Southeast Asia Food Processing Equipment Market Segment Analysis-By Type
The Southeast Asia Food Processing Equipment Market based on Type can be further segmented into Meat, Poultry, and Seafood Processing Equipment, Bakery Processing Equipment. Beverage Processing Equipment, Dairy Processing Equipment, Chocolate and Confectionery Processing Equipment, Fruits and Vegetables Processing Equipment, and Other Food Processing Equipment. The Meat, Poultry, and Seafood Processing Equipment segment accounted for the largest share of the market in 2021. The rapid growth of this segment is attributed to the rising consumption of protein-rich meat products by the urban population. Moreover, the increasing popularity of processed meat products such as hotdogs, sausages, salami and beef jerky are further driving the segment’s growth. The Fruits and Vegetables Processing Equipment segment is also anticipated to witness significant growth at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period owing to the rise in health consciousness among the population during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Southeast Asia Food Processing Equipment Market Segment Analysis-By Mode of Operation
Based on Mode of Operation, the Southeast Asia Food Processing Equipment Market is segmented into Automatic and Semi-Automatic. The semi-automatic segment is anticipated to have the largest share of the market in 2021 and is poised to dominate the market during the forecast period 2024-2030. This is attributed to the high availability and low cost of labor in Southeast Asia, which makes operating cheap, but labor-intensive semi-automatic food processing equipment economical for the manufacturers. However, the Automatic Food Processing Equipment segment is projected to grow the fastest at a CAGR of 5.3% owing to the surge in demand for food products in the region. Even though automatic equipment is much more expensive, they are highly efficient. This enables the manufacturers to increase production to meet the growing demand.
Southeast Asia Food Processing Equipment Market Segment Analysis-By Geography
The Southeast Asia Food Processing Equipment Market based on Geography can be segmented into Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore and Rest of Southeast Asia. The Indonesian segment is projected to dominate the Southeast Asia food processing equipment market during the forecast period 2024-2030 with a market share of 27% owing to the rising population, rapid urbanization, growing tourist arrivals and increasing disposable income in the country. For instance, the Indonesian population increased from less than 211.5 million in 2000 to around 273.5 million in 2020. The high population growth is increasing food consumption in the region, thereby generating demand for processing equipment. The Vietnamese market is predicted to register the fastest growth owing to the increase in economic progress and growing demand for processed seafood products in the country.
Southeast Asia Food Processing Equipment Market Drivers
Increase in Urbanization is Projected to Drive Market Growth.
The rapid urbanization in major Southeast Asian countries is driving the demand for food processing equipment as the urban population tends to spend more on food products than the rural population. According to the World Bank, the proportion of urban population in Indonesia increased from 42.0% in 2000 to around 56.6% in 2020. Furthermore, the urban population of Vietnam escalated from less than 24.4% in 2000 to 37.3% in 2020, while the Malaysian urban population increased from 62% in 2000 to 77.2% in 2020.
Rise in Economic Development is Anticipated to Boost Product Demand.
The rising disposable income in Southeast Asia owing to rapid economic development is driving the market for food processing equipment during the forecast period. For instance, according to the World Bank, the per capita GDP increased by 2.7 times between 2002 and 2018. The value reached more than $2700 in 2019, enabling more than 45 million people to be lifted out of poverty. Moreover, the Vietnamese economy remained highly resilient to the Covid-19 pandemic as the GDP grew by 2.9% in 2020 and it is projected to grow at a rate of 6.6% in 2021.
Southeast Asia Food Processing Equipment Market Challenges
The High Cost of Food Processing Equipment is Anticipated to Hamper Market Growth.
The high cost of some of the equipment necessary for food processing is challenging demand generation in Southeast Asia. For instance, the cost of brewing equipment necessary for manufacturing some beverages can reach between $100,000 to $1,000,000. Moreover, industrial pasteurizer equipment for dairy product manufacturing can reach between $18,000 and $62,000. This is a major challenge as majority of the food processors in the region are small-scale manufacturers. The high initial investment costs make the equipment unaffordable to the vast number of customers. Moreover, the availability of abundant cheap labor in the region further decreases the demand for expensive machinery in plants.
Reduction in Tourist Arrivals is Projected to Limit Growth Opportunities
The tourism industry is a significant contributor to the Southeast Asian economy. Moreover, tourists purchase and consume a large amounts of traditional food products such as confectioneries, chocolates, native seafood, and fruits. The travel restrictions owing to the Covid-19 pandemic have drastically reduced tourist footfall in the region. This is challenging market growth during the forecast period. For instance, the number of foreign tourists vising Indonesia decreased by 15.1% to 126,500 in 2021. The number of arrivals by air in Bali, the center of the Indonesian tourism industry, reduced by 100% to almost 0, while the number of visitors to Jakarta dropped by 45.4% to 4,081. The tourism industry of other Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand, and Vietnam also suffered owing to the pandemic.
