Report Overview

Vacuum Frying Machine Market size is expected to be worth around USD 2.3 Bn by 2032 from USD 1.1 Bn in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2032.

Vacuum frying is the process of putting food into a machine that pressurizes and cooks it with the use of hot oil, using low temperature as compared to traditional frying methods. The demand for vacuum frying machines is increasing in food industries because vacuum-fried items consume 70% less oil. Vacuum frying products reduces the risk of life-threatening diseases and keeps cholesterol level low.

Driving factors

Changing Food Habits of Consumers and Increasing Numbers of Cafes Driving the Demand for Vacuum Frying Machines in Market

Consumers desire deep-fried products because of their unique flavor, texture combination. The popularity of potato chips, doughnuts, French fries, fish sticks, snacks, and fried chicken is increasing; thus, the demand for vacuum frying machines is increasing in food processing ingredient and fried food industries. Consumers' demand for French fries is increasing due to the increasing number of cafes and restaurants. The quick service restaurants serve fast food meals with fewer table services. The adoption of smartphones and growing online food delivery channels & apps, such as UberEats, Food Panda, Swiggy, and KFC, which offer doorstep and instant delivery services, are helping the vacuum frying machine market development even more.

Increasing Demand in Food Processing Industries Driving the Growth of Vacuum Frying Machines Market

Vacuum frying machines are a standard alternative to traditional machines. The vacuum-fried products have low moisture content (<6%) and low water activity (<0.3). The absence of air during frying reduces oxidation and enzymatic browning. Therefore, the color, nutrients, and fried samples can be largely preserved. Vacuum frying is also beneficial to intense odors such as durian. It uses less electricity as compared to traditional deep frying. The demand for vacuum frying machines is increasing in the vacuum frying machine market due to their significant applications in food processing and fried food industries. They have high productivity and low energy costs and save oil compared to traditional fryers.

Restraining Factors

High Costs of Vacuum Frying Machines Hampering the Market Growth

The vacuum frying machines are bigger, so they require more space. Also, the initial costs of industrial vacuum frying machines are more. Vacuum frying causes the machine's surface to turn black, which forms carcinogenic substances on the surface of the machine. Sometimes the oil in machines becomes hotter and acquires a specific unpleasant odor. This is expected to have a negative impact on vacuum frying machine market growth.

Product Type Analysis
