Exports grew by 15.6% and reached 11.1 billion rubles, while the share of domestic factories in the domestic market increased to 53.6% (+1.6 percentage points).

These figures were announced by the President of the Association, Konstantin Babkin, at the "Food Machinery Manufacturing-2025" forum, which took place in Moscow with the support of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Union of Machine Builders of Russia.

Industry dynamics over recent years:

  • From 2020 to 2024, the production of food equipment in Russia increased by 233% — from 64.8 billion rubles to 216 billion rubles;
  • Exports grew by 43% — from 12.2 billion rubles to 17.5 billion rubles;
  • The share of Russian companies in the domestic market rose from 37% to 53%.

Meanwhile, the total volume of the food equipment market in Russia for January–August 2025 decreased by 3.8% and amounted to 225.5 billion rubles.

The Association "Rosspetsmash" has proposed increasing import customs duties on food equipment from unfriendly countries to 30%, provided that analogous equipment is produced in Russia.
