Global Industrial Dryers Market - 2022-2029

Global Industrial Dryers Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

The global industrial dryers market reached US$ XX million in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

A machine that removes liquid or moisture from bulk materials is known as an industrial drier. Industrial dryers are far larger than domestic dryers and should not be mistaken for at-home laundry dryers or industrial hand dryers. Water treatment, air pollution management, food processing, paper & pulp, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and industrial production are just a few industries that rely extensively on industrial dryers.

Industrial dryers are used to dry substances and products such as trash, sludge, dairy products, grain, paper, plastics, fertilizer, and chemicals in these sectors. Industrial dryers are not utilized as laundry equipment unless they are enormous dryers put in a laundromat or a hotel. Sometimes, dryers also engage in sublimation when a solid changes directly into a gas. The dryers perform drying action using air, spray, and infrared drying methods. Of these, air drying is the most common. It works simply by bringing dried materials into direct contact with cold or hot air. Examples of cold and hot air dryers include fluidized bed dryers, rotary dryers, flash dryers, and freeze dryers.

Dryers can also engage in sublimation, transforming a solid into a gas. The dryers use one of three drying methods: air drying, spray drying, or infrared drying. The most popular method is air drying. It works by bringing the things to be dried into direct contact with either cold or hot air. Fluidized bed dryers, rotary dryers, flash dryers, and freeze dryers are examples of cold and hot air dryers.

Market Dynamics

The global industrial dryers market is expected to boost with rising demand from the mining sector to increase production efficiency.

Rising demand from the mining sector to increase production efficiency

Drying is vital for mineral processing; managing moisture content helps reduce shipping costs, optimize downstream processing, and produce a refined product. Mineral dryers, while similar to other industrial dryers in appearance, are typically built to withstand more rigorous demands than many other industries; due to the nature of minerals, mineral dryers are subjected to consistently harsh processing conditions, necessitating a dryer with heavy-duty components and materials of construction.

Anthracite, bituminous, sub-bituminous, and lignite coals can vibrate fluid bed dryers. It uses vibration to improve fluidization and transfer bigger particles, even if they are sticky or dusty. For finely crushed coal, conventional static fluid bed dryers are designed to dry the product thoroughly with in-bed heat exchangers.

Rotary dryers are the choice for mineral drying applications. Mineral drum dryer design varies based on the unique characteristics of the mineral to be processed. In general, however, one can assume that a dryer intended for mineral processing will meet certain objectives required by the industry.

In 2020, Lynas received a 14-meter industrial-scale dryer at the Mt Weld rare earth deposit in Western Australia to improve production efficiency. The kiln-dryer has been installed to enhance the efficiency of producing rare earth concentrate and substituting manual drying of concentrate in the sun. The dryer is also expected to bring cost savings and faster processing to Mt Weld, helping reduce moisture levels before shipping. It results in improved materials handling, lower freight costs and enhanced productivity.

Hazards related to fire & Explosion

Industrial dryers have high chances of fire and explosion due to various reasons, impacting the market growth. When a burning dust/air mixture is confined inside a vessel, such as a dryer, the hot combustion products' expansion is stifled and pressure rises, resulting in an explosion. Depending on the qualities of the material, heat or mechanical sparks generated by friction may have enough energy to ignite flammable powder/dust clouds or layers. When drying equipment has moving elements, such as rotary, conveyor, or trough dryers, fire sources are a concern.

Misaligned parts or overheated bearings, tramp metal entering the dryer, and the material itself are all sources of friction inside a dryer. The industries have witnessed an increased number of projects in recent times. For instance, In 2021, A fire inside an industrial dryer happened in Bristol Township's Croydon section. Boxes of a powder being dried caught ablaze. Moreover, in 2021, The South Bend Ethanol Plant in South Bend caught fire due to the dryer at the site.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The industrial dryer market has been stable during the COVID-19 pandemic. The dryers have important applications in diverse industries, in which some of the sectors faced uplift, while others faced downfall. The demand for industrial dryers in the pharmaceutical and food industry has grown tremendously. However, the market faced a decline in various major industries, including mining, cement, paper & pulp, and others. As the COVID-19 outbreak has slowed construction in many countries, the industry has seen lower demand for its products, leading to overcapacity. During the pandemic, overcapacity made the cement sector vulnerable to a sudden drop in demand. Companies have been operating at lower production rates, significantly affecting production and revenue. The mining industry in various countries has to face huge losses during the covid-19 outbreak. Mexico’s mining chamber has estimated that mining output in the country is expected to fall by around 17% in 2020; Coal India proclaimed an 11.2% decline in production in May 2020 compared with May 2021 and Minerals Council South Africa has estimated that mining output in the country is expected to fall by 8- 10% this year.

Segment Analysis

The global industrial dryers market is segmented based on product, type, application, and region.

High efficiency in drying fine powder particle sizing from 10 to 2000 mm will boost the demand for fluidized bed dryers

Based on type, the global industrial dryers market is segmented into fluidized bed dryers, rotary dryers, flash dryers, freeze dryers, spray dryers, conduction dryers, infrared dryers, and others.

Fluidized bed dryers provided effective solid mixing, rapid heat and mass transfer, and material conveyance. Fluidized bed dryers are more appropriate for drying fine powder particle sizing from 10 to 2000 mm than conventional drying methods. Fluidized bed dryers have numerous advantages, including uniform final moisture content, greater drying capacity due to better mass and heat transfer, higher temperatures, and higher quality products. Fluid-bed dryers may be designed to be continuous or batch. The wet powder is dried for a while based on the temperature of the inlet air and the final desired moisture content.

The dried powder is generally removed from the dryer's bottom, while some fine particulate may enter a dust-collector system with the drying air. Inside fluid-bed dryers, there may be spots where combustible dust clouds are produced. The density of the fluid bed is such that the fuel-to-air ratio is high to present an explosion hazard; however, fire risk can exist inside the bed. In addition, if the fluid-bed dryer structure is not adequate, there may be areas where the dried powder can remain inside, which can cause self-heating hazards.

In 2018, Shale Support announced the installation of a new dryer at the Picayune processing plant, which will double production capacity. The new fluid bed dryer is more cost-effective and easier to maintain than the rotary dryer alternative. The way sand is processed in a fluid bed dryer is very eco-friendly, and no chemicals are involved.

Geographical Analysis

Rapid expansion in pharmaceuticals will boost the demand for industrial dryers in North America

In 2019, North America accounted for 48.7% of world pharmaceutical sales. According to IQVIA, 62.3% of sales of new medicines launched during 2014-2019 were in the U.S. market, compared with 18.4% in the European market. Vacuum tray dryers are industrial dryers used routinely for pharmaceutical purposes. Most dryer users in North America are interested in reducing energy costs and exhaust volumes.

Moreover, strict regulations on the emissions from industrial dyers will also impact market growth. SCAQMD Air Quality Rules for miscellaneous NOx Sources (Rule 1147) cover industrial dryers' use and emissions for industrial dryers. The requirement mandates that the dryer can emit no more than 30 parts per million NOx and no more than 400 ppm of CO. Although specific to SCAQMD, various other districts in California and elsewhere across the U.S have similar limits and rules covering emissions.
