Market Dynamics
Drivers:
The growing impetus of the freeze-drying market is attributed to factors such as increasing contract manufacturing and lyophilization services, increasing demand for freeze-drying of new biologic drugs and injectable formulations and rising adoption of freeze-drying technology for delicate and sensitive materials of high value. Pharmaceutical industries have a significant contribution to the growth of the freeze-drying technology, backed by the various pivotal factors, such as growing contract manufacturing services in lyophilization, growing investment for R&D programs, and others. Additionally, freezing drying equipment is also finding increased usage in food processing due to growing inclination of individuals towards packaged food products on account of changing lifestyles, busy schedules and inflating disposable incomes. Freeze-dried products have a long shelf-life since this technology is protected against humidity, light and oxygen and can be stored for a longer time without affecting the quality and texture of the product.
Restraints:
Stringent rules and regulations in pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries act as a barrier to the growth of the global freeze-drying market. Further, the high cost of freeze-drying technology is also hampering the market growth.
Opportunities:
Rising demand for lyophilized products in the Middle East and Asia Pacific is an emerging opportunity in the freeze-drying equipment market. Further, the growing global and regional demand for sensitive and high value material and products in pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors will further create an opportunity for freeze-drying market.
Impact of COVID-19
Trade restrictions imposed due to COVID-19 have substantially affected global logistics and transportation, which had a negative effect on the food processing and manufacturing industry. The freeze-drying equipment market generates the majority of its revenue from the food processing and packaging industry. With the considerable impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the food processing and packaging industry, the freeze-drying equipment market registered a decline during the pandemic period.
