Seed Processing Equipment Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Elevator, Aspirator, Polishers, Separator, Graders, Cleaner and Other Product Types), Process, Application and By Geography

Seed Processing Equipment Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Elevator, Aspirator, Polishers, Separator, Graders, Cleaner and Other Product Types), Process, Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Seed Processing Equipment Market is accounted for $2.9 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $5.4 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 10.9% during the forecast period. Having healthier seeds with better germination potential is possible with the aid of seed processing. The worldwide seed processing industry is experiencing revenue growth due to the rising need for seed processing in agriculture to obtain healthier seeds with the best germination potential. Preparing harvested seed for farmers to replant is known as seed processing or seed conditioning. Precleaning, cleaning, drying, threshing, size grading, quality testing, processing, packaging, and labelling are some of the procedures. It is necessary to remove these things from freshly gathered seeds before continuing with the other operations. These materials can include leaves, stalks, stones, soil particles, weed seeds, and more.

According to International Labour Organisation data, the percentage of persons working in agriculture has decreased from 44 per cent in 1991 to 26 per cent in 2020. According to the National Agriculture Statistical Service's Farm Labour Survey self-employment and family farming have decreased by 73 per cent while hired farm workers decreased by 52 per cent in the United States.

Market Dynamics

Driver

Growing demand for food crops

Population growth, rural-to-urban migration, and climate change are all predicted to increase competition for farming resources. Equipment for processing seeds improves productivity and allows for higher production with less effort. Additionally, the demand for mechanised seed processors and polishers is being driven by beneficial government initiatives and policies, particularly in emerging nations and the requirement for expanding quantities of food crops.

Restraint

Strict regulations

Governments in many emerging nations are predicted to impose strict regulations on crop health, quality, packaging, and storage that will further impede market expansion. A few other significant constraints limiting market growth are rising supply chain costs, high labour expenses, increasing move to more modern technologies, and rising R&D and workforce investment levels.

Opportunity

Advancements in seed treatment equipment

Equipment producers for seed treatment are concentrating on automating their products to enable accuracy in product processing and enhance seed coating and drying methods. Producers of seed treatment machinery have created portable, completely automated machines that incorporate all seed treatment procedures. Additionally, automated equipment may speed up processing, all of which contribute to the market's expansion.

Threat

Lack of qualified workers

Workers that are skilled and sanitary are essential in the food processing sector. Lack of qualified staff is the most important factor in maintaining production lines in good working order. Furthermore, the principal cause of agricultural devastation is climate change. These factors have a significant impact on grain output. Additionally, the market's expansion is hampered by natural disasters like floods and earthquakes.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has halted manufacturing of a number of items in the seed industry processing equipment sector, mostly as a result of the protracted state of emergency in several developed nations. The epidemic has already had a severe impact on the sales of machinery and equipment and is anticipated to have a detrimental effect on market expansion. The primary need for equipment and machinery was previously observed from large manufacturing nations, which have been severely hampered by the corona virus outbreak, which has halted the demand for such items.

The debearding segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The debearding segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to it requires less time. Debearding increases the flowability of seeds by performing further seed cleaning procedures to get rid of any leftover debris, boost purity, and cut down on the size of the seed lot. Additionally, the seeds flow more easily through seeding machinery, which lowers clogging and increases uniformity of seeding rate. Some plants can improve water intake and reduce dormancy through debearding.

The oilseeds & pulses segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The oilseeds & pulses segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the rising demand for pulses, the growing consumer awareness about the importance of consuming protein-rich diets, and the increasing demand for plant-based protein products. Additionally boosting market growth is the emerging countries' booming food industries and the expansion of the cooking oil sector.

Region with Largest share

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to rising demand for various cash crops. Further expected drivers of market revenue growth include expanding agricultural practises and rising consumer demand for high-quality agricultural produce. Additionally, expanding agricultural practises and rising consumer demand for high-quality agricultural produce are expected to support market revenue growth.

Region with highest CAGR

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the growing demand for high-tech modern agricultural machinery. Regional growth is being fueled by the major participants in the food chain's increasing acceptance and demand for high-quality seeds. In the area, farmers choose processed seeds to increase yield and production. Implementation of seed processing is being driven by an increase in the demand for high-quality seeds for cultivation and to increase crop yields at many farms in the region.
