What Do Rotary Dryer Manufacturers Need to Watch Out for?

“What are the Potential Barriers for Rotary Dryer Manufacturers”

Price changes are regular headache to market players. Key raw materials used in rotary dryers, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, and special alloys. The value chain and retail prices are said to be impacted by rising raw material prices. This may limit the use of rotary dryers and have an impact on purchasing power.

A dynamic movement in end users' preferences toward alternative technologies or traditional techniques of dehydration is anticipated as a result of price increases, which could partially impede demand and the market's growth prospects.

Rotary dryers are used in a variety of applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, paper, mining, and textile sectors. The main cause of pollution is these businesses' is increasing CO2 emissions and trash volume. Government rules are therefore likely to limit the development of these end-use sectors. The demand for rotary dryers from the aforementioned industries may be hampered by this essential problem.

Additionally, rising material waste volumes globally are projected to restrict output during the course of the evaluation period. In the upcoming years, it is probable that product penetration will decrease due to restricted utilisation of renewable heating sources including solar, wind, and electric energy for rotary dryers. This is likely to affect demand for rotary dryers from end-use industries due to surging fuel costs across the globe.

Confined incorporation of renewable energy as a heating source is considered to be the foremost factor that could hinder product penetration over the next couple of years. However, surging R&D investments from manufactures’ end are expected to aid adoption of renewable power sources for rotary dryers in future.
