Grain Analysis Market

Grain Analysis Market Size, Share, Growth (2023-2028)

Grain Analysis Market was worth USD 2.35 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.12 % to reach USD 3.17 billion from 2023 to 2028.

Grain Analysis Market Overview:

The purpose of grain analysis is to determine the quality of food grains by examining their characteristics. Analyzing the quality of grain is one of the most significant aspects of the farming process for producers of food and, in the end, for consumers as well. Moisture, protein, specific weight, mycotoxins, oil content, and fall number are all key factors in grain testing. Furthermore, these different elements in grain affect its quality, marketability, and overall value as a product. A variety of specialized grain testing equipment is available to farmers and producers to check grain quality at various stages of the production process. This is to ensure the quality of the grain. In addition, Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a method for checking grain quality that is used to analyze grain properties by using infrared energy as well as the electromagnetic spectrum to observe grain properties.

Grain Analysis Market Drivers:

As a consequence of an unhealthy lifestyle, people are afraid to become infected or ill because they are more concerned about their health than ever before. Therefore, the Grains analysis market is being driven for a variety of reasons, including a high level of fibre, protein, vitamins, and minerals for the various advantages of grains. In addition, good grain quality lowers the risk of heart failure, one of the leading causes of illness in the younger generation that is becoming more and more prevalent. There has been an increase in the adoption of advanced technologies in testing procedures among manufacturers in order to provide high-quality food products to consumers. As a result of this factor, the grain analysis market is expected to grow significantly in the near future.

The rise in Health and Safety Concerns

The lifestyles of today's generation are becoming increasingly hectic, which in turn is increasing people's concerns about health and safety. Urbanization is increasing rapidly because a large majority of the rural population is moving into urban areas in search of better life and employment opportunities. Due to longer working hours, more people are developing unhealthy lifestyles. This has forced them to purchase products that are more nutritional and of higher quality, thus driving the grain analysis market upwards. Hence, the government is beginning to develop strict and specific regulations regarding the quality of food grains as a result of this concern.

Grain Analysis Market Restraints:

Food grains have been subjected to varied tests in developing countries due to the lack of knowledge about food quality and the lack of testing equipment available. Due to these factors, the market's growth has slowed down. The lack of government policies at the disposal of farmers and exporters is another major factor preventing the growth of the grain analysis market from achieving its full potential.

Lack of knowledge of food quality

Due to the lack of resources, engaging in international trade is extremely difficult since they must meet the requirements of food safety standards. There are a number of factors that impede the growth of the food grain analysis market, including poor hygiene at every stage of the food chain and old farming techniques that are no longer suited for the modern world.

Grain Analysis Market Segmentation

By Grain Type

• Cereals

• Oilseeds

• Pulses

The cereals sub-segment leads the grain type segment and is expected to grow rapidly over the forecasted period. The various benefits of cereals as compared to others, such as being an excellent source of carbohydrates, a significant source of protein, and a good source of B-group vitamins, are driving the market to grow.

Target Tested

• Pathogens

• Pesticides

• GMO

• Mycotoxins

• Others

In terms of global market share, the pathogen segment held a majority of the global market share in the forecast period and is expected to maintain its lead throughout. Foodborne pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites can cause serious illnesses such as food poisoning and are thus classified as foodborne pathogens. As a result of pathogen analysis, certain diseases like the flu, the common cold, and measles can be reduced in their danger levels.

Technology

• agar culturing

• convenience-based

• Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

• Immunoassay

• chromatography & spectrometry

The Polymerase Chain Reaction segment held the largest share of the global market and is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period. In the field of food analysis, it is one of the most widely used methods. In addition to being sensitive enough to detect infectious diseases, including foodborne diseases, PCR has various advantages over other methods of detection.

End Use

• Food

• Feed

The food industry segment accounted for the largest share of the global market and is expected to lead due to its high carbohydrate content and a significant source of protein that is used in everyday life. There has been an increase in the import and export of food and a growing concern about health-safety among consumers in recent years, which has led the government to become strict regarding the testing of food products.

Component

• Instruments

• Consumables & reagents

• Reference materials

The instruments subsegment has the highest market share, and consumables and reagents are expected to grow the fastest during the forecast period.

Grain Analysis Market  Regional Analysis:

• Asia Pacific

• North America

• Europe

• South America

• Middle East & Africa

The grain analysis market in the European Union holds the largest market share in the world. This is due to strict government rules and policies regarding the consumption of grains by humans and animals. A large number of grain analysis laboratories are present in this region, which is one of the factors driving the growth of this market.

Since China and India are the largest food grains producers and consumers in the world, they have become the leaders in this market. Since this region has a large market, it is expected that it will grow at a high rate over the forecast period as a result.
