Industrial Agitators Market Trends
Driver: Growing need for energy efficiency, flow maximization, rapid mixing, waste reduction, and other advancements
The increasing requirement of optimizing mixing processes is pushing industrial agitator companies to develop industrial mixer that helps achieve low power consumption, flow maximization, rapid mixing, and other advancements. Mixing, blending, fluid handling, separation, thermal heat transfer, and other processes are integral to companies for production and manufacturing across various industries, such as chemical, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and other industrial markets. Rapid innovations and emerging trends in industrial mixer application are driving the need for more energy-efficient, speedy mixing and low costs mixing/agitation technologies in the said market. For instance, in 2022, SPX FLOW launched a new APV Flex-Mix Pilot industrial Mixer for the food & beverage industry to test small-scale pilot batches of low to high-viscosity product samples using a single unit. This pilot industrial mixer is useful for companies focusing on small-scale production or craft producers producing a variety of products in small batches. This helps cut costs and reduce waste during the testing phase due to small batch production.
Restraint: High costs for maintenance and repairs of industrial agitators
Industrial agitators require significant upfront investment by agitator companies. This might create a barrier for some agitator companies, especially smaller ones. The cost of industrial mixer can vary depending on their size, materials, and complexity. Furthermore, the maintenance process for industrial mixer consists of replacing worn parts and changing the lubricant, bearings, seals, and other components. Any wear and tear or fault in a component of the industrial agitators can lead to an expense to the client. The maintenance activity applies to various factors in an industrial mixer, including simple adjustments in components of the industrial mixer, troubleshooting by standard exchanges, fault identification and diagnostics, repairs, mechanical corrections, renovation, reconstruction, or complete exchange of the rotating part, and so on. However, the impact of this restraint is expected to reduce with time due to the growing advancements in agitation technology and the subsequently increasing opportunities for industrial agitators market.
Opportunity: Rising usage of industrial mixing technologies in several applications
Advancements in technology have led to the development of more efficient and effective industrial mixer that can offer greater control and precision in mixing. As more industries seek to improve their manufacturing processes and achieve greater product consistency, the demand for industrial mixer is increasing. This presents an opportunity for agitator companies to offer new and improved mixing equipment that can meet the needs of industries looking to optimize their manufacturing processes. Furthermore, there is a growing need for customized mixing solutions that can meet specific requirements. This presents an opportunity for agitator companies to offer specialized products that can be tailored to meet specific needs of different industries such as pharmaceutical, chemical and food & beverage. In June 2022, considering the increasing importance of using industrial agitators and industrial mixer in different industrial processes, Sulzer launched its latest addition to the SALOMIX industrial agitator family, the SSF150.
Challenge: Emerging trend of renting industrial mixer due to high costs or shorter time span usage
Users or purchasers of industrial agitators or industrial mixer may look for options other than capital purchases. If a client is not able to afford the industrial mixer or needs the industrial mixer for a shorter time, then renting industrial mixer can be considered the most reliable option. This is one of the suitable alternatives garnering attention in the industrial agitators market for rental industrial agitators/industrial mixer. Rental industrial mixer offers a fast and cost-effective way of fulfilling the need without the high cost of a capital purchase, allowing purchasers to fulfill their mixing needs at a fraction of the original industrial mixer cost. This would largely benefit the buyers at a time when most of the end-user industries are considering or have already slashed their capital expenditure budgets.
