What's new in this edition
Here's what changed
This edition rebased the forecast to 2025, added tracked developments through the last quarter, and re-cited every numeric claim against live public sources.
Emerging opportunities added
- Expansion in emerging markets, particularly in Asia Pacific, presents significant growth opportunities due to rising disposable incomes, urbanization, and increasing demand for processed foods. Advances in equipment design, including modular and scalable HPP systems, can lower barriers to entry for smaller producers. Integration with smart sensors and automation platforms offers potential for enhanced process control and data-driven optimization. Growth in plant-based and alternative protein applications, such as meat substitutes and functional beverages, is expected to drive demand for HPP technology in new product categories.

Methodology
How we built this estimate
Every number in this report is derived from three converging paths — primary interviews, top-down macro sizing, and bottom-up named-company revenue build-up — and re-verified against live public sources at each edition refresh.
-
Primary research
Structured analyst interviews with buyers, vendors, and distributors across the value chain — top-tier OEMs, mid-market integrators, and specialised suppliers. Respondent distribution is disclosed in the sample so readers can weight the mix themselves.
-
Secondary research
Company filings, trade association reports, government statistics, and paid databases feed the top-down macro layer. Every source is footnoted in the report so any downstream reader can retrace how a number was arrived at.
-
Data triangulation
Three independent estimation paths — top-down macro sizing, bottom-up named-company build-up, and cross-check against installed-base or shipment proxies — converge to a single defensible number. Divergences greater than 8% trigger a re-review.
-
Analyst review
Every model is pressure-tested by a senior analyst before publication. Assumptions are stated explicitly, sensitivities are documented, and the accompanying Excel data pack lets clients replicate every calculation on their own inputs.
