The Latin America Spray Drying Equipment Market size is predicted at USD 0.66 billion in 2024 It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% to reach USD 0.90 billion by 2029. It captures 12% of the global market.
Spray drying technique transforms the feed from a fluid state into dried particulate form by spraying the feed into a hot drying medium. It is a non-stop particle processing and drying operation. The feed can be a solution, suspension, dispersion or emulsion. The dried product can be in the form of powders, granules or agglomerates based on the physical and chemical properties of the feed, the dryer design, and the final powder properties desired. This demand for this market is very closely linked with the demand for processed food and related products. Investments and technological advancements are the primary drivers of this market. Stable GDP and rising awareness among consumers are other secondary factors driving the growth of this market. Spray drying though advantageous adversely affect the organoleptic properties such as the taste and color of the particular food product if its operation is not properly handled which is the primary restraint of this market. Moreover, its operational cost is very high because of the high consumption of thermal energy by the equipment which is the secondary restraint in the growth of this market.
Open Type
Closed Type
Spray drying has the potential to undergo growth in the future. Closed-loop spray dryers are ideal for handling slurries and drying them into the required powder form which is applicable for the coating of tiles in the ceramic industry which might be the reason for the projected growth in the aforementioned forecast period. The chemicals category is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment during the aforementioned forecast period because of the increase in demand for plastic resins and other polymers that will fuel the spray-drying equipment market.
