Grain Processing Machinery Market

Grain Processing Machinery Market: Introduction

Equipment that are used to process different grains are known as grain processing equipment. The process of grain processing includes grinding, pressure, and heat. Grains are processed to improve the digestibility of various nutrients in grains. Wheat, oats, rice, corn, etc. have to pass through processes such as cleaning, grading, and hulling, before reaching consumers.

After harvesting, cereal goes for threshing, winnowing, drying, and storage. After these stages, the grains are sent for primary processing by machines. Grains are cleaned with the help of cleaners. Winnowing machines can be used to separate the chaff, soil, and dirt. Post cleaning, grains are sent for grading, where they are separated on the basis of their size. Several grains have husks or shells that need to be removed by a decorticator machine. After the separation step, grains are sent for the drying process in order to remove any moisture. Some grain processors use insecticides to protect grains from insects and pests and store them in warehouses.

Key Drivers of the Grain Processing Machinery Market

• Rise in population, increase in demand for leisure food, growing household income, rising globalization, and changes in lifestyle are propelling the grain processing machinery market.
• Increased consumption of food and beverages leads to growth of retail networks. Population growth and new product launches are expected to drive the market during the forecast period. Increase in demand for ready-to-eat and processed food products are pushing the demand for grain processing machinery at the global level.

Innovative milling machinery and joint ventures creating opportunities in the grain processing machinery market

To ensure integrated development of the agro-processing industry, companies are looking to provide high-performance solutions for rice and grain processing that meets international standards of grain cleaning, milling, and sorting. The innovation in the machinery helps in providing end to end mill solutions with low maintenance & high accuracy, accompanied by after-sales support. Companies also ensure a complete machinery range backed up with a robust design.

In 2021, Russian Rostselmash plans to launch production of agricultural machinery in Azerbaijan. Such joint ventures and successful transfer of technologies creates new opportunity in the production of high-tech agricultural machinery globally.

Regional disparities such as rainfed in hot areas or sudden climatic change act as restraints for the grain processing machinery market

Major issues handled by farmers are the sudden changes in climatic conditions impacting agricultural land. Production of grains gets impacted on a large scale due to such factors that in turn affects the entire production cycle. Also, natural calamities such as floods and earthquakes also hamper the growth of the agricultural sector, which in turns impacts the growth of the grain processing machinery market.

Asia Pacific the dominant market

China, India, and Japan dominate the grain processing machinery market in Asia Pacific. Agriculture is labor intensive in countries such as India, China, and Indonesia, and is offering new opportunities in such regions. Asia Pacific is expected to witness surge in demand for processed food on account of increasing spending power, globalization, and changing lifestyles.
