Introduction
The global industrial dryers market is projected to grow from its current value, with forecasts by Stratview Research estimating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 4.5% through 2028, reaching roughly US $4.6 billion. This industrial dryers market growth underscores the increasing relevance of industrial drying equipment across manufacturing sectors.
Applications
Industrial dryers find use across a diverse array of end-use sectors—food processing, pharmaceuticals, fertilisers, chemicals, cement and more. Stratview’s segmentation identifies “direct”, “indirect” and “specialty” product types, as well as types such as rotary, fluidised-bed and spray dryers. Applications include moisture removal, drying of powders, granules and bulk materials, and solvent recovery. The food & beverage sector in particular is a dominant user, as drying is critical to shelf-life extension and quality control.
Key Drivers
Energy efficiency and sustainability are strong drivers: manufacturers increasingly prefer drying solutions that lower both consumption and emissions. Stratview emphasises the shift toward energy-efficient and sustainable drying solutions. Growth in processed food demand, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and chemicals also propels market expansion. Further, regulatory pressure and the need for high-quality, consistent drying outcomes creates demand for advanced drying technologies.
Future Opportunities
Emerging opportunities lie in the development of smart, modular and customised drying systems. Integration of IoT, real-time monitoring, and automation allows better process control and lower operating costs. The push for greener manufacturing offers tailwinds for advanced dryers that meet stricter environmental standards. Also, growth in emerging markets (Asia-Pacific, India) opens new regional opportunities as industrialisation expands.
