A centrifugal separator is a device that uses centrifugal force to separate particles or substances of varying densities within a liquid or gas. By spinning the mixture at high speeds, the separator causes denser materials to move outward to the perimeter while less dense materials remain near the center. These separators are valued for their efficiency, speed, and capability to handle large volumes in continuous processes.
The main types of centrifugal separators are vertical and horizontal. Vertical centrifugal separators feature a vertical axis, meaning that the material is spun around this vertical center. They provide both liquid-liquid and liquid-solid separation and are used in various industries, including food and dairy, beverages, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, marine and transportation, oil and petroleum, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have impacted the centrifugal separator market by raising costs of precision rotating components and stainless steel materials. Food, dairy, and chemical processing segments are most affected, especially in Asia Pacific. Higher equipment costs have influenced capital investments. At the same time, tariffs have promoted regional equipment manufacturing.

This centrifugal separators market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The centrifugal separator market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.28 billion in 2025 to $1.35 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial process optimization needs, growth in dairy processing, expansion of chemical manufacturing, demand for efficient solid liquid separation, adoption of continuous separation technologies.
The centrifugal separator market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.66 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation in process industries, demand for hygienic processing equipment, growth in pharmaceutical manufacturing, stricter quality standards, expansion of high throughput processing. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use in continuous processing industries, growing adoption in food and beverage processing, rising demand for high speed separation systems, integration of automated control in separation equipment, expansion of centrifugal separators in pharma applications.
The growth in manufacturing sectors is anticipated to drive the expansion of the centrifugal separator market in the coming years. Manufacturing sectors include industries engaged in converting raw materials into finished products using machinery, labor, and technology. These sectors are expanding due to rising demand for varied products, globalization, and ongoing advancements in manufacturing processes that improve efficiency and production capabilities. Centrifugal separators play a crucial role in manufacturing by effectively separating mixtures of different densities or phases, ensuring product quality, process efficiency, and proper waste management. For example, in March 2025, a report by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), a US Federal Government Agency, indicated that manufacturers contributed $2.93 trillion to the economy in Q3 2024, up from $2.91 trillion in the prior quarter. Consequently, the growth of the manufacturing sector is propelling the centrifugal separator market forward.
Industry players in the centrifugal separator market are emphasizing the development of innovative products, such as high-speed separators, to achieve quicker and more efficient component separation. High-speed separators are centrifugal devices engineered to rapidly divide mixtures with varying densities or phases, enhancing separation performance through increased rotational speeds. For instance, in January 2023, Alfa Laval, a Sweden-based manufacturing company, introduced the marine sector's first biofuel-ready separators. These high-speed centrifugal separators are designed to tackle the operational challenges associated with biofuels, ensuring effective cleaning and management of marine engines without compromising performance or causing wear. Developed to support the marine industry's transition to biofuels, these separators contribute to decarbonization while maintaining engine efficiency and protection, marking a notable advancement in centrifugal separation technology.
In August 2023, SPX Flow Inc., a US-based engineered solutions provider, partnered with Flottweg SE, a Germany-based technology company, for an undisclosed amount. Through this collaboration, SPX Flow and Flottweg aim to jointly design and deliver integrated plant-based process solutions, enhancing innovation and operational efficiency for customers in the nutrition, health, food, and beverage sectors.
