Global Food Processing Blades Market: Overview

A food processor is an appliance used in the kitchen that enables the user to quickly and easily perform monotonous food-making activities like slicing, grinding, chopping, and others. Food processor blades are the equipment’s essential parts that help to process raw material ingredients into food items through chemical and physical procedures. Food processors are available in different categories like slicers, roasters, separators, homogenizers, grinders, fryers, ovens, feeders, chillers, mixers, dryers, and others.

The food processing blades are utilized in various industries including nut, milk, fruit, & chocolate manufacturing unit, the beverage industry, industrial bakeries, the seafood industry, the dairy industry, and poultry farms. Food processor poses various automation control operation systems like drying, freezing, pasteurization, evaporation, cooking, and heating. These blades demand gentle handling and efficient control of pressure and temperature.

Global Food Processing Blades Market: Growth Drivers

Growing consumer demand for processed food drives the market growth

Global consumption of processed foods has rapidly grown in recent decades. The expanding global populace is a significant contributor to this rise. As a result, consumers in urban settings have access to a much broader variety of food options than those in rural settings. This urbanization trend makes a significant contribution to rising living standards and incomes, which in turn have a larger impact on the affordability of processed food products. Thus, this is expected to drive the global food processing blade market growth during the forecast period.

Restraints:

Volatility in the price of raw materials impedes the market growth

Volatility in the price of raw materials is expected to hinder the food processing blade industry expansion during the forecast period as these blades are manufactured in stainless steel. For instance, according to SteelMint, the wholesale price of 2.5-8 mm HRC was Rs 55,250 per tonne as of January 1, 2024; the price increase that went into effect on January 5 raised the wholesale price to Rs 58,000 per tonne.

Opportunities:

Technological advancements are expected to provide a lucrative opportunity

In a variety of industries, there has been an increasing preference for automated food processors, which has led to the gradual phasing out of older models in support of more recent ones. As a consequence, the food processing blade industry has a promising future and the adoption of food processing blades has been facilitated globally. Additionally, ongoing technological development has led to the creation of blades that offer greater accuracy when cutting, slicing, and grinding raw materials, which are becoming more and more well-liked by end users.

Challenges:

The wear and tear properties of the food processing blades pose a major challenge

The wear and tear properties of the food processing blades, which leads to frequent replacements are expected to hinder the food processing blade market growth during the forecast period.

Recent Developments:

• In August 2024, AnyMind Group, an end-to-end business enablement company, together with UUUM, a Japanese multi-channel network and creator management and content marketing leader, announced ARAKA, a direct-to-consumer outdoor brand produced through AnyMind Group. Created by UUUM exclusive creator Tsuriyokadesyou, D2C has released its 6th product collection, a series of high-quality kitchen knives made in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, as well as cutting boards made of high-tech wood and rubber materials in Japan.
• In June 2024, to increase the yield and quality of beef and poultry products without halting production, GEA introduced a new high-performance system. Especially for lean cuts of meat that are prone to drying out during cooking, the MultiJector is an automated brine injection system that will make it simpler for food processors and produce a juicier and more flavorful finished meal. The most recent model from the company uses a method called maximum "time-in-meat," which means that the needles stay in the product longer during the injection. This improves brine uptake and evens out distribution, which has a significant positive impact on quality, efficiency, and yield.
