The growth of the food product machinery manufacturing market is supported by the expectation of stable economic growth in many developed and developing countries. For example, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has projected global GDP growth rates of 3.3% in 2020 and 3.4% in 2021. Additionally, the anticipated recovery in commodity prices, following a significant decline in the historical period, is likely to contribute to market growth. Developed economies are also predicted to experience steady growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, emerging markets are expected to maintain slightly faster growth rates compared to developed markets in the forecast period. This stable economic growth is anticipated to boost investments in the end-user markets, thereby driving the food product machinery manufacturing market during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 outbreak had a significant adverse impact on the food product machinery manufacturing market in 2020. The disruptions in global supply chains resulting from trade restrictions and the reduced consumption due to government-imposed lockdowns had a restraining effect. COVID-19, an infectious disease with symptoms like fever, cough, and breathing difficulties, was first identified in Wuhan, China, in 2019 and rapidly spread worldwide, affecting regions including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Manufacturers rely on a steady supply of raw materials from both domestic and international sources, and the limitations on the movement of goods imposed by various governments led to production stoppages due to raw material shortages. The repercussions of the outbreak are expected to continue affecting businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is anticipated that the food product machinery manufacturing market will rebound from this impact during the forecast period. The outbreak is considered a 'black swan event' and is not associated with ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy.

Prominent companies in the food product machinery market are placing a strong emphasis on innovation to remain competitive. They are introducing advanced food processing machines like the CutMaster Generation 3, which utilizes AC technology to process sausages, poultry, fish, and plant-based food products. A case in point is GEA Group AG, a Germany-based manufacturer of food processing systems and components. In May 2022, GEA introduced the latest iteration of the CutMaster, specifically designed for the preparation of various food products, including sausages, poultry, fish, plant-based, vegan, and vegetarian items, as well as processed cheese. The upgraded system incorporates multiple technological enhancements driven by customer needs, such as integrated AC drives, to enhance the machine's flexibility, reliability, hygiene, and overall lifespan. This innovation aims to give companies a competitive edge in the food product machinery market.

Manufacturers of bakery machinery and equipment have introduced advanced continuous baking ovens to enhance production efficiency and maintain consistent product quality. Unlike traditional batch ovens, continuous baking ovens allow for a continuous cooking or baking process, ensuring consistent operations. These ovens are versatile and can be used for various cooking methods, including high-temperature cooking, impingement, convection, super-heated vapor, linear, or spiral cooking. Continuous baking ovens offer benefits such as faster bake times, increased throughput, precise control over the cooking process, improved product quality consistency, and reduced product wastage when compared to conventional batch ovens. Furthermore, they lead to reduced labor costs and can result in energy savings of up to 15%.
