Crystallization is a chemical solid-liquid separation technique. The chemical is highly organized into a structure known as crystal. In this process, mass transfer from a solute which is approved out from the liquid solution, to a pure solid crystalline phase. The shape and size of crystals play crucial role in industrial crystallization. Further, crystallization is related to precipitation, although the result is not disordered or amorphous a crystal. They are an essential piece of chemical processing equipment. They are capable of generating high purity products with relatively low energy input. In addition, crystal formation can be divided into two types; menthol and sodium acetate.

The organic chemistry laboratory demands an industrial crystallizer for the purification of impure solid. Various applications of crystallization such as flow chemistry, nanoparticle synthesis, photochemistry in the glow, and reaction calorimetry is expected to boost the demand of industrial crystallizer.. Further, the need for increased control of drug substances' physical properties in pharmaceutical sector is expected to increase market growth. In addition, growing new technologies in pharmaceutical industry are predicted to accelerat demand for the product Crystallization can also control size of crystal which make them recyclable and economical. These factors are expected to increase industrial crystallizer market growth.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Restricted Production and Manufacturing Activities

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with industrial crystallizers experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The spike in CAGR is attributable to the industrial crystallizer market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The outbreak of COVID-19 led to the imposition of lockdown measures. Increasing number of Coronavirus cases consequently impacted the demand for industrial crystallizers in the chemical and food industries. Further, the market witnessed a decline in economic growth. Production and manufacturing activities were shut down due to limited capacity of  labor. The spread of COVID-19 had significantly hampered economic activity on the industrial sector. In addition, shutdown of industrial sectors led to decline in industrial developments which affected the market growth.

 On the contrary the pharmaceutical sector was boosted  due to increasing demand for vaccines.. Further, increasing demand to fight against coronavirus accelerated market growth during the pandemic.
