Global Gravimetric Feeder (Loss-in-Weight) Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Gravimetric Feeder (Loss-in-Weight) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 719 million in 2025 to US$ 968 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2026 to 2032.

In 2025, global sales of gravity feeders (loss-in-weight) reached 39,592 units, with an average price of $18,571 per unit.

Loss-in-Weight Feeders generate a controlled, absolutely constant mass flow, as required in mixing processes or extruder infeed. Loss-in-weight feeders can be used for both small to medium feeding ranges. They work with extreme precision under optimum ambient conditions. They are very flexible and can handle bulk solids, liquids and even poorly flowing products. They are used in many continuous processes such as feeding extruders requiring a high level of short-term feeding consistency. They are also used in the food industry and in laboratories by means of appropriate storage containers and adapted feeding devices. The design varies from compact constructions to modular concepts depending on usage.

The main raw materials for loss-in-weight gravity feeders are stainless steel sheet metal parts, load cells, servo motors/reducers, screws, and control boards. All parts in contact with the material are made of 304/316L stainless steel, accounting for approximately 45% of the total BOM weight and about 30% of the cost. Load cells, servo systems, and PLC/dedicated control boards account for another 30%, with the remainder consisting of machined parts, seals, cables, and surface coatings. Since the core metering algorithm and IC control board are designed by the manufacturer and outsourced, while the hardware is sourced from brands like Siemens and Schneider Electric, raw material supply is ample. Price fluctuations of sensors and electrical components have the greatest impact on cost.
