In addition, the rising developments by key industry players are further anticipated to boost the industry growth. Sorting machines are utilized to arrange OR group things in predetermined ways systematically. The primary functions of sorting machines include aligning, packaging, collecting, defect removal, and others.
For instance, in October 2020, Key Technologies, based in the U.S., introduced VERYX BioPrint Digital Sorter. This sorter combines color cameras with NIR (Near Infrared) hyperspectral detection. Further, the machine removes the unwanted products with discoloration, irregular shape defects, and foreign materials. Moreover, the implementation of stringent government rules & regulations regarding food safety & security is anticipated to boost the adoption of sorting machines.
The onset of the COVID-19 reflects the downfall of the sorting machine market growth owing to the unprecedented restrictions on movement and disruptions in business activities. The disruption in the supply chain, lockdown measures, and limited corporate spending will hamper the industry growth. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is far-reaching, having adverse effects on communities, individuals, and societies globally.
The negative impact of COVID-19 outbreaks on the major end-user industries such as food & beverage, mining, and others is anticipated to hinder the industry's growth. However, the increasing focus of various sectors on automation is expected to present huge industry growth opportunities. On the positive hand, the threat of COVID-19 has prompted various pharmaceutical companies to invest more in developing vaccines that can prevent the further spread of the virus, boosting the demand for sorting machines.

Growth Drivers
The growing emphasis of various end-use industries towards automation in order to enhance their production capacity while reducing the risks is the significant factor that may accelerate the sorting machine market growth. Automation enables companies to increase their performance by reducing the number of errors and better efficiency. Different industries such as food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and others are shifting their focus towards automation to boost productivity while maintaining product quality. This approach speeds up the production process, reduces manual labor, and improves product safety.
Furthermore, the increasing labor costs and the growing implementation of stringent rules and regulations by governments across nations for food safety & security are anticipated to present huge sorting machine market growth opportunities. For instance, in January 2019, FSSAI (Food Safety & Standard Authority of India) announced the enforcement of 27 new food quality standards set in 2018. Some of the principal regulations are packaging, food fortification, and others. Therefore, these factors act as catalyzing factors for the global industry development in the future scenario.
The market is primarily segmented on the basis of product, end-user, and region.
