Several factors drive the growth of the thermal drying dewatering equipment market. These include increasing environmental regulations requiring proper disposal of sludge and waste materials, the need for efficient moisture removal in various industries, and the desire to reduce transportation costs by reducing the volume of materials.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Hampered the Market Demand Due to Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with thermal drying dewatering equipment market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

In the early stages of the pandemic, there were disruptions in the global supply chain. Many manufacturers faced challenges in sourcing raw materials and components, leading to delays in production and delivery of equipment. This affected the overall market performance. The pandemic caused demand fluctuations in various industries that rely on thermal drying dewatering equipment. For example, some industries such as construction and automotive experienced reduced demand. Manufacturing facilities and businesses were forced to implement safety measures, including social distancing and reduced workforce capacities. This affected the operational efficiency of production facilities, slowing down the manufacturing process. Many companies postponed or cancelled capital investments during the pandemic to conserve cash and navigate the economic uncertainties. This impacted the sales of thermal drying and dewatering equipment, especially for large-scale projects.
