Decanter Centrifuge Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Two Phase Decanter Centrifuge, Three Phase Decanter Centrifuge, Clarifying Decanter Centrifuge and Other Products), End User (Food & Beverages, Oils & Biofuels, Mineral Processing Industry, Pharmaceutical, Industrial Waste Management Industry, Chemicals Industry and Other End Users) and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Decanter Centrifuge Market is accounted for $6.49 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $8.45 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 4.49% during the forecast period. The decanter centrifuge is a tool used for dewatering solid-liquid mixtures, classifying solid mixtures, and separating two liquids with dissimilar densities. As a result of its capability to continually separate the various density components, it is often referred as a solid bowl centrifuge. The component’s density and rate of rotation are used to determine the separation. This reduces the settling time of the components by a large magnitude and enables more rapid and controllable results.
Market Dynamics:Driver: Rising need for wastewater management solutions
When wastewater is dewatered using a centrifuge, more water is removed than with other techniques, leaving behind cake-like solid residue. The extra sludge from the sewage treatment facility is thickened using a decanter centrifuge. It separates liquid and solid waste. Less tank space is required to hold trash due to dewatering. This method streamlines the job, which accelerates the market's expansion.
Restraint:Strict government regulations
Industrial wastewater is highly regulated. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established severe Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELGs) that restrict industrial effluent and discharge water in 1972 with the passage of the Clean Water Act. Manufacturers and industrial companies are obligated by law to use water treatment technologies before discharging within permitted bounds. These elements are impeding market expansion.
Opportunity:Growing awareness in process industries
Decanter centrifuges provide a number of advantages, including simple installation, quick start-up and shut-down times, a small footprint, versatility, and high capacity. It is crucial to the wastewater treatment, chemical, oil, and food processing sectors because it continually separates solid components from liquids in the slurry. Milk, juice, and fruit puree are just a few examples of the food products and by-products it is used to separate. The process industries growing awareness is accelerating market expansion.
Threat:High operating costs
Decanter centrifuges are continuous processing machines. In addition to significant water use, employing these systems results in high operational and energy expenses. The capital cost of the decanter centrifuge's equipment is invaluable. Due to the device's tremendous G-forces, it uses a lot of energy. For the scroll to last longer, hard surfaces and abrasion protective materials are needed. These elements are impeding market expansion.
Covid-19 Impact
A number of enterprises were temporarily prohibited from producing, processing, and importing or exporting due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Nations from all over the world adopted stringent laws and norms. Many businesses went out of business forever. The market for decanter centrifuges was negatively impacted by this pandemic.
The three phase decanter centrifuge segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The three phase decanter centrifuge segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. A 3-phase type separates solids from 2 immiscible fluids. It is a widely used equipment for separation of solids, heavy liquid and light liquid with specific gravity. It requires less conductor mass for the same voltage and overall power, compared with a two-phase centrifuge. Its power consumption and capacity factors are driving the segment’s growth.
The chemical industry segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The chemical industry segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its numerous applications. Chemical engineering and industrial centrifuge both heavily rely on chemical separation technologies. The centrifuge has several uses in the chemical industry, including hydrometallurgy, polymeric chemical fiber, biological product refinement, isotope separation, etc. The rapid development of the chemical industry and demand for explosion-proof nozzle-type centrifuges are fuelling the segment growth.
Region with largest share:Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the raising end user industries. South and East Asian countries have huge demand for decanter centrifuge. China and India are expanding rapidly due to growing biofuel companies. The expansion of food & beverage, chemical and mineral processing industries are expected to positively impact the market's growth.
Region with highest CAGR:Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the raising investments. With a strong presence of top producers like Flottweg SE, GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft, ALFA LAVAL and others, the decanter centrifuge market in Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom is quite steady. Manufacturers are also making large investments in the treatment of industrial waste. Additionally, producers place a strong emphasis on renting out two- and three-phase equipment, which is boosting market expansion.
