The market size of baking filling equipment shows a steady growth trend, and future development is mainly focused on intelligence, flexibility, and customization. Here is a specific introduction:
1.Taking the dual-color multifunctional filling machine as an example, its market size has shown steady growth over the past five years. In 2020, the market size was approximately 1.25 billion RMB, increasing to 1.48 billion RMB in 2021, and further expanding to 1.73 billion RMB in 2022, representing a year-on-year growth of 16.9%. In 2023, the market size reached 2.85 billion RMB, up 18.7% year-on-year, and it is expected to exceed 4.2 billion RMB by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of around 15%. Among this, in 2023, the procurement value of filling machines for the baking industry reached 1.26 billion RMB, accounting for 43.2% of the restaurant sub-market.
2.Smart filling machines that integrate visual recognition and IoT technologies will become the market mainstream. For example, fully automatic filling and forming machines with visual recognition functions are being increasingly applied in the food processing industry, and it is expected that their market share will rise from the current 18% to 30% by 2025. Smart control systems based on IoT technology are also favored in the market, with sales of fully automatic filling and forming machines using this technology increasing by 45% year-on-year in 2023, and it is expected that the annual growth rate will remain above 30% over the next three years.
3.Modular stuffing machines adapted for small-batch customized production will become the new market favorite. Equipment with a modular design can be combined with detachable filling dosing units and multifunctional forming devices, expanding its applicability to various food categories and meeting the production needs of companies for a wide variety of products in small batches.
4.The demand for customized equipment for special fillings (such as plant-based meat, sugar substitutes, and other healthy fillings) and special production processes will continue to increase. For example, some equipment manufacturers have already started developing dedicated filling solutions for plant-based meat products to meet the market’s production needs for healthy and innovative foods.
5.Future baking filling equipment may focus more on energy conservation, emission reduction, and environmental protection requirements, using more advanced materials and technologies to further improve equipment performance and service life, while reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.
