The agricultural Grain Protectants market finds itself at the heart of a very dynamic sphere of agriculture, where grain conservation while in storage is a fundamental part of sustenance and supply management. Various types of grain protectants which are chemical formulations used to prevent attack on stored grains by pests and insects influence the flow of this product distribution. A key factor that contributes to the rating is the urgent world call to decrease post-harvest losses on a global scale. In the context of an ever-expanding global population that always strives for food security, conserving harvested grains during storage becomes key among all. Crop defenders are an amalgamation of both the techniques of minimizing the lost due to the attacks from pests & insects and influencing the food security and market.
In addition to the increasing awareness of food safety and quality standards, this is among the vital market-driving disparities. Consumers and regulatory bodies are largely dictating and changing the trend, they are putting more emphasis on the quality and safety of food products. Grain protectants are a clearly essential tool in the maintenance of high product quality due to preventing contamination from insects and pests, which then aligns with highly defined food safety requirements. The soaring concern for the best quality of grains is the driver of market demand, after that, efficient grain protectant becomes one of the most important factors in the storage process.
In the context of grain trade, the international markets are equally dynamic putting pressure on the exporting countries to meet the phytosanitary standards of the importing countries. Foreign markets that require the imports to come without pests and contamination are indispensable for international trade, since most of the importing countries are extremely rigorous in making sure the transfer of pests is prevented. Prophylactic products for grains are holding a key position for grain export participants in order to attain phytosanitary necessities which in turn stabilizing markets by pulverization of impediments in trade and grain circulation at the international level.
Nevertheless, matters like the environmental hazards of chemical grain preservatives and the increase of organic alternatives in the production have its own effects on the market. Grain protection using natural substance, modified atmospheres, or non-chemical approaches has been recently paying much attention in view of factors including the environment and agriculture sustainability. The shift towards bio-based grain protectants creates difficulties for suppliers of traditional chemical grain protectants, which in turn gives a breathing space to the manufacturers who are trying to get an edge in the industry by meeting consumers’ demand for environmentally-friendly products.
In addition to the spillovers and dynamic of markets the studying and developing processes of grain protection add up to the market dynamics. New advances in the formulations of granular products, the various application ways and the use of hybrid approaches make the arsenal of grain protectants rich and continuously improve.
Grain Protectants Market Highlights:
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.Â
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.Â
