The size of the global industrial mixer market can only be approximated, and
that can only be done by utilizing data from various manufacturers of
industrial mixers. There are hundreds of mixer manufacturers throughout the
world. Some are owned by large holding companies that have many diversified
product lines. Some mixer manufacturers are privately owned, while some are
public. Most mixer manufacturers with total sales of $10 million or less are
privately held and are ripe for buyouts by conglomerates that are looking for
diversity.
By studying various reports and much Internet research it has been estimated
that conservatively speaking the overall mixer market size could be around $600
million. A more optimistic view is that this market is around $900 million.
Sales in the industrial mixing market show Lightnin mixers, Nettco mixers,
Philadelphia mixers and ITT Flygt mixers having the larger percentage of market
share - between 10 to 20 percent each. Smaller mixing companies make up the
difference.
