Dairy Processing Equipment Market Size to Reach USD 17.27 Billion by 2030 Amid Rising Demand for Packaged and Value-Added Dairy Products

Introduction

The Dairy Processing Equipment Market continues its upward trajectory as global consumption of processed dairy products accelerates. Valued at USD 13.38 billion in 2025, the dairy processing equipment market size is expected to reach USD 17.27 billion by 2030, reflecting a steady growth rate of 5.24% CAGR. The demand surge for packaged and shelf-stable dairy products, combined with stricter food safety regulations, is prompting manufacturers to invest in automation, digital monitoring, and energy-efficient systems.

Government programs such as the USDA Dairy Business Innovation Initiatives and regulatory frameworks like the FDA’s Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) are catalyzing modernization across plants. Meanwhile, agencies such as Natural Resources Canada are directing funds toward low-emission, cost-saving technologies like membrane filtration and heat recovery systems—helping the sector align with sustainability and compliance goals.

Dairy Processing Equipment Market Key Trends

• Rising consumption of value-added dairy products such as whey, yogurt, and cheese.
• Expanding use of ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing and aseptic packaging for shelf-stable dairy.
• Government funding supports plant upgrades and equipment innovation.
