Construction, food & beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors have had major contributions in the global powder processing equipment market. Economic development across major countries is usually attributed to the significant industrial growth, which is due to the rise in demand from the end users. Moreover, China, Japan, and India along with South-East Asian countries are anticipated to witness high growth due to the rapid expansion in the manufacturing base and the increasing investment in powder processing equipment.
The raw materials required for manufacturing powder processing equipment are mild steel, carbon steel, high-speed steel (HSS), high tensile steel, aluminum, cast iron, rubber, and plastic, among other materials. The prices of these raw materials are increasing due to the depleting resources and the high demand from end-use industries. According to the World Bank, in 2018, globally, the prices of metals increased by 8.57% compared to the previous year. Furthermore, continually changing trade policies further creates market uncertainties and disrupts the supply chain, increasing price increments. Thus, increasing raw material prices is expected to restrain the growth of the global powder processing equipment market during the forecast period.
However, the powder processing equipment manufacturers are continually working on reducing the prices of powder processing equipment by developing cost-effective raw material substitutes and extraction methods. Thus, the impact of the increasing raw material prices on the global powder processing equipment market is expected to remain moderate during the forecast period.
