A higher number of competitors typically escalates rivalry, potentially sparking price wars and squeezing profit margins. Conversely, when there are fewer competitors, rivalry tends to decrease, fostering more stable pricing dynamics. In 2024, the market saw various mergers and acquisitions, impacting the competitive landscape. For example, the global food processing equipment market was valued at $58.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $87.6 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 5.9% from 2024 to 2030.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"sub-highlight-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sub-highlight-icon\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/5FORCES-Content-Rivalry-Chart-Icon-Color-1.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIndustry Growth Rate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sub-highlight-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe industry growth rate significantly impacts competitive rivalry.
