Grain Protectants Market Analysis

ID: MRFR//5674-HCR | 140 Pages | Author: Snehal Singh| May 2024

The magnitude of grain protectants is considerably influenced by the set of elements such as farmers’ perceptions, soil and weather conditions, international trade, research and development, and social acceptance among others; all of which can support or stagnate their progress and success in agriculture." A major cause why this market is developing is a steadily growing demand for foodstuffs by the whole planet plus the necessity to secure corn after each reaping from pests and insects. A protective cover against grain pests, achieveable through use of insecticides and fungicides, plays a significant part in ensuring grain crops from the fields remain high in quality and in abundance, unravelled during storage and transportation. Resultantly, as the population of the world goes up over time, the need to put in place effective post-harvest controls gets more apparent that, at the end, the demand for grain protectants remains steady.
Projecting a revenue size of USD 1.2 Billion in the year 2027, the Growth Rate of Compound Annual (CAGR) is expected to be around 5.31% covering the forecast period of the years from 2021 to 2027. The grain market has been growing remarkably for the past couple of years and this is mainly because of the need to store the grains that are affected by the harsh weather conditions resulting in erratic prices of the sellers.
It is of vital importance that regulators determine the trading conditions of the grain protecants markets. Governments and the regulatory agencies enact the rules and limitations on application of chemicals by growing, indeed authorities are entitled to take care about food safety and environment. While implementing these regulations affects the empanelment, formulation, and application techniques, it also implies the strictness of grain protectants manufacturers in excess. Regulatory and policy updates like the introduction of new rules and guidelines will have a major impact on both the availability of and its consumers' utilization patterns of the grain's protectors.
The global pest control market concerning resistance of pest and the applicable pest management solutions are two driving factors taking part in market dynamics. Pesticides and pests know better how to avoid being burned by previously applied chemical means, which make their resistance grow, necessitating the designers to come up with new formulations and alternative pest management plans. Research and development activity works on making grains’ repellents stronger and more ecofriendly so that the develop of resistance to pesticides could be overcome and pest control in stored grains could be greatly improved.

Market development is also affected by the outside agriculture factors like the way farmers adopt green and ecological approach for agricultural production. Nowadays, farmers more and more, turn to non-polluting and environmentally conscious agricultural technologies; that is why there are particular burdony requirements for the grain protectants corresponding to these principles. The newer generations of grain protectants emanating from biology are becoming more mature as well as going eco-friendly protectants with minimal environmental impact and low chemical residues in stored grains are gaining prominence. The market provides, originated by consumer and the growers demand, a diverse groups of products as well. The offer seeks to meet the rising needs for environmentally friendly producers and customers.

Grain Protectants Market Scenario


Grain Protectants Market is expected to garner revenue of USD 1.2 Billion by 2030 at a CAGR of approximately 5.31%during the forecast period of 2023–2030.



The notable market growth can be attributed to the need for storing grains to overcome the impact of fluctuating market prices of grains. Farmers, traders, and stockists store their grains in warehouses until desirable market prices are received and demand for grains exceeds the supply. Another challenge faced during the storage of grains is the post-harvest loss caused during the storage due to pest infestation. To overcome such a challenge, grain protectants are widely being used to protect the grains from pest loss during storage, which, in turn, is driving the market growth of grain protectants. However, frequent usage of chemical grain protectants has led to increasing insecticide resistance in insects, thus hampering the sales of chemical insecticides and growth of market. 


The major challenge being faced by the market players is the availability of chemical residues used to protect the grains. The market is expected to emerge lucrative for the vendors active in the market due to the launch of innovative products that overcome the limitations of banned grain protection chemicals.
