Overview

The demand for high-quality food is increasing in the world, consumers are getting more attracted towards canned, frozen foods which are easy to process, have more shelf life, and are easily available. Blanching is a thermal treatment given to raw vegetables to increase their quality and shelf life before preservation processes such as freezing, drying, and canning. There are large numbers of blancher designs available in the market specifically developed according to the needs of the food product. In the blanching process, the product is immersed in hot water ranging from 80 to 100°C for a definite time.  

The growing adoption of high-tech equipment in the food processing industry is a key driver for the growth of the Global Industrial Food Blancher Market. Industrial food blanchers help in preventing food deterioration by stopping undesirable enzymatic reactions which lead to change in color, flavour, texture in the product. However, high cost, lack of awareness, and practice of traditional processing processes are hampering the growth of the market. Rising food safety and security standards, increasing storage capacities of fruits and vegetables, a surge in consumption of processed food and the presence of untapped markets in developing countries is expected to drive the market in the forecast period 2024-2030.
