DUBLIN, Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Grain Protectants Market by Control Method (Chemical (Insecticides, Fumigants, Rodenticides), Physical (Traps, Baits, Aeration, Heat Treatment), Biological), Target Pest (Insects, Rodents), Grain Type, and Region - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The grain protectants market is estimated to be USD 572.7 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 726.1 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.86%.
The market is driven by the need to reduce grain losses during storage and the growing market pressure on farmers to gain better grain prices during the post-harvest stage. However, the increasing insect pest resistance to certain active substances and stringent regulations on maximum residue levels (MRLs) emphasize the need to develop new active substances that are effective and less hazardous to the environment and human health.
As per a Lancaster University research report dated September 1998, grain spoilage is usually the cumulative result of several different handling and management operations and decisions. The report states that the overall chance of maintaining grain quality depends on the entire management program. Hence, just one or two methods applied individually may not provide the desired results when it comes to protecting the stored grains from pests or other damage.
The chemical segment accounted for the largest share among all control products in 2018. The large share of this segment is due to its effectiveness compared to other control methods such as physical and biological. Also, manufacturers in the grain protectants market offer a wide range of chemical-based compounds such as insecticides, rodenticides, and fumigants for their use in grain storage spaces to prevent pests such as insects, rodents, and fungal species.
On the basis of grain type, the grain protectants market is estimated to be dominated by the corn segment in 2018. This dominance is attributed to the increased preference for corn-based products for food, chemical, and fuel purposes, especially in developed countries such as the US. As a result, large amounts of corn grains are stored to meet the growing demand for these crops, from different industries.
In this report, the target pest market has been segmented into insects; rodents; and others; which include fungal species, mites, and birds. The insects segment is estimated to account for the largest share in 2018. This dominance can be attributed to the high amount of infestations and damages that occur in the storage spaces due to insects. Additionally, there are a wide variety of insects that infest different types of grains either by feeding on them or by making a cavity in them for habitation.
North America accounted for the largest share in the grain protectants market in 2017, followed by Asia Pacific and Europe. The rising population and decreasing arable land have led to an increase in the demand for food security and food safety, globally. Additionally, the growing concerns of food grain damage and deterioration due to pest manifestations have led to the increased use of grain protectants for food grains. Developing regions such as Asia Pacific and Africa lack the infrastructure needed for technological advancements and the awareness of efficient grain storage methods.
Although a steady growth is projected for the next 5 years for the global market, increasing pest resistance is a restraining factor affecting the growth of the grain protectants market. Due to stringent regulations pertaining to the use of chemicals in terms of health, environment, safety, and economic considerations, a very limited number of chemicals are available in the market for application on stored grains.
The global market for grain protectants is dominated by key players such as Bayer (Germany), Sumitomo Chemical (Japan), BASF (Germany), Nufarm (Australia), UPL (India), and DowDuPont (US).
