MARKET OVERVIEW

Spray drying technique transforms the feed from a fluid state into dried particulate form by spraying the feed into a hot drying medium. It is non-stop particle processing drying operation. The feed can be a solution, suspension, dispersion or emulsion. The dried product can be in the form of powders, granules or agglomerates based on the physical and chemical properties of the feed, the dryer design and final powder properties desired.This demand for this market is very closely linked with the demand for processed food and related products. Investments and technological advancements are the primary drivers of this market. Stable GDP and rising awareness among the consumers are other secondary factors driving the growth of this market.Spray drying though advantageous adversely affects the organoleptic properties such as the taste and colour of the particular food product if its operation is not properly handled which is the primary restraint of this market. Moreover, its operational cost is very high because of high consumption of thermal energy by the equipment which is the secondary restraint in the growth of this market.
