Food Product Machinery Market Report 2026

The food product machinery market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $44.93 billion in 2025 to $47.12 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of commercial food manufacturing, increasing mechanization of food production, rising demand for processed foods, availability of standardized food machinery, expansion of industrial kitchens.

The food product machinery market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $58.55 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in automated food plants, rising demand for flexible production systems, expansion of global food trade, growing focus on sustainable food production, increasing adoption of digital manufacturing technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for integrated food production machinery, rising adoption of automated handling systems, growing use of energy-efficient processing equipment, expansion of high-capacity machinery, enhanced focus on production scalability.

The expanded scope of the food and beverage industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the food product machinery market in the coming years. The food and beverage sector encompasses all companies involved in processing, packaging, and distributing raw food materials and converting them into consumer-ready products. Food product machinery improves efficiency, consistency, and safety in food and beverage production, contributing to the diverse range of products available to consumers. For example, in April 2025, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), a UK-based government agency, reported that expenditure on food and drink consumed outside the home in the UK rose by 0.6%, increasing from $146.5 billion (£116.9 billion) in 2022 to $147.5 billion (£117.6 billion) in 2023. Consequently, the growing scope of the food and beverage industry is expected to support the expansion of the food product machinery market.

Key players in the food product machinery market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as automated production line concepts, to address the rising demand for higher efficiency, lower labor costs, and improved product consistency in food processing. These automated production line concepts integrate robotics, smart sensors, and modular machinery to optimize food manufacturing processes, replacing traditional manual or semi-automated systems that require more labor and are prone to inconsistencies. For instance, in September 2025, GEA, a Germany-based industrial engineering company, introduced its Automated Line Concept, a technology designed to streamline the entire food production process. The system features fully integrated machines capable of automated conveying, portioning, and packaging, supported by digital monitoring for real-time process control. Its modular design allows flexible reconfiguration for different product types, reducing downtime and increasing throughput. The technology also improves hygiene standards by minimizing direct human contact and can be applied across bakery, dairy, and prepared food production lines.

In August 2025, The Middleby Corporation, a US-based foodservice and food-processing equipment company, acquired Oka-Spezialmaschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Middleby seeks to expand its food-processing equipment portfolio by incorporating Oka’s industrial extrusion, molding, depositing, and cutting production systems for bakery, confectionery, and pet-food markets, thereby strengthening its full-line bakery and processing solutions for customers. Oka-Spezialmaschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, based in Germany, specializes in designing and manufacturing industrial bakery and food-production equipment, including extrusion, molding, depositing, and cutting machines.
