Industrial agitators are equipment used in industries that process products in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, in a view of: mixing liquids together promote the reactions of chemical substances. They are also widely used in keeping homogeneous liquid bulk during storage, particularly in the Dairy Segment.
The global industrial agitator market is predicted to increase from $2.2 billion in 2020 to $2.7 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 4.1 percent between 2020 and 2025. The shift towards ready-to-eat (RTE) food products in the food and beverages (F&B) market, has only increased the demand for more precise and highly technology involved agitation systems. With Indian clients looking to implement more 'Make in India' into their sourcing of raw materials and equipment, the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical segments are finally able to depend upon an Indian supplier, after a long where they have been dependent on foreign help, more importantly for their entire agitation requirement spanning their entire process with different products including the floating magnetic mixers from PRG.
