India has a large market demand for color sorters, and China is an important source of imports
Color sorters are devices that automatically sort out heterochromatic particles from granular materials using photoelectric detection technology based on differences in the optical properties of materials. They are mainly composed of a feeding system, a signal processing system, an optical detection system, and a separation execution system. According to the architecture, color sorters are divided into waterfall color sorters, crawler color sorters, free-fall color sorters, etc.; according to the technical flow, color sorters are divided into traditional photoelectric technology color sorters, CCD technology color sorters, X-ray technology color sorters, etc. In addition, color sorters can also be divided according to light source technology, color sorting materials, etc.
With the expansion of application scope and the advancement of color sorting technology, the global color sorter market has a good development momentum. The global color sorter market size in 2023 is about 12.6 billion yuan, and it is expected that its market size will exceed 20.5 billion yuan in 2029. In terms of countries, China is one of the major producers in the global color sorter market. In 2023, the market size of China’s color sorter was nearly 6.6 billion yuan, and the output exceeded 54,000 units. Driven by factors such as the continued development of the food market and the increase in demand for coal mining, the Indian market has a large demand for color sorter equipment.
Rice color sorters can distinguish good and bad materials, and play an important role in food quality inspection scenarios such as nuts and beans. They can also be used for the selection of mineral resources such as coal and ore, as well as waste plastics. According to the “Action for Integrated Development of Food and Agriculture” jointly released by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and McKinsey, the domestic food market in India is expected to grow by more than 47.0% from 2022 to 2027, with a good development momentum. At the same time, in order to cope with the rapidly growing energy demand, India is seeking underground coal mining. Against this background, the demand for color sorters in the Indian market will be greatly released.
According to the “In-depth Research and Analysis Report on the Indian Color Sorter Market from 2024 to 2028″ released by the Xinshijie Industry Research Center, in terms of imports and exports, China is an important source of imports for the Indian color sorter market. According to data from the General Administration of Customs of China, the total export volume of color sorters (customs code: 84371010) in China in 2023 is 9848.0 units, with a total export value of approximately 1.41 billion yuan, mainly exported to India, Turkey, Indonesia, Vietnam, Russia, Pakistan and other countries; among them, the total export volume to India is 5127.0 units, which is China’s main export destination market, and the export volume has also increased compared with 2022, reflecting the large market demand for color sorters in India.
New World India market analyst said that the color sorter is a sorting equipment that integrates light, machinery, electricity, and gas, and is mainly used in agricultural product processing, food processing, mining, plastic recycling, packaging and other fields. Against the background of increased food demand and the government’s promotion of coal mining, the sales volume of the Indian color sorter market is expected to increase. In recent years, China’s color sorter manufacturing technology has been continuously improved and innovated, and has gradually achieved domestic substitution, becoming one of the major producers and exporters in the global color sorter market. Therefore, it can meet the needs of the Indian market to a certain extent.
