A sedimentation centrifuge is a machine used to separate solid particles from liquids using centrifugal force. It works by spinning a mixture at high speeds so that the heavier solid particles move outward and settle, while the liquid remains above. These centrifuges are vital for improving accuracy and productivity in industrial separation processes.
The main product categories of sedimentation centrifuges include decanter centrifuges, disk stack centrifuges, and others. Decanter centrifuges are designed to separate solids from liquids using a rotating drum that generates high centrifugal force, enabling effective sedimentation in high-throughput industrial processes. The design types include horizontal and vertical centrifuges with batch and continuous operation modes. The end users include pharmaceutical, chemical and petrochemical industries, food and beverage processing, water and wastewater treatment, metals and mining, and others.
Tariffs are impacting the sedimentation centrifuge market by increasing costs of imported precision components, motors, and steel structures, particularly affecting decanter and disc stack centrifuges. Asia-Pacific and Europe face higher pricing pressures due to reliance on global suppliers. Positively, tariffs are driving localized manufacturing and encouraging investments in regional production facilities to reduce dependency on imports.
The sedimentation centrifuge market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides sedimentation centrifuge market statistics, including sedimentation centrifuge industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a sedimentation centrifuge market share, detailed sedimentation centrifuge market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the sedimentation centrifuge industry. This sedimentation centrifuge 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 sedimentation centrifuge market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.28 billion in 2025 to $6.69 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrialization of chemical processing, growth of mining activities, expansion of pharmaceutical manufacturing, rising demand for solid-liquid separation, development of high-speed centrifuges.
The sedimentation centrifuge market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.47 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to wastewater reuse initiatives, stricter environmental regulations, growth in biopharmaceutical production, demand for high-throughput processing, modernization of industrial plants. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for continuous operation centrifuges, increasing use in wastewater treatment, preference for energy-efficient separation systems, growth of customized industrial centrifuges, expansion in process optimization applications.
The rising demand for biopharmaceuticals is increasingly supporting the expansion of the sedimentation centrifuge market going forward. Biopharmaceuticals are therapeutic products developed using biological sources or biotechnology-based processes rather than conventional chemical synthesis. Demand for biopharmaceuticals is increasing due to the growing prevalence of chronic and complex diseases, which require advanced and targeted therapies that traditional drugs cannot adequately address. Higher biopharmaceutical production volumes increase the need for sedimentation centrifuges to perform efficient solid-liquid separation during large-scale manufacturing. These centrifuges improve process efficiency, maintain consistent product quality, and support sterile production environments. For example, in June 2025, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a US-based federal agency, prescription drug spending increased by 11.4% in 2023 to reach $449.7 billion, accelerating from 7.8% growth in 2022. Consequently, the rising demand for biopharmaceuticals is reinforcing growth in the sedimentation centrifuge market.
The increase in mining activities is expected to propel the growth of the sedimentation centrifuge market going forward. Mining activities include surface and underground operations involved in extracting valuable minerals and geological materials. The rise in mining activity is driven by growing demand for raw materials used in infrastructure development, renewable energy, and technology manufacturing. Increased mining activity boosts demand for sedimentation centrifuges, which are essential for efficient solid-liquid separation in ore processing and tailings management. These centrifuges improve recovery rates, reduce downtime, and enable continuous high-throughput mineral processing. For example, in January 2024, according to BDO LLP, a UK-based professional services firm, the number of mining companies engaged in exploration activities increased by 2% year over year in 2023. Therefore, rising mining activity is driving growth in the sedimentation centrifuge market.
Major companies operating in the sedimentation centrifuge market are developing advanced solutions such as containerized decanter centrifuges to improve separation efficiency, reduce operating costs, and enable flexible deployment. A containerized decanter centrifuge is a fully integrated centrifuge system housed within a standardized shipping container, allowing rapid installation and mobility. For example, in March 2025, Multotec Group Limited, a South Africa-based mineral processing and industrial equipment company, launched the TS 530L Tailings Decanter Centrifuge. This system is engineered for continuous separation of fine solids from liquids using centrifugal force, supporting high-throughput operations while minimizing downtime and installation requirements.
