Also, drying a product has various advantages, including convenience of packaging, handling, and storage of materials. There are numerous flash dryers available on the market for drying materials according to their specifications and requirements.

Furthermore, the availability of a large variety of dryers and their appropriateness for all types of materials has resulted in a significant increase in demand from end user sectors. The dome's technological progress contributes to an increase in demand for flash dryers in the near future.

Growing Demand for Customized Flash Dryers

Usage of various customized flash dryers is increasing in developed as well as developing countries, due to the increasing number of food processing, pharmaceutical, fertilizer and chemical industries and their production capacity. There is a shift in the preference towards customized flash dryers coupled with growing demand for dried food, chemical, pharmaceutical and fertilizer products into powder form.

Customized flash dryer machines are mostly used in various food industries, such as coffee industry, food powder, fruits, vegetables, flavor and other industries for producing processed food products and also, it has numerous usage in chemical and pharmaceutical industries for producing dried products.

Higher Operational Cost and Environment Regulations are Likely to Hinder the Growth of Market

Drying is a high-energy process used in the production of a product. It is estimated that the drying process alone uses 10% to 20% of the energy used in the industrial sector when compared to other unit processes.

Furthermore, the majority of flash dryers operate in an indirect mode, requiring hot air for drying, which is generated by the combustion of fossil fuels. The use of fossil fuels adds to the drying process's operational costs. After the drying process is completed, heated air is allowed to escape, which has a negative impact on the environment.

Besides this, Industries are constantly working on lowering energy consumption and requiring energy-efficient equipment. EPA, REACH, and other stringent government regulations in industrialized countries have also imposed various constraints on the process industries. As a result, the greater operating costs associated with drying, as well as environmental regulations governing the process, have limited the market spread of flash dryers.

Market Consolidation and Expansion are the key Trends

There has been an upsurge in the number of consolidations in the flash dryers manufacturing industry during the last five years. This is mostly due to companies' efforts to address expanding demand for flash dryers, gain access to growth markets in Asia Pacific, and strengthen their footholds in regions such as North America and Europe.
