Europe sorting plants market forecast by Fact.MR

Market share analysis of sorting plants based on machine type and the country is provided in a nutshell in the above image. Under the machine type segment, the optical sorting machine sub-segment dominates with a 67.0% market share in 2022.

“Increasing demand for a sustainable product tends to increase the market”

Industries generate a large amount of industrial waste which needs to be processed before dumping into landfills or incineration. The industrial waste includes scrap metals, trash, weed grass, wood, garbage dirt, concrete, etc. which is harmful to the environment. Thus, the introduction of the sorting machine is a crucial step toward the protection of the environment.

The demand for recycling sorters is increasing rapidly as these days’ people have become aware of the pros of recycling products. Traditionally, most of the products were highly contaminated or mixed with other materials, hence unable to reuse due to which sorting of materials was difficult as manually it becomes difficult to sort, and was not profitable as well.

Nowadays, the materials are available in a wide range from paper and cardboard to plastic and metal containers and each of these materials needs to be sorted according to their properties. Here, the sorting process plays a vital role in classifying the materials and sending them to the recyclable material end-users.

The rising demand is pushing manufacturers to integrate sorting plants to obtain recyclable materials and extend the life cycles of materials and increase the overall performance of the recyclable product.

“Installation cost of sorting plants limit the growth of the market”

Installing a sorter plant requires huge capital and high operation cost which result in the retardation of the market. Furthermore, it requires high maintenance and skills.

Sorting material is of different sizes and a result of which sorting machine may not give the proper orientation of the material. In addition, sourcing high power consumption is sometimes difficult to maintain. These are some of the vital factors which can hamper the market growth across the region.

Why is the Germany Sorting Plants Market Expected to Be Highly Lucrative?

Sorting techniques are not limited to wastage material, it has a wide range of application in sorting various kinds of ores. A developed country such as Germany pays more attention to the wastage problems and is set to dominate the market in the long-run forecast period. Furthermore, high economic and technical skills in such countries encourage manufacturers to install sorters at different locations to manage waste in organized manner and recycle it effectively.

The German sorting plants market is currently estimated at US$ 23.8 million and is expected to reach US$ 37.96 million by 2033.

“Demand outlook for sorting plants in France”

A developed economy like France increases their demand for sorting plants. Urbanization in France leads to an increase in the volume of wastage, which becomes a problem for the governing authorities, hence, they are installing sorting plant facilities for effective waste management and recycling processes. Thus, fueling the market’s growth.

Since France has the third largest economy in the Europe region so advancement in technical skills surge the market growth and growing awareness towards the safety of the environment and strict rules and regulation implemented by the government for the dumping of materials increases the demand for the sorting plants market. It is estimated that the need for sorting paper and cardboard trash will hype the market growth.

France holds a commanding position at the country-level accounting for roughly 18.0% of Europe’s sorting plants production in 2022. France’s market for sorting plants is expected to reach a valuation of US$ 26.28 million in 2033.

Why optical sorting machine is Gaining Popularity?

As the economy of an emerging country is increasing, the demand for optical sorting machines is also increasing and it is estimated that the market shares of the optical sorting machines will reach a valuation of 67.0% in forthcoming years.

Optical sorting machines employ in various industries such as the food industry, pharmaceutical, mining industry, and recycling industries. It uses the latest algorithm which enhances the sorting process with precise manners and saves time. Implementing optical sorting technology automatically reduces the risk of contamination from food materials and ensures food safety on the production line. So, it eliminates fraudulent products, resulting in more efficient manufacturing and less waste.

The optical sorting machine is predicted to reach a valuation of US$ 63.0 Mn by the end of 2023.

Will market growth be led by Increasing plastic production plants?

The demand for sorting plants in Europe will increase significantly by 2023. Plastic is not a single chemical product but it is a mixture of different chemicals so it needs to be sorted according to the chemical nature of plastic.

To enable plastic production, the sorting of plastic has to be pure as possible. Fortunately, not all plastic materials are as sensitive to materials as PET or as contaminating as PVC. So, plastic production manufacturers expand their business by planting their production lines.
