  • Digitalization and automation in chemical plants: Technologies associated with Industry 4.0 sensor-based automation, AI-based monitoring, and software tools are influencing the uptake of smart crushing and screening systems in chemical manufacturing. Smart machines within aquaculture and chemical processing systems can continuously produce performance analytics in real-time, along with analytics to support predictive maintenance cycles and quality control. Smart machines reduce unplanned downtime and help to achieve optimal throughput, performance improvements that also drive costs down. In the first quarter of 2025, an estimated 273 million metric tons (Mt) of crushed stone were produced and delivered for consumption in the United States, a 6% reduction from the same time in 2024.
  • Material innovation and advanced catalysts: The control of material inputs required by novel catalysts or engineered materials in chemical synthesis is impacting chemical manufacturing processes. For example, nano-structured catalysts and zeolites require narrow particle size distributions to achieve consistent reactivity. Increasingly, chemical manufacturers are requiring precision screening systems to meet the specific input requirements of their new catalytic technologies. The recent advancements in catalytic technology have created new efficiencies in production while reducing energy consumption and demonstrated that high-performance material preparation systems are necessary in chemical manufacturing.
  • Recycling & waste management: Strict environmental regulations, in addition to circular economy-feeding strategies, act as a stimulus to recycle construction and demolition waste. Mechanical crushing and screening systems normally can process and convert concrete, asphalt, and rubble into reusable aggregates. Compared to the global average of 450 tons per acre, India's resource extraction rate is 1,580 tons per acre. India's 131 non-attainment cities are required by the National Clean Air Program to cut their particle pollution by 40% by 2026. Therefore, managing waste from construction and demolition (C&D) has become essential to any attempt to reduce pollution levels. This decreases the need for landfills for that waste, can lower the cost for potential raw materials, and helps meet green building objectives. Due to this, recycling is now a prominent growth focus for equipment manufacturers across the globe.

Challenges

  • Rising environmental compliance costs: More stringent emissions regulations from agencies like the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) mean compliance costs are rising. Crushing and screening systems typically cause emissions via dust, noise, and vibration, often meaning expensive retrofitting or upgrades will be required to meet these new emissions standards. The EPA Clean Air Act revisions in 2023, which revealed a steep decline in allowed emissions of particulate matter, will cost extra in small crushing and screening plants to operate, according to an EPA agency impact analysis. For instance, Caterpillar spent $551 million on research & development in the quarter that ended on June 30, 2025, a 2.99% increase from the previous year. This results in market saturation being slowed in chemical-saturated states like Texas and Louisiana.
  • Trade barriers and WTO compliance: The World Trade Organization has stated that technical barriers to trade associated with equipment certification slow market access to core areas. For example, crushing systems that were imported into India were required to have a Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification, and imported systems to the EU had to comply with CE Marking. In 2022, for Chinese manufacturers, the increased lead time due to delays with certification processes increased by up to 4 months when seeking certification. These certification processes will similarly slow down governments seeking to fast-track procurement, especially with public-private partnerships (PPPs), which rely on foreign direct investment (FDI).
