Grain Protectants Market Share

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

The agricultural sector has seen significant trends emerge in the Grain Protectants market that showcase the changing account of grain preservation and pests in the area . Among the trends can be mentioned the growing request for sustainable grain protection with light environmental effect. The necessity of the saving of traditional grain protection techniques, such as chemical fumigation, comes to the fore as people become aware of their negative environmental impact, thus, there is an increase in the demand for grain protectants which are effective yet have the low ecological consequences. This trend accompanies the general tendency among the agri-industry to be more environmentally-friendly and to discourage irresponsible pest management.

Besides, market when it comes to grain protectants it is observed that the trend is using alternative methods or pesticides as substitutes for chemical fumigants. Environmental regulations and the growing stake of the society engaged in the health and well-being of employees and consumers have led to the extensive search for less toxic products. Non-toxic protective agents, such as biological succcessors, botanical extracts, and microbial agents, are gaining momentum as great substitutions to chemical fumigants. These substitute the broad spectrum of pesticides with spot treatment that lowers the residual amount and therefore harmful effects on non-targeter organisms, bringing the industry into compliance with the regulations, and as well, consumers preferences.

Rising insects resistance to protectants which usual grain protects is the other topic shopping for attention in this market. Insects have the ability to contribute to the development by the resistance to chemical fumigates over the course of time, which result in the control of pest are declining. This development, the research and development efforts, focused on new active ingredients and the discovery and testing of new formulations with different mechanisms of action that can overcome insect resistance have been triggered by the trend. Efforts for cutting-edge grain protectants may be expected to promote in the longer run enhanced pest management sustainability in the grain storage.

In addition, technological breakthrough in the reporting and adoption featuring of these grain protectants also impacts the Grain Protectants market. The equipment of digital technologies is essential in this case, which is used for sensing and real-time monitoring of pests. Therefore, emerging pest infestations can be detected earlier and appropriate measures taken in time. This type of innovation has brought about the shift in use of future-oriented pest control strategies which in turn, reduce the level of reactive measures being taken. However, as the quality of the application equipment andtechniques improves, grain protectant distributing becomes efficient enough to ensure broad coverage and best pest elimination.

Furthermore, the market is seeing a rise in multifunctional grain protectants development that can save grain production from multiple harmful biotic factors during storage. In the meantime, manufacturers are increasingly trying to develop relevant formulations not only to protect grains from pests but also to deal with other problems that the grains might face, for example, fungal diseases that can develop in grains and the production of toxins in them. This is a clear indication that the industry is aware of the interrelated nature of grains storage problems and provides the foundations to both short and long term solutions that move from meeting minimum requirements to an approach of holistic protection of the grains.

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. 


Segmentation


Grain Protectants industry has been segmented based on Type, Target Pest, Grain Type, and Region. By type, the global market has been classified as chemical, biological, and physical. The chemical segment is further segregated into insecticides, rodenticides, and others  The global market has also been segregated, on the basis of the target pest, into rodents, insects, and others. The insect segment has been further segmented into beetles, grain borers, weevils, and others. Based on grain type, the market is segregated into, rice, wheat, corn, and others  The global market has been studied with regard to four key regions—North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the rest of the world. The North America market has further been segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The Europe grain protectants market has been classified as the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the rest of Europe. The market in Asia-Pacific has been divided into China, India, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, and the rest of Asia-Pacific. The market in the rest of the world has been segmented into South America, the Middle East, and Africa.


Key Players


Nufarm (Australia), Bayer (Germany), Corteva (US), Degesch America (US), BASF SE (Germany), Syngenta (Switzerland), FMC Corporation (US), Hedley Technologies (Canada), Arysta LifeScience Corporation (US), Central Life Sciences (US), Sumitomo Chemical (Japan), and UPL (India) are some of the key players in the global grain protectants industry.


Regional Market Summary


North America is expected to dominate the global market throughout the review period owing to the presence of numerous grain warehouses and grain processing plants. Additionally, the need to meet the standards while storing grains in warehouses is also boosting the sales of grain protectants in the region. However, the market in Asia-Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the huge production of grains in the region and increasing the loss of grains during storage. 


Grain Protectants Market: Focus on Innovation to Combat Challenges


The grain protectants market is witnessing steady growth, driven by the need to minimize losses during storage and transportation. Recent developments in the market highlight a focus on innovation to address emerging challenges:Rise of Organic Options: Growing consumer preference for organic food is leading to a surge in demand for organic grain protectants. Manufacturers are developing bio-based and botanical alternatives to synthetic pesticides.Combating Evolving Pests: Pests are developing resistance to traditional chemicals. Research and development efforts are underway to create new and more effective grain protectants with novel modes of action.Integration with Smart Storage Solutions: The rise of smart storage facilities with digital monitoring and control systems is creating opportunities for integrating grain protectants with these technologies for optimized protection
