Global Leading Market Research Publisher QYResearch announces the release of its latest report “Malt Press for Brewing - Global Market Share and Ranking, Overall Sales and Demand Forecast 2026-2032”. Based on current situation and impact historical analysis (2021-2025) and forecast calculations (2026-2032), this report provides a comprehensive analysis of the global Malt Press for Brewing market, including market size, share, demand, industry development status, and forecasts for the next few years.

For brewers, distillers, and craft beer producers, the separation of wort from spent grains after saccharification is a critical step that directly impacts yield, efficiency, and raw material utilization. Traditional methods such as lauter tuns or manual straining often leave significant wort behind, wasting valuable sugars and reducing overall production efficiency. Malt presses for brewing address this challenge with devices that separate solids from liquids in fermented spent grains through mechanical extrusion, efficiently recovering wort while reducing raw material waste and facilitating subsequent processing or reuse of spent grains. The global market for malt presses was valued at US$ 182 million in 2025 and is projected to grow at a robust CAGR of 8.5% to reach US$ 320 million by 2032, driven by the rapid expansion of the craft beer industry, increasing demand for automated brewing equipment, and tightening food safety regulations. Sales are projected to reach 31,000 units in 2024, with an average price of US$ 5,400 per unit.

Market Definition and Product Segmentation
Malt presses for brewing represent a specialized category within brewery equipment, distinguished by their role in wort recovery and spent grain management. These devices use mechanical extrusion to separate liquid wort from solid grain residues, improving yield and reducing waste—a critical consideration for both industrial and craft brewers.

Press Type Segmentation
The market is stratified by mechanical configuration, each addressing distinct scale and efficiency requirements:

Four-roller/Six-roller Malt Presses: The dominant segment for medium and large-scale breweries, with a 46% market share. Multi-roller designs enable progressive crushing and particle-level compression, delivering high crushing rates and uniform pulverization for optimal wort recovery.

Continuous Automatic Malt Pressing Systems: The high-end segment with approximately 32% market share, integrating feeding, pressing, online testing, and cleaning functions. These systems support large-scale continuous operation with high energy efficiency and automatic control.

Single-roller/Double-roller Malt Presses: The entry-level segment with approximately 22% market share, suitable for small breweries and craft brewery startups. While crushing performance is moderate, these presses offer low cost and small footprint.

Application Segmentation
The market serves diverse brewing operations:

Industrial Brewery: The largest segment for large-scale beer and whiskey production, requiring high-capacity, continuous operation presses with integrated automation.

Laboratory: Supporting pilot-scale brewing, recipe development, and quality control applications.

Home Use: Serving homebrewers and small-scale enthusiasts with compact, manual or semi-automatic presses.

The malt press market features a competitive landscape combining global brewing equipment leaders with specialized machinery manufacturers. Key players include Bühler Group, Steinecker, Künzel Maschinenbau GmbH, GEA Brewery Systems GmbH, Egon Sommer Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG, FREWITT SA, Henan Fote Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd., Anyang GEMCO Energy Machinery Co., Ltd., August Brückner Söhne GmbH, Heger GmbH + Co. KG, Höflinger GmbH, TIETJEN VERFAHRENSTECHNIK GmbH, Vogtland BioMühlen GmbH, WIDU® – Mühlenbau Udal Wiederhold e.K., ZIEMANN HOLVRIEKA GmbH, Wenzhou Dayu Technology Co., Ltd., YoLong Brewtech, Stout Tanks and Kettles, and Czech Brewery System.

Industry Development Characteristics
1. Craft Beer Industry Expansion

A case study from QYResearch's industry monitoring reveals that the global craft beer market has grown significantly, with thousands of new breweries established in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. These smaller operations require efficient, automated equipment that maximizes yield without requiring industrial-scale capital investment.

2. Wort Recovery and Efficiency

Malt presses recover wort that would otherwise remain in spent grains. A case study from the brewing industry indicates that presses can increase extract yield by 2-5%, directly improving production efficiency and reducing raw material costs.

3. Automation and Smart Brewing

The trend toward automated brewing drives demand for presses with intelligent controls. A case study from the equipment sector indicates that presses with industrial Ethernet (Profinet, EtherCAT), remote monitoring, and recipe management capabilities capture premium positioning in industrial and craft breweries.

4. Spent Grain Utilization

Recovered spent grains can be used for animal feed or other applications. A case study from the sustainability sector indicates that efficient separation enables breweries to sell spent grains as a co-product, creating additional revenue streams and supporting circular economy initiatives.

Exclusive Industry Insights: The Craft Beer Automation Opportunity
Our proprietary analysis identifies the craft beer segment as the fastest-growing market for malt presses. As craft breweries scale from brewpubs to regional production facilities, they require automated equipment that bridges the gap between manual operation and industrial automation. Manufacturers that offer modular, scalable presses with user-friendly controls, compact footprints, and connectivity for production monitoring capture the highest growth in this segment.

Strategic Outlook
For industry executives, investors, and marketing leaders evaluating opportunities in the malt press for brewing market, the projected 8.5% CAGR reflects sustained demand from craft beer expansion, industrial brewery automation, and the universal need for improved wort recovery. Manufacturers positioned to capture disproportionate share share three characteristics: demonstrated expertise in mechanical extrusion, grain handling, and brewing process integration; product portfolios spanning single-roller to continuous automatic systems; and established relationships with brewery equipment integrators, craft brewery associations, and industrial brewing organizations. As the market evolves toward intelligent, connected equipment with predictive maintenance capabilities, the ability to deliver reliable, efficient, and scalable malt press solutions will define competitive leadership.
