Factors such as rising need to increase agricultural productivity and favorable government policies and regulations are some of the factors driving the growth of agricultural coatings.

Agricultural Coating Market Dynamics:

Driver: Enhancement and benefits derived from seed technologies to encourage the adoption of seed coated products

There are various technological developments in seed technologies, which increasingly benefit sustainable crop production. The increasing demand for agricultural output has encouraged the commercial use of innovative seed technologies. There is an increasing trend of commercial application of seed technologies by specialist applicators or seed companies. High-value seeds require more complex technology, and thus, are used by commercial applicators.

Request for Customization:
https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/requestCustomizationNew.asp?id=84350079

The introduction of advanced low-rate chemistry and genetic traits has changed conventional soil-applied pesticides to seed-delivered solutions. In addition, the development of commercial seeds, such as hybrid corn, rice, and cotton, has encouraged the commercial application of low seed rates, further increasing the cost benefits of commercial seed enhancement technologies. Companies such as BASF SE (Germany), Bayer (Germany), and Croda International Plc (UK) are engaged in developing new and innovative treatment solutions, including seed coating and priming.

The type of seed enhancement technologies used depends on the crop type, soil type, and the economic growth of the region, and the value of seeds. Thus, there is a high growth scope for customization of seeds, encouraging the development of innovative seed technologies. Countries such as the US, India, China, and Brazil are witnessing a trend of adopting on-farm techniques to cultivate specialist seeds. These specialists use various seed enhancement solutions to increase the quality and productivity of seeds, providing high growth opportunities for seed coating material manufacturers. Thus, increasing the application of commercial seed technology is projected to drive the growth of the market for seed coating materials.

Restraint: Uncertainty in climate conditions to impact the seed coating market

Climate changes play an important role in the agricultural industry. It is useful in improving the yield and preventing diseases and insect attacks. Uncertainties in the climatic conditions are projected to impact the crop yield, which results in the loss of crops.

Climate has a significant impact on various agricultural crops, and at times, climatic factors are the natural factors that encourage the production of crops. Weather forecasts are important for agricultural activities to plan agricultural practices, such as sowing, irrigation, management of crop diseases & pests, and harvest planning. For instance, common mustard crops grow naturally in mesic temperate regions; these mustard crops are projected to reduce due to global warming and increased aridity. Increased aridity is predicted to reduce the oil concertation and seed yield of rapeseed crops.

The increased emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide, is responsible for the change in global temperature and warming. This change in the climate directly affects the oilseed crops by decreasing the activity of pollinators. For instance, rapeseed is grown globally for cooking, animal feed, and biofuels

Opportunity: Crop-specific nutrient management through precision farming

Precision agriculture is a technology-based approach to grow crops efficiently in a site-specific manner with specialized application equipment, which can help retain water and nutrients in the root zone. The work scheme of precision agriculture can be summarized in three stages:

Geo-referenced remote area information using certain sensors
Analysis of data obtained through an appropriate system of information processing
Adjustment of the amount applied depending on the needs of each location
Precision farming has the potential to improve production and nutrient-use efficiency, ensuring that nutrients do not leach from or accumulate in excessive concentrations in parts of the field. Precision farming has been gaining importance in developed countries for efficient usage of the fertigation method in which controlled-release fertilizers play an important role. The release patterns and coating technology of controlled-release fertilizers can be fed into the information system, which can further provide an accurate analysis of the nutrient requirements for the crops, application rate, and mixing ratio required within the fertigation system.

Challenges: Limited adoption of controlled-release technology

Controlled-release fertilizers have been in use for a long time in countries such as the US and in Western European countries. However, the technology has been relatively nascent for developing countries. Limited awareness of the advantages of CRF with respect to application cost and environmental concerns has been hampering the growth of this market to a large extent. The main reason for the low rate of adoption of this technology is the established conventional fertilizers market since the demand for conventional fertilizers among farmers has been strongly fueled by their belief in high crop returns.

On the other hand, in countries such as India and China, where agriculture is the major source of income for more than half of the country’s population, farmers are not willing to take risks against their crop production. According to the Institute of Management Development and Research (IMDR) in India, small retailers and shopkeepers are unwilling to stock and sell smart fertilizers in the country as they feel their quality is unreliable.

North America accounted for the largest share during the forecast period in the agricultural coatings market

The increase in the demand for high-yielding and disease-resistant crops from both domestic markets as well as export destinations are some of the key drivers of the seed coatings market in the region. The North American region mostly cultivates crops such as cereals & grains, fruits, vegetables, oilseeds & pulses, and also plants for clothing and other non-food uses. The region mainly grows cereals & grains, such as wheat, rice, barley, corn, sorghum, and oats, which demand more protection. In North America, agriculture is heavily mechanized with an integrated system of supporting agribusinesses. Especially in the US and Canada, most farmers and ranchers have adopted technology, although few groups continue to use animal power for cultivation purposes. Monoculture is popularly practiced in the North American zones. This results in the nutrient deterioration of nitrogen and phosphates in the soil. And also, there is a high possibility of diseases affecting a single species of plants. This has created awareness among the farmers regarding innovation with respect to the improvement of seed performance.

The cold chain market was valued at USD 233.8 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach a value of USD 340.3 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 7.8% in terms of value during the forecast period. The increasing need for temperature control to prevent food losses, growth in international trade owing to trade liberalization, along with the rising demand for perishable goods among consumers across the globe, is driving the growth of the cold chain market.

Market Dynamics:

Driver: Rising Consumer Demand for Perishable Goods

Consumers are now more aware of health and wellness, as well as the effect that food nutrients, especially protein, have on overall physical and mental growth and development. This has resulted in a change in the consumption pattern of perishable foods, such as dairy products, fruits and vegetables, and high-protein animal-based products (such as meat, eggs, and fish and seafood).

Speak to Analyst: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/speaktoanalystNew.asp?id=811

Emerging economies in the Asia Pacific and Latin America are witnessing a high demand for perishable food products. This can be attributed to the rapid urbanization, changing tastes and preferences, and the rising disposable income of consumers in these countries. The market potential for processed and frozen food products is also high in these countries due to their lower adoption rates. The consumption of ready-to-eat meals, such as frozen pizzas, desserts, and snacks, is rising steadily in these countries.

Restraint: Environmental constraints regarding greenhouse gas emissions

Cold chain development places a significant burden on the environment since refrigeration is energy-intensive and is a source of greenhouse gases. Keeping products cold throughout the transportation phase of the cold chain (such as trucks, ships, and trains) accounts for around 7% of the global consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Also, diesel-powered transportation refrigeration units consume up to 21% more power than non-refrigerated diesel-powered trucks. This has significant implications on climate change, as the development of cold chains becomes more ubiquitous in developing countries.

Opportunity: Growth in the Organized Retail Sector

The development of retail channels and chains in the form of supermarkets, hypermarkets, and convenience stores is a major factor driving the growth of the cold chain market. Also, retail chains have developed to an extent where some of the producers have their own in-house refrigerated warehousing facilities. Large food retail chains such as Walmart, Tesco, Spar, and 7-Eleven are expanding their outlets in developed countries such as the UK, Germany, and the US, and in emerging markets such as China, Brazil, and Argentina. For instance, Walmart is the largest American multinational retail corporation with over 11,000 stores across 27 countries. It has a large fleet for the transportation of perishable goods and an effective distribution network. It also hires 3PL refrigerated warehousing service providers to efficiently transport perishable foods to its retail outlets. The emergence of such large retailers and their expanding operations in international trade are creating growth opportunities for the refrigerated warehousing and refrigerated transportation market. The figure below figure represents the high penetration of retail food sales in the high potential GCC market. Although the organized retail market is currently fragmented in this region, significant investment and entry of global retail chains in these countries are expected to boost market consolidation and simultaneously the retail sales penetration for food products.

Challenges: Lack of appropriate infrastructure in emerging markets

The cold chain industry is highly fragmented, mainly in the emerging markets across Asia, Africa, and South America. Cold chain service providers in these regions do not have the resources or the technology required to build high-quality cold chain facilities. Lack of proper food storage, processing, and cold chain logistics, together with weak organization and implementation of controls for compliance with standards, remains a serious challenge in these countries. From procurement to delivery at retail, service providers face many challenges in a cold chain network. Countries in Asia Pacific and South America lack efficient transport infrastructure and are not well connected. The missing links in these networks continue to constrain route choice, while insufficient capacity and the poor quality of infrastructure add costs and time to the transit. The cold chain systems in these markets are not integrated and compatible for use for multiple perishable commodities, which poses a major challenge to market growth.

By temperature type, the frozen segment to account for the larger share in the global market during the forecast period

Companies indulge in the freezing of the food products to enhance the shelf-life of the foods for making them inert. The freezing process slows down the biological and chemical reactions that promote the spoilage of the food. Frozen food locks in the nutrients in the food, making it more attractive than chilled foods. With the need for convenience, the demand for frozen products is growing among consumers. The increased demand for frozen foods is due to its consistent availability throughout the year in supermarkets, hypermarkets, and convenience stores.

Asia Pacific to account for the fastest-growing and largest market at a CAGR of 13.1% during the forecast period

The cold chain market in this region is estimated to witness robust growth propelled by the economic developments of countries such as China, India, Japan, and Australia. The shift of industrialization and investments in Asia Pacific has grown substantially over the past decade, especially in China and India, contributing to rapid economic growth.

The prebiotic segment is estimated to be the largest in 2020

The nutraceutical ingredients market, by type, is estimated to be dominated by the prebiotic segment. Prebiotic ingredients are also exploited as low-calorie fat replacer as they can help reduce obesity and diabetes. The rising health awareness among the global population has a major influence on the demand for prebiotic ingredients. Prebiotics witness a wide range of applications such as fortification in food and beverage products. In feed application, prebiotics are used to protect livestock health and increase the efficiency of nutrient utilization as they are also a key alternative to antimicrobials in feed.

Market Dynamics

DRIVER: Growth in the demand for fortified food owing to the increasing health consciousness amongst consumers
According to a survey conducted by the International Food Information Council (IFIC), in 2009, 87% and in 2011, 89% of the consumers in the US agreed that certain foods have health benefits beyond their basic nutrition. This shows the consumers’ increasing interest in learning more about functional and fortified food products. In 2013, according to the Business Development Bank of Canada, “health concerns are rising, and health awareness is growing among Canadian consumers and will continue to accelerate as the population ages, with 25% of the population over the age of 65 by 2031.” According to a study conducted by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in 2013, the rise in the aging population, coupled with increasing incidences of chronic diseases, has led to changes in eating patterns. Consumers’ concerns regarding nutrient inadequacy tend to be general in nature, rather than concern on a specific health condition or nutrient/component in their diet. Among the consumers who are concerned with nutrient inadequacy in food products, only 16% were concerned with the inadequacy of one or more specific nutrients without regard to general nutrient inadequacy. Most consumers are concerned about general health issues resulting from nutrient insufficiency, rather than one specific health problem.

RESTRAINT: Higher costs of fortified products dissuading large-scale usage and adoption
Nutraceutical ingredients find a wide variety of applications, such as functional food & beverages, animal nutrition, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. However, the inclusion of nutraceutical ingredients in food & beverage products, feed products, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products results in an increase in the prices of these end products. This, in turn, leads to lower adoption of such products, thereby stunting market growth. Over the past few years, there has been an increase in the demand for healthy alternatives of consumables as consumers have become increasingly conscious about the correct diet. Nutraceutical ingredients, when added to any kind of food & beverage product, result in the formation of functional food & beverages, which, in some way, impart a health benefit.

OPPORTUNITY: Product-based and technological innovations in the nutraceutical ingredients industry
Personalized healthcare technologies are being rapidly adopted by various nutraceutical ingredient manufacturers to formulate better-suited and customized end products for consumers. Consumer product companies are now increasingly collecting data to enable a proper analysis of purchasing behavior and lifestyle to provide consumers with tailored options in accordance with their purchasing patterns. For instance, in 2013, Tesco announced its intention to use its Clubcard information to be able to track various chronic illnesses that consumers pay heed to, for the provision of tailored solutions to promote healthier eating habits. This information not only aids consumer companies to come up with personalized dietary advice but also establish significant partnerships with different pharmaceutical companies to help personalize over-the-counter supplements. Apart from the study of consumer purchasing patterns, the personalization of nutraceutical products is also amplified by genomics by enabling treatments that are closely linked to an individual’s genetic profile. Epigenetics and nutrigenomics have identified that every individual has different nutritional requirements, and they respond to food in different ways.

CHALLENGE: Consumer skepticism associated with nutraceutical products
Along with a growing consumer awareness about better dietary choices and increasing health awareness, there also remains an underlying consumer skepticism associated with the adoption of nutraceutical products. While this skepticism stems from multiple factors, the two major reasons hindering consumer adoption of nutraceutical products are their unsubstantiated health claims and synthetic sourcing. Health claims act as a major marketing and selling points for most nutraceutical ingredient manufacturers; however, when such claims do not result in successful fruition, consumer skepticism toward these products increases. For instance, in 2010, Danone withdrew claims that Actimel and Activia boost the immune system and aid digestive health after doubts were raised regarding the same, by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the UK Advertising Standards Authority. As a result, manufacturers of such nutraceutical products remain highly stunted in the manner in which they are able to reach consumers, thereby hindering product adoption.

The key players in the nutraceutical ingredients market include Associated British Foods (Uk), Arla Foods (Denmark), DSM (Netherlands), Ingredion Incorporated (US), Tate & Lyle PLC (UK), Ajinomoto Co., Inc. (Japan), Tate & Lyle (Ireland), Chr. Hansen (Denmark), Kyowa Hakko Kirin Group (Japan), Glanbia plc (Ireland), Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd. (New Zealand), Cargill (US), ADM (US), DuPont (US), BASF (Germany) are the players that hold a significant share in the nutraceutical ingredients market.

COVID-19 Impact on the Global Indoor Farming Technology Market

Amid the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, many individuals have developed a critical point of view towards outdoor food. With health and food safety becoming the key focus, the populations around the globe have showed an inclination towards home cooking and self-made/homemade meals. This has put the food and hotel industry into jeopardy. After the devastating outbreak of coronavirus pandemic, the adoption rate of urban indoor farming systems around the world are estimated to rise sharply. The agriculture industry faced challenges during the initial phases of the spread of the pandemic. There were huge labour shortages on the farm, some farmers missed their window of opportunity for harvesting for seasonal crops, the falling prices of agricultural products and the disruption of logistics. Many countries also realized their over dependence on imports of food materials and hence began emphasizing on internal and domestic productions.


Indoor Farming Technology Market Dynamics

Driver: Need for higher yields using limited space and water.
One of the main advantages of indoor farming is its higher yield compared to conventional farming methods. Enclosed facilities used in indoor farming create optimum growing conditions for farmers to grow a crop from seed to the harvesting stages in lesser time and obtain higher yields in each cycle with limited land area. According to USDA data, in 2016, the average yield of tomatoes grown in greenhouse hydroponics was 10.59 pounds per square foot, and that of traditionally grown tomatoes was 1.85 pounds per square foot. Therefore, indoor farms can increase the overall crop yield by stacking additional layers and increasing the growing area.


Indoor farming addresses the concern of limited space, as certain plants can be grown in smaller areas. For instance, in vertical farming, every facility developed reduces the need for utilizing land by a hundred-fold. The level of water wastage is less when compared to conventional farming. Indoor farms recirculate and reuse the water; an average of 95% less water is required to grow the same crops as compared to outdoor farming. When plants or crops are grown in vertical greenhouses, the transpiration process occurs, which makes it feasible for farmers to reuse the water for irrigation purposes. The chances of water wastage become minimal, and therefore, this method is helpful in resource conservation.


Restraint: High initial investments

The initial cost of the indoor farming setup is more compared to the investment required in traditional farming. One of the main factors responsible for the high investment is the cost of urban land, which is higher than that of farmland. Furthermore, energy accounts for a higher percentage of operating costs for both vertical farms and greenhouses. For instance, in vertical farming operations, lights run for 16 hours per day, while in greenhouses, light is applied to plants for 9 hours per day in winter.


Powering up a farmscraper for lights and controlling ambient temperatures involve high costs and are labor-intensive. Controlling the environment within buildings with regard to lighting, temperature, pollination, and the arrangement of plants is important for an ideal indoor farm. Farmers are required to make a high initial investment for the devices and equipment used for indoor farming. This is one of the major restraints for the indoor farming technology market.


Opportunity: Development of innovative and cost-effective technologies
Many technologies used in indoor farming do not have a long commercially proven record, and studies are still being conducted to ascertain the impact of these technologies on the shelf life of plants. Through research conducted at the Lighting Research Center (New York), the impact of LED lighting on plants was studied, and it showed positive results. However, the technology is in the introductory stage and requires improvements to become optimally beneficial and commercially viable.


New technologies need to be developed to decrease the carbon footprint in indoor farming. Growers are more interested in investing in technologies that would lower their costs invested in labor, as they are required on large-scale farms for monitoring, maintaining, supplying the nutrients, and harvesting. Hence, in the future, there is an opportunity to develop fully automated urban farms based on vertical farming and controlled environment agriculture.


Challenge: Lack of adequate funding


In many agriculture-related businesses, finding an investor is very difficult, and this might act as a challenge, thereby leading to fewer growers investing in indoor farming. Furthermore, limited funding slows down the pace of R&D for indoor farming in public institutions and universities, which, in turn, limits the availability of data and information, which would otherwise encourage cultivators to invest.


In the recent scenario, however, there are some sources of high funding available for players in the indoor farming technology market space. For instance, Aerofarms (US), one of the indoor farming players, raised USD 50 million from Goldman Sachs Group (US) and Prudential Financial, Inc. (US).


The increasing adoption of hydroponics and vertical farming systems in the Asia Pacific countries, drive the regions growth rate at a higher pace.
The Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest rate, as the demand for indoor farming technology has been growing in this region due to the increasing investment of overseas business lines in agricultural operations to exclusively meet the demands of the crop growers to attain export-quality crops. In addition, the farming industry in the Asia Pacific region has been shifting toward technological and innovative methods from a conventional agricultural practice system. These shifts lead to the modernization of crop management techniques to gain better premium value for the crops. There are numerous indoor farms in China, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and other such technologically advanced countries. China is estimated to account for the largest share in the Asia Pacific indoor farming technology market due to the increasing investments from several multinational manufacturers in R&D and the adoption of greenhouse farming for the production of certain crops. The restraining factor in the Asia Pacific market is the high initial cost required to set up these systems.
