The global food recycler market size was valued at $26,310.3 million in 2021 and is estimated to reach $ 48,774.3 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 6.4% from 2022 to 2031. Food wastage has emerged as a big challenge in all the countries around the globe. This has created a huge opportunity for the products that can help overcome this situation. Recycling organic waste has emerged as a challenge in several economies which drives the demand for the food recycler market in those economies. A food recycler is a machine that is used in both commercial and household to recycle waste food into fertilizer or manure. According to an article by the European Commission in the EU, around 88 million tonnes of food waste are generated annually with associated costs estimated at 143 billion euros (FUSIONS, 2016). While an estimated 20% of the total food produced is lost or wasted. The EU is committed to meeting the Sustainable Development Goal Target 12.3 to halve per capita food waste at the retail and consumer level by 2030 and reduce food losses along the food production and supply chains. Such initiatives in the region are expected to drive the growth of the market.
The rapid increase of urbanization and government initiatives like smart city, go green, etc. is expected to propel the growth of the food recycler market. According to United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in 2010, 51.6% lived in urban areas. By 2020, the share of the urban population increased to 56.2%. It is generally higher in the developed (79.2% in 2020) than in the developing world (51.6%). According to an article by the World Resource Institute, food waste already comprises 50 to 70 percent of municipal solid waste in several Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shanghai. Along with the rise in urbanization, the number of people who are opting for food waste management and are concerned regarding the environment will rise owing to this the market is expected to increase at a significant rate.
There is a huge increase in the demand for organic products owing to the rising awareness regarding the health benefits of organic products. Compost improves soil structure and nutrient content, which reduces the need for chemical fertilizers. Moreover, the demand for organic products is growing in developed markets like Europe and North America due to higher consumer awareness, higher adoption of healthy food habits, and increased health consciousness among the population. Such a surge in the demand for organic products will result in an increasing demand for organic fertilizer. Food recyclers convert food waste into fertilizer without the use of any chemical, owing to this it is expected that there will be a surge in the demand for food recyclers.
However, the global food recycler market faces a major drawback due to the development of cold chain facilities and the rising trend of feeding people and animals among the population. Instead of feeding landfills, people are feeding people and animals nearby them. Even there are various organization working that takes excess food and distributes it to needy people.For instance, one can contact the America EXITEXIT EPA WEBSITE or local food rescue organizations for information about where they can donate and what types of food their local organization is able to accept. In 2012, the U.S. Department of Agriculture National School Lunch Program provided nutritionally balanced, low-cost, or free lunches to more than 31 million children each school day. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, from 2012 to 2014 there were about 805 million hungry people on earth. They predict that by eliminating food loss and wasted food there would have been enough food to feed all the chronically undernourished. They also expect that they wouldn't have to increase food production or put additional pressure on natural resources to do so. Such a rise in the trend of feeding people and animals coupled with rising awareness regarding organization working for it can hold back the growth of the global food recycler market
Technological advancements coupled with rising initiatives regarding food wastage management will create an opportunity for the market to grow since food wastage is reaching alarming heights and has become a global issue. According to the United Nations Environment Programme in the U.S. alone, an estimated 133 billion pounds of edible food (worth over $161 billion) goes to waste every year. Food waste also contributes to the largest volume of material in U.S. landfills accounting for 21% of the waste stream. Food waste costs Canadians $31 billion annually or about 2% of the country's GDP. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the United States, food waste is estimated at between 30-40 percent of the food supply. It has emerged as a challenge for the government to overcome all such wastage, for example in 2015, the USDA joined with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to set a goal to cut our nation's food waste by 50 percent by the year 2030. Such a huge amount of food wastage coupled with the initiative by the governments is expected to present an opportunity for the food recycler market growth.
