The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Industrial Dryers Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis. The industrial dryer market is expected to develop at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 5.25% between 2025 and 2034, from its 2024 valuation of USD 8.13 billion. This market is experiencing significant growth due to advancements in dryer manufacturing technologies. These innovations facilitate the development of cost-effective and environmentally friendly technologies, addressing the rising demand for sustainable environmental solutions. Furthermore, there is a heightened demand in sectors such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, as these industries depend on precise drying techniques to ensure product safety and quality.
By Type Insights
The rotary segment of the industrial dryers market was the largest in 2024 and is projected to grow at the fastest rate from 2025 to 2034. This growth is driven by the effectiveness and versatility of rotary dryers, which are widely used in food, beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries due to their ability to dry large quantities efficiently. Their sturdy design and low maintenance costs appeal to manufacturers looking to improve their production systems. The rising demand for processed food and pharmaceuticals boosts the need for efficient drying systems. Automation, energy efficiency, and monitoring systems further enhance the growth of rotary dryers, along with eco-friendly designs that consume less energy and produce fewer emissions. Supportive policies in developing countries also contribute to this market's expansion, confirming the rotary segment's role as a key driver of growth.

By End Use Industry Insights
The food and beverages segment led the market in 2024 and is expected to grow quickly from 2025 to 2034, driven by the popularity of processed and packaged foods. Changes in agriculture, shifting dietary habits, and increased consumer spending have boosted demand for convenient food options, necessitating advanced drying technologies for better quality. The pharmaceutical market is also set to grow significantly in the same period, with dewatering technology playing a crucial role in preserving flavor and nutrition in solid foods. Additionally, the trend for dehydrated foods and healthy snacks is likely to expand this segment, driven by health-conscious consumers favoring organic and minimally processed products. As manufacturers invest in high-quality drying equipment to meet food safety standards, along with new energy-efficient technologies, operational costs are expected to decrease, promoting further market growth.

Regional Insights
Asia Pacific is the largest regional market for industrial dryers due to the region's increasing industrialisation, urbanisation, and significant expansion in manufacturing sectors like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. Increasing consumer demand for packaged and processed goods, together with the region's growing middle class, is driving the need for effective drying technology.

Market Competitive Landscape
Numerous leading companies are concentrating on technological advancements, product differentiation, and strategic partnerships to bolster their market presence. Leading companies are working on innovative developments in the industrial dryer industry to introduce eco-friendly and energy-efficient dryers that meet the growing need for sustainable solutions. For example, GEA Group, a key player in the market, has recently introduced a new line of spray dryers aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and minimizing carbon emissions, specifically catering to the food and dairy sectors. Companies are also broadening their geographical footprint and fortifying their distribution networks to seize opportunities in emerging markets, particularly in Asia Pacific, where industrial growth is vigorous.



Recent Developments:

In January 2025, Dover purchased specific assets from the petrochemical division of Carter Day International, Inc. These assets were integrated into the MAAG business unit of Dover, thereby enhancing their portfolio of pelletizing systems, which includes dewatering and drying equipment for the plastics sector.

In February 2024, Ingersoll Rand Inc. completed the acquisition of Friulair S.r.l., an Italy-based company, for around USD 146 million in cash.
