Energy development in today’s industry constitutes a major issue, as the future sustainability of the planet heavily depends on this sector. In particular, the industry to be examined in this study is the juice production sector, which is in urgent need of modernization through new innovations and forms of energy development. The primary goal is the reduction of environmental pollutants, along with enhancing competitiveness by lowering production and transportation costs. The entire industry is intrinsically linked with technological advancement, sustainability, and the development of new markets—areas that are crucial for revenue growth. Currently, the dominant trend is the development and proper utilization of renewable energy sources, using all essential and legally accepted methods, with the aim of maximizing the potential provided by nature, such as solar and wind energy—resources that are inexhaustible. As a result, through the installation of state-of-the-art wind turbines and solar panels, industrial energy consumption will achieve autonomy, and the unprofitable waste of conventional energy sources will be eliminated. Additionally, beyond the field of renewable energy, a key factor lies in the upgrading and introduction of new machinery, which will enhance the existing types of juice products, significantly reduce energy consumption, and introduce new product categories, such as those with organic certifications. These machines will have the ability to fully utilize the raw material and deliver the desired outcomes. This evolution will enable exports into new markets and sectors, generating increased revenues. With the modernization of the industry, costs will be considerably reduced, and new opportunities will arise. Overall, for the above plan to be implemented, it is essential to conduct financial studies, in order to obtain results through appropriate techniques, such as SWOT analysis, which will clearly outline the strategic plan to be followed, ensuring the achievement of all business objectives.
