Global 3D Food Printing Market Size, Trends & Analysis - Forecasts to 2027 By Product (Chocolates and Confectionery, Bakery, Meat and Seafood and Others), By End-User (Government, Commercial, Residential), By Region (North America, Asia Pacific, CSA, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa), Competitive Landscape Company Market Share Analysis, and Competitor Analysis
The global 3D food printing market is projected to grow from USD 0.45 Billion in 2022 to USD 1.55 Billion by 2027 at a CAGR value of 20.5% from 2022 to 2027.
The 3D printing technology has taken the world by storm in the sectors of medical devices, home appliances and jet engines. The 3D food printing technology aims to revolutionize food manufacturing by broadening the source of available food material, customizing and personalizing food and nutrition, simplifying the supply chain for the manufacturer and being simply more sustainable.
The emergence of 3D food printing is likely to be attributed to people’s increasing curiosity of exploring new culinary options and designs. According to the UNEP, roughly 1/3rd of global food goes to waste. 3D food printing minimizes this waste of food by introducing the concept of food reproducibility. This concept is materialized by using the same set of ingredients of a previous dish to make the dish again which considerably brings down the wastage of food.
The market will be driven by factors such as rising demand for stand-alone units that exhibit multiple cooking tasks, growing demand for customizable nutritious food, rising consumption of organic food items, emergence of demand for aesthetic eye-pleasing dishes, need for easier cooking techniques and need for alternative ways to meat.
Furthermore, manufactures have realized that 3D food printing brings along with itself possibilities of product differentiation, customization and innovation while saving time. Companies have realized that the presence of this new cutting-edge technology has increased customer engagements during live events and has the potential to improve the overall sales of the company.
Since the inception of 3D food printing technology, considerable research and development have taken place so as to reach and satisfy the food needs of the masses. Popular brands like PepsiCo, Hershey and Oreo are making use of 3D food printing to produce chocolates and chips. The technology has also found a customer base in the elderly with dysphagia and would require a different texture of food. Nutritionists and hospitals are expected to make use of this emerging technology for their geriatric patients. The application of 3D food printing has been adopted by space researchers by allowing astronauts to make use of the dry ingredients to cook fresh food while extending the shelf life of the ingredients.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous effect on the food system. 3D food printing has a unique potential in possibly mitigating this food crises by creating food via machines and hence lessening the spread of COVID-19. This technology is also expected to reduce social contacts and encourage social distancing. For instance, people who want a personalized cake can send their digital cake design files which can be readily made at home. As the technology can produce customizable nutritive food, the food created can be made to strengthen the health of quarantined or hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
Based on the Product type, the 3D food printing market is divided into chocolates & confectionary, bakery, meat and seafood and others. Chocolate manufacturing companies have been using this technology to make chocolate designs which are unique and distinct. With respect to meat and seafood, companies have been actively developing meat and fish cuts that have the actual food’s muscle and fat arrangement. The 3D printed meat segment is expected to grow the fastest in the market.
Based on the end-user, the 3D food printing market is divided into government, commercial and residential. The commercial end-use has been largely making use of 3D food printing technology in order to increase its customer base and create a niche for itself. However, the residential end-use segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market from 2022 to 2027.
Food companies have realized the potential of using 3D food printing technology in live events to lure in customers and engage them in the food making process. As the market has not entirely tapped the potential customer base, companies have made it a point to adopt 3D food printing technology as a unique and niche feature in their offerings. The residential end-use has been the fastest growing segment due to the public’s curiosity of making new cuisines. As some of the food recipes cannot be made with traditional food techniques, households are making use of the technology to gorge on food they wish to eat.
As per the geographical analysis, the 3D food printing market can be classified into North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico), Asia Pacific (India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), Europe (Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, and Rest of Europe), Middle East & Africa (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Rest of the Middle East & Africa) and Central & South America (Brazil, Argentina, and Rest of Central and South America).
North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico) will have a dominant share in the 3D Food Printing market from 2022 to 2027. The major factor driving the growth of the market in the North American region is the increase in technological progress in all aspects and food technology, rapidly rising awareness regarding the 3D printed meat, or plant based meat products and increasing demand for vegan alternatives.
Similarly, Europe has seen an increase in adoption of the 3D food printing technology in order to enhance their overall food experience. It can be observed that a majority of pioneering 3D food printer firms are from both the continents of North America and Europe, and hence these regions hold a significant share in the market.
The Asia Pacific (India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Rest of Asia Pacific) region is expected to show rapid increase in adopting the technology given its increasing desire of exploring variety of chocolates, fast food and contemporary cuisine.
TNO, 3D Systems, byFlow, Natural Machines, Systems And Materials Research Corporation, Beehex, Choc Edge, Modern Meadow, Nu Food, North branch Everbright among others are the key players in the 3D food printing market.
