The global jet mill market is currently valued at $141.2 million, with five-year growth projected to take it to $184.9 million.1 Market research suggests that market share is divided equally between fluidized bed and spiral jet milling — both at 35% — with the remaining 30% attributed to a non-specific “others” category.2
Higher demand for premium makeup and healthcare products in the cosmetics industry is cited as a key contributor to jet mill market growth, as is steadily increasing micronization use in the pharmaceutical and coatings/inks industries.1
However, jet milling offers product and competitive advantages that make it attractive to many industries — and the broad appeal must also be factored into how jet milling trends are shaping up.
Of the particle size reduction methods, jet milling achieves the finest results — typically measured in microns or nanometers — and the tightest distributions. With appropriate materials and jet mill adjustments, larger scale particles can also be produced.
But grinding versatility isn’t the only reason jet milling is feasible for a breadth of industries. Aerospace, automotive, ceramics, cosmetics, industrials, petrochemicals, and pharmaceutical operations are leveraging these benefits:
Knowing the benefits of jet milling is important, but understanding how your toll processor optimizes the process is critical for successful outcomes. Partnering with a jet milling expert provides efficiencies and capabilities that aren’t necessarily available from every toll processor, including:
Having the capacity to drill into detailed information adds value to a jet milling partnership — and typically brings about desired high-quality results faster.
Jet milling trends point to even wider — and more efficient — use of this particle size reduction method across industries and products. Positioning your company to leverage the benefits for products in existing or new markets starts with a clear understanding of the process basics, which you’ll find in Jet Milling Services Fundamentals: A Manufacturer’s Guide.
