Market Insight

The continuously growing population, which is expected to be around 9.1 billion by 2050, will require 70% more food as compared today, to feed such a big population. As per one study conducted in the United States, in 2010, it was found that around 133 billion of food (around 1/3 of the total available food) was wasted at retail and consumer level owing to the post-harvest treatment problem. The cereal crops, roots crops, and fruits and vegetables were the major sufferers of the post-harvest loss, they accounted for 19%, 20%, and 44% losses respectively in the United States. Further, the post-harvest treatment of the cereal crops, root crops, and fruits and vegetable help to minimize the losses during transportation, storage, and distribution and helps to combat hunger and strengthen food security. Additionally, it helps to reduce the strain on the agriculture land to produce more. The post-harvest treatment helps to minimize the physical and quality loss during the supply chain, which translates into a better price for the produce, which helps to improve the farmers' livelihoods and contribute to generate additional employment and rural development.

The continuously growing population and growing scarcity of the food products are helping to grow the post-harvest treatment market. Further, the growing global focus to remove the hunger problem from society is constantly motivating the government to focus on the post-harvest treatment of agriculture produce. Additionally, the growing influence of the organized retail chain in developing countries is boosting the growth of the post-harvest treatment market. However, the lack of awareness among the farmers and consumers is restricting the growth of the post-harvest treatment market. The continuous growing scarcity of scare resources as land, water is forcing the government to promote the contribution of the post-harvest treatment to eliminate the hunger problem from society.

Geographically, the post-harvest treatment market is segmented into four regions namely North America, Europe, the Asia-Pacific, and RoW. The Asia-Pacific is the largest market, owing to the growing demand of the food products and government focus to eliminate the hunger problem through post-harvest treatment. Additionally, growing focus of the several governments in this region to maintain a buffer stock of the food products to combat any the untoward situation as famine, flood, war, and others, is continuously boosting the demand of the post-harvest treatment in this region.
