Based on the Type, “Pasteurizers” is the fastest-growing segment in the dairy processing equipment market.

Due to the concern towards consumption of healthy food, the market for pasteurizers is projected to be the largest market by type in dairy processing market. A pasteurizer is used for enhanced pasteurization, which involves the heating of every particle of the milk or the milk product, at a particular temperature to destroy the pathogens. This is an essential process for the processing of milk and milk products, as it purifies the raw milk, which is contaminated with bacteria and other microorganisms.

Based on the region, “Asia Pacific” is the largest growing segments of the dairy processing equipment market.

The Asia Pacific region is the largest market in the world for dairy processing equipment. The region has been witnessing increased concerns regarding food safety. It is one of the largest producers of milk in the world; hence, dairy processing is becoming imperative to prevent pathogen contamination. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the middle-class population inhabiting the region have been shifting their diet preferences from staple cereals to meat, dairy products, fruits, and vegetables.
