Freeze dryers are used for the preservation of various food products such as fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, herbs and food flavorings, ice cream and coffee. Freeze-dried foods do not require refrigeration or chemical preservation and can be quickly and easily reconstituted by adding water. Another major benefit of freeze drying food is its ability to produce clean, whole, nutritious food ingredients with significantly extended shelf life (making food products versatile and accessible). The use of freeze-dried foods is increasing for astronauts and military personnel due to major drawbacks associated with traditional drying methods. For example, the high temperatures used can cause chemical or physical changes in food products, and their overall quality is not comparable to that of freeze-dried food products. The benefits of new freeze drying equipment along with innovation are expected to drive the growth of this market.
Biosimilars are expected to fuel the growth of the biotech industry over the next decade. This is because, most of the biosimilars are expected to lose their patents in the coming years. An increasing number of biosimilars are being marketed as a cost-effective alternative to biopharmaceutical drugs for a wide range of chronic diseases. Growing research and development and the emergence of biosimilars will drive the market for freeze-dried biologicals and biopharmaceuticals. In recent years, more than 30% of parenteral drugs approved by the US FDA were freeze-dried drugs. Soon, more than half of all injectable drugs will need to be freeze-dried, which will further increase the demand for freeze-drying solutions in the pharmaceutical industry. This is a huge opportunity for the growth of global freeze drying equipment market.
The global freeze drying equipment market is expected to have market restraints like high energy consumption, high operating cost, long processing time, high capital investment and many more. Therefore, due to the capital intensive nature of this process, food, biotech and pharmaceutical companies are looking for an alternative. The spray drying market, which is an alternative to freeze drying, is growing rapidly and may slow down the growth of this market. Still, the freeze drying market is the best among all the alternatives and is used by others due to the biologically active products, stable operation and longer shelf life. These factors are expected to create hurdles for the market growth during the forecast period.
The major growth challenge for the market is maintaining optimum moisture levels and also the product quality. The freeze drying process often does not achieve the desired level of moisture removal; products are contaminated by the presence of excessive amounts of moisture and can pose potential threats to patients receiving these products. Furthermore, the removal of excess moisture can cause product instability, resulting in a loss of integral structure and biological activity. Accuracy in reaching the desired moisture content is therefore essential to avoid contamination of food and pharmaceutical products. The difficulty in achieving these desired humidity levels is a major challenge for producers.
