COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a major blow to businesses far and wide, including those in transportation and food and drinks. This has taken a big bite out of the income of the companies that make separation machinery. And things got worse when people cut back on buying HVAC systems, hurting the overall market even more. China's battle with COVID-19 has really thrown a wrench into the production and use of this equipment. But factories are starting to ramp up their operations, so the competition is about to heat up, and overall production should keep rising compared to 2019. Lockdowns in countries like China, India, the U.S., Brazil, Italy, Spain, France, and the UK have also played a role in slowing down the production and consumption of this vital machinery.
In 2019, water/wastewater and industrial processing combined held above 60% share in the global industry. The product demand in these industries is likely to deteriorate due to the COVID-19 pandemic outburst. The global food & beverage industry has witnessed loss of business owing to the standstill condition of out-of-home consumption as industrial processing is a potential revenue contributor to the industry.
Separation Machinery Market Analysis
The industrial centrifuges segment was the major product segment in the separation machinery market in 2020 and accounted for more than 35% market share. An industrial centrifuge is a machine, which is used for fluid or particle separation. These centrifuges rely on centrifugal force to separate heterogenous mixtures into components varying with density. Industrial centrifuges rotate at a high-speed with many revolutions per minute (rpm). This rotation induces an inward force, which is relative to the outward centrifugal force. This generated centrifugal force is hundreds of times greater than the force of gravity.
A heterogenous mixture of solid and liquid will suspend propelled by the force of gravity, given enough time. The same procedure is subjected to centrifugal force to cause separation and to save time. Industrial centrifuges are used in wastewater processing, chemical processing, pharmaceutical & biotechnological, fuel & biofuel, food processing, and mining & mineral processing industries.
According to the National Health Expenditure, healthcare spending in the U.S. grew by 4.6% in 2019, which is about USD 3.8 trillion. In the U.S., R&D investments of pharmaceutical companies have grown significantly in the past 15 years and more than doubled the publicly funded National Institutes of Health (NIH) expenditures in 2019. The growing trend will trigger new product development trends, which will boost the market for industrial centrifuges and separation machinery.

Water scarcity is a growing concern, with the United Nations predicting that over 40% of the world's population will face water shortages by 2050. As a result, the way we view water as an unlimited resource needs to shift. One way to address water scarcity is through separation machinery, which helps purify water and wastewater. The global market for these machines is expected to grow to over $40 billion by 2027. In the United States, strict regulations like the Safe Drinking Water Act and Clean Water Act, enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ensure that drinking water meets certain safety standards. These regulations drive demand for separation machinery, as it plays a vital role in meeting those standards.
According to the Water Design-Build Council U.S., water and wastewater utilities spend approximately USD 50 billion a year to modify, rehabilitate, and expand their water & wastewater infrastructure. By the end of the next decade, utilities will reach USD 60 billion.
The increased spending on water treatment facilities can be attributed to the increasing demand for safe drinking water impelled by the depletion of fresh water sources and growing concerns among the population regarding the rising water scarcity, and recycling of wastewater for domestic uses. Increasing discharge of wastewater with rising need for clean water will offer opportunities for wastewater treatment facilities.
The U.S. industrial wastewater treatment sector has seen a transition from traditional filtration technology to the use of efficient centrifugal filters to other modified filtration systems. The constant progress in wastewater treatment has given rise to more effective filtration equipment. The growing and changing wastewater treatment facilities will create a positive impact for the market expansion.
