the food processing and hospitality industries, which produce significant amounts of food waste. To achieve waste management objectives, improve operational effectiveness, and lower waste disposal expenses, these industries are widely implementing food recycling technology.

The North American region is forecasted to account for 29.1% of the worldwide food recycling machine market share in 2024 due to strict waste management laws, a strong emphasis on sustainability, and the expansion of the food processing industry. Because of government incentives to reduce trash sent to landfills, businesses and municipalities in the United States are aggressively implementing food recycling solutions.

Based on power rating, demand for food recycling machines up to 250W is analyzed to reach US$ 1.05 billion in 2024 because of its adaptability and effectiveness in managing medium to large volumes of food waste. For commercial environments where food waste control is a serious problem, such as restaurants, hotels, and food processing companies, these machines provide the perfect power range.

According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), more than a third of the food produced globally, goes waste, annually. The HoReCa sector, QSRs, foodservice sites, supermarkets and hypermarkets, other food-related businesses, and households generate colossal volumes of food waste daily.

Food leftovers and the waste generated during production, processing, and distribution within the food and beverages industry continue to create rampant food wastage volumes. As an integral part of the sustainable food waste management system, food recycling machines serve to convert food waste into products or materials that are useful in terms of achieving sustainability of the environment.

Food recycling machines tend to reduce both the weight and volume of wasted food scrap by almost 80-90%, delivering the output suitable for usage as manure or organic fertilizer. Collection, separation, and recycling are the three key steps of a typical food waste recycling procedure.

Global Food Recycling Machine Market: Key Dynamics

At present, food waste recycling machines are witnessing promising demand owing to the increasing number of proactive sustainable waste management initiatives, strongly complemented by visibly strong adoption within the restaurant sector as well as across the largest retail channels, such as supermarkets.

Consistently soaring levels of food waste generation and reported incompetency of conventional food waste composting methods are also underpinning the demand for the growth of food recycling machines. The food recycling machine market is expected to take off in coming years, as both, the need for disposal costs reduction and the concerns regarding noxious emissions, intensify. Food waste recycling machine manufacturers are exploring opportunities created because of the shift of food waste from landfills to waste-to-energy plants.

The United States (particularly the Macon-Bibb Commission) and European waste management legislation mandate the privatization of food waste management practices - targeting households, and the development of food waste recycling machines - targeting food manufacturers, retail sectors, and service providers.

Agricultural waste also constitutes a major portion of food waste and thus, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries have been monitoring food waste in the agricultural industry.

The tightening regulations related to food waste management will favor the demand for food recycling machines. ROR (retail organic recycling) of food and other organic waste has been trending in the market recently, potentially delivering dual benefits - sustainable and economic, owing to the budget-friendly and efficient disposal design.

Global Food Recycling Machine Market: Regional Outlook

While North America and Europe have taken the lead in establishing a strong utilization base for food recycling machines, it is projected that the adoption of waste recycling machines will witness an impressive rate within emerging economies of the developing regional markets.

Increasing awareness about the significance of sustainable food waste management and the shifting cost-sensitivity of end-use consumers in developing regions will be crucial in widening the scope of food recycling machine's penetration within such markets.

Food waste generation differs across the globe. North America and Europe are at the forefront in terms of per capita food waste generation and the Middle East & Africa wastes the least amount of food. It is important to note that a substantial amount of food is wasted at retail & consumer levels in industrialized countries, such as Germany, the United States, and Japan.

Subsequently, these countries are observed to have a relatively higher number of food recycling machines. In terms of technological advancements in food recycling machines, Europe and North America possess highly advanced products, including automation. Emerging cities with fast-growing middle-class populations are encouraged to reduce waste by showing them the importance and advantages of food recycling machines.

Global Food Recycling Machine Market: Notable Developments in Competitive Landscape

While the leading brands in the food recycling machine market are focusing on the commercialization of low-capacity food recycling machines, NPD and production facility expansion will remain their priority over the coming years. A majority of brands in food recycling machines manufacturing space are investing efforts in offering value-based products, intending a stronger global footprint.

Whirlpool Corporation, among the pioneers of the development of automatic food recycling machines, launched Zera Food Recycler, which transforms food waste scrap into organic fertilizer within a 24-hour cycle.

Some of the prominent manufacturers of food recycling machines are investing in R&D, besides a few other key developmental strategies, including collaborative initiatives with top-notch research institutions.
