High Costs of the Bakery Processing Equipment
Processing equipment is available in semi-automatic and automatic forms. The higher the advanced technology used, the greater the equipment costs. Establishing the equipment can be a great hurdle for small-scale processing companies due to their higher initial investments and installation costs. Apart from the higher initial costs, the bakery processing equipment needs significant operational costs.
The highly sophisticated processing machinery needs many skilled workers for its soft functioning. The machinery used in the bakery processing industries needs to be standardized regularly. The high maintenance costs & and initial costs result in increased production costs of processed bakery products from the manufacturers. Further, the lack of infrastructure support and high energy consumption of these equipment in the bakery processing hamper the market growth.

Segment Analysis
The global bakery processing equipment market is segmented based on type, function, mode of operation, price range, application, end-user and region.
High Efficiency of Fully Automatic Equipment
The global bakery processing equipment is segmented based on their mode of operation into manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic. The fully automatic segment is reaching heights due to their contribution to the higher production rates. Fully automatic operations of the food processing make the production with improved quality and safety parameters.
The introduction of new automation technologies like Artificial Intelligence and loT into the bakery processing field helps in increasing the market growth. Many manufacturers are introducing automatic machines for use in food processing industries and bakery shops. For instance, in November 2022, Zion Bakery Machines introduced a fully automatic gas deck oven, which increases production efficiency.

Competitive Landscape
The major global players in the market include GEA Group AG, Rheon Automatic Machinery Co. Ltd., Ali Group, Baker Perkins, Markel Food Group, Anko Food Machine Co., Ltd., JBT Corporation, The Middleby Corporation, Heat and Control Inc. and Erika Record LLC.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic moderately impacted the global bakery processing equipment market. The government introduced lockdown conditions to control the spread of deadly diseases. The implementation of strict regulations during the lockdown halted the production of various bakery products. The scarcity of raw materials and labor decreased production in the processing sector.
The reduced production decreased the use of bakery processing equipment. The halt in using this equipment in small and large-scale bakery processing companies reduced their demand, negatively affecting the market in the initial periods. Most of the bakeries and food service sectors were shut down, and as a result, equipment usage declined during the pandemic.
With the gradual lift of lockdowns, governments granted permissions for the food processing and food service industry to continue their production by following all the necessary rules and regulations, raising the sales of bakery products. The demand for processed bakery products increased the demand for bakery processing equipment. The usage of e-commerce development and bakery product availability on the online portal positively grew baked products during the pandemic.
Russia- Ukraine War Impact
The Russia-Ukraine war had a negative impact on every field of the food industry, including the bakery and bakery processing equipment market. The war created a decline in import and export transactions. It is noted that there was a 10% reduction in wheat exports due to the war. The Russia-Ukraine war resulted in the overall price rise of various sectors. Reduced raw material availability and other resources and high prices badly impacted the bakery production, affecting the market growth.
Ukraine exports various products to global destinations, including machinery and equipment. About 7.4% of machinery and equipment are exported from Ukraine to China and Germany. According to the University of Florida, Ukraine and Russia hold around 28% of the global wheat exports. The EU being one of the major markets for bakery products, needs more energy for the equipment running.
