The processing machinery market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $101.98 billion in 2025 to $108.62 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising industrialization and expansion of manufacturing bases, increasing demand for mass production efficiency in core industries, growth in food chemical and pharmaceutical processing activities, expansion of global trade and export-oriented manufacturing, rising adoption of mechanized production systems in developing economies.
The processing machinery market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $141.1 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing integration of smart sensors and ai-driven automation in machinery, shift toward energy-efficient and low-carbon industrial equipment, growing demand for fully automated and remotely operated processing systems, expansion of precision manufacturing and customized production lines, increasing focus on sustainable modular and digitally connected industrial ecosystems. Major trends in the forecast period include smart modular and skid-mounted processing machinery design, energy-efficient and low-emission industrial processing equipment, hygienic and contamination-free processing systems for food and pharma industries, high-throughput continuous processing systems for large-scale manufacturing, advanced material-compatible machinery for corrosive and high-temperature industrial applications.
The increasing mining and mineral processing activities are anticipated to drive the expansion of the processing machinery market in the coming years. Mining and mineral processing activities involve the extraction of mineral resources from the earth followed by processes such as crushing, grinding, separation, and refinement to convert them into usable raw materials for industrial applications. The rise in these activities is being driven by growing infrastructure demand fueled by rapid urbanization and industrial development. Processing machinery plays a crucial role in mining and mineral processing by enabling efficient extraction, crushing, and refinement of raw minerals, thereby enhancing productivity, improving recovery rates, and increasing overall operational efficiency in mineral production processes. For example, in May 2025, according to the Press Information Bureau, an India-based government agency, iron ore production rose from 277 million metric tons in 2023-24 to 289 million metric tons in 2024-25, representing a growth of 4.3%. Therefore, the increasing mining and mineral processing activities are driving the growth of the processing machinery market.
Leading companies operating in the processing machinery market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as all-electric systems with energy recovery, to boost efficiency, enhance sustainability, and reduce operational costs and footprint. All-electric injection molding machines refer to advanced platforms where all main axes and the ejector are driven by servo-electric motors, enabling precise, energy-efficient, and high-speed movements without hydraulic oil. For example, in August 2025, KraussMaffei, a Germany-based machinery and systems manufacturer for plastics and rubber processing, announced the launch of its new all-electric PX series injection molding machine at K 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany. It is a completely redesigned, all-electric machine featuring a new structural design with optimized component arrangement, new servo drive technology with electric ejector, and a modular, space-saving enclosure. It includes energy recovery (recuperation) and a new MC7 web-based control system, enabling seamless digital connectivity, intuitive operation, and compliance with future cybersecurity standards.
In March 2024, Krones AG, a Germany-based manufacturing and technology company, acquired Netstal Maschinen AG for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Krones AG enhanced its capabilities in high-performance injection molding technology and broadened its portfolio beyond filling and packaging systems into plastics processing, thereby strengthening its position as a full-line supplier for beverage and packaging production solutions. Netstal Maschinen AG is a Switzerland-based manufacturing company that offers high-performance processing machinery.
