Market Overview:
The global retort machine market size reached US$ 1.55 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 2.36 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.17% during 2023-2028. The widespread adoption of retort machine in the food and beverage (F&B) sector, significant technological advancements, and the increasing need for effective sterilizing and packaging facilities with great storability capability to preserve the product quality represent some of the key factors driving the market.
A retort machine is an integrated cylindrical food processing solution specially designed to commercially sterilize or thermally process various hermetically sealed edible goods to extend the product life expectancy. It includes filtration, irradiation, heating, and chemical usage as standard food sterilization methods. These approaches are usually employed to mitigate microorganism contamination caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, and unicellular organisms. Retort machine provides effective shelf stability similar to canned products, eliminates the need for refrigeration during transportation, and reduces cooking time, resulting in minimal energy consumption and less food degradation. Apart from this, the retort machine is reliable, improves the product texture quality, taste and appearance, and increases the retention of diverse nutritional values. As a result, the retort machine is frequently used for aseptic packaging and sterilizing several consumer goods.
Retort Machine Market Trends:
The widespread adoption of retort machines in the food and beverage (F&B) sector to prevent product deterioration represents a prime factor driving the market toward growth. Furthermore, an increasing need for effective sterilizing and packaging facilities with great storage capability to preserve the quality of various dairy products, meats, beverages, and cereals, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. This can be further attributed to the rising consumption of several ready-to-eat (RTE) packaged food and carbonated drinks due to changing consumer preferences that have facilitated the need for retort machines to preserve their quality, flavors, and nutrients. Additionally, the growing incidences of food-borne diseases on account of contamination and the shifting consumer inclination toward food products that are produced ensuring hygiene and in a safe manner has intensified the product demand, which is supporting the market growth. Moreover, the advent of non-thermal sterilization procedures, significant technological advancements in food processing units and the uptake of advanced retort machines to monitor the temperature of products comprising seasonings, herbs, and spices, are propelling the market growth. Other factors, such as the recent development of eco-friendly food processing techniques and major mergers and acquisitions (M&A) amongst key players to engineer enhanced product variants, are creating a positive outlook for the market across the globe. Other factors, such as steadily expanding food and beverage (F&B) sector and extensive research and development (R&D) activities, are driving the market growth.
