The fruit segment is projected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period.

The fruit segment, by crop type, is projected to grow at the highest CAGR, in terms of value, during the forecast period. Fruits are highly perishable in nature and are required to be treated with post-harvest solutions to increase their shelf life for longer storage duration and easy transport of these products. Increasing application of natural flavors in the food and beverages industry is also encouraging the trade of fruits, which in turn, has led to a surge in demand for post-harvest treatment solutions in the major fruits and vegetable producing region such as Asia Pacific.

By type, the coatings segment is estimated to account for the largest share in 2019 in the post-harvest treatment market.
Coatings are one of the methods to increase the shelf life of products and decrease the quality and quantity losses. They are mostly applied to fruits & vegetables during the packaging process for maintaining their softness, color, odor, and flavor. The development of edible coatings has made it easier for fruits and vegetable processors to use the produce without any concerns about their harmful effects. Edible coatings help to prevent unnecessary softening and ripening of fruits & vegetables. Coatings form an integral part of the post-harvest treatment process, as fruits & vegetables are stored for longer periods, thereby making it important to maintain their shelf life and quality.

The Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR in the post-harvest treatment market during the forecast period due to the increasing demand for exotic fruits and vegetables from the developed regions. Countries such as India and China are the major producers of fresh fruits and vegetables, which is exported across the globe. This presents profitable opportunities for manufacturers in the post-harvest treatment market in the region.

Latest Regulatory Trends Impacting the Biofortification Market

The report Biofortification Market by Crop (Sweet Potato, Cassava, Rice, Corn, Wheat, Beans, and Pearl Millet), Target Nutrient (Zinc, Iron, and Vitamins), and Region (Latin America, Africa, and Asia Pacific) – Global Forecast to 2023 “, is estimated at USD 78 million in 2018, and it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2018 to reach USD 118 million by 2023. Biofortified crops are usually sweet potato, cassava, rice, corn, wheat, beans, pearl millet, and other crops such as tomato, banana, sorghum, and barley. The growth of the biofortification market is driven by the rising demand for high nutritional content in food.

By crop, the biofortified sweet potato is projected to dominate the biofortification market during the forecast period.

The sweet potato segment is estimated to hold the largest share of the biofortified crop market in 2018. The demand for biofortified crops such as sweet potato and cassava has increased with the rising technological advancements to increase the nutrient content, particularly in orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP). Sweet potato has been an important source of energy in the human diet for centuries owing to its high carbohydrate content. However, its vitamin A content from carotene only became recognized over the past century. Using biofortification, sweet potato breeding in Africa is focused on higher yields, sweeter taste, and higher dry matter, which increase its carotene concentration.


By target nutrient, the vitamins segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the biofortification market during the forecast period.

On the basis of target nutrient, the biofortification market is segmented into iron, zinc, vitamins, and others. The vitamins segment is the fastest-growing target nutrient in the biofortification market from 2018 to 2023.

Growth Opportunities in the Feed Premix Market

The global Feed Premix Market size is estimated to be valued at USD 24.3 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach a value of USD 32.9 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. The growth of this market is attributed to the increasing demand for meat and meat products across the globe.


COVID-19 Impact on the Feed premix:

COVID-19 impact on the feed premix is low to moderately affected.  However, the rising health concerns and fears associated with the consumption of animal meat due to the COVID-19 outbreak are projected to increase market prospects. The feed premixes aid in boosting the immunity of animals; hence, the addition of such nutritional additives in the feed will lead to an increase in demand for feed premixes. Countries across regions are coping with the impacts of COVID-19, which thus causes the feed premixes market to be projected to grow at a much lower rate in the coming years.

Restraint: Ban on antibiotics in different countries


Antibiotics have been used in feed for decades; however, in 2006, the European Union (EU) banned the use of antibiotics in feed as growth promoters, as microbes developed resistance to antibiotics, which are used to treat human and animal infections. Following the ban by the EU, the use of antibiotics declined in many countries around the globe, especially in countries such as China, India, and the US, due to their overexploitation or misuse.

Restriction on the use of antibiotics, as a growth promoter in feed, in many countries, forced companies to stop using antibiotics in feed premixes. This acts as a major restraint for manufacturers that offer antibiotic-based feed premixes.

Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing market during the forecast period in the global Feed premix


The key markets in the Asia Pacific region include China, India, Japan, Australia & New Zealand, Thailand, Vietnam, others, and the Rest of Asia Pacific.

The Asia Pacific region accounted for the largest share of 35.6% of the global feed premix market in 2020, in terms of value. The market in the region is driven by the presence of a large livestock population

(FAO 2016) and their growth rate. Furthermore, the region has witnessed an increase in the number of feed mills and feed production, particularly in India and Japan. This increase in the number of feed mills in the region reflects the growth in feed production. According to the Alltech Feed Survey of 2018, the region experienced a 7% increase in its feed production, from 356.5 million tons in 2012 to 381.1 million tons in 2017. The largest feed producer, China, contributes significantly to the region’s leading position, with Thailand and Indonesia being the emerging feed-producing countries, while India and Japan are demonstrating constant growth in feed production. According to the same source, among the top 20 feed companies in the world, 16 of them are based in the Asia Pacific region, which makes this a highly competitive market.

Nematicides Market to Witness Unprecedented Growth in Coming Years

The report Nematicides Market by Type (Fumigants, Carbamates, Organophosphates, Bionematicides), Mode of Application (Fumigation, Drenching, Soil Dressing, Seed Treatment), Nematode Type (Root Knot, Cyst), Crop Type, Form, and Region - Global Forecast to 2025 " The global nematicides market size is estimated to be valued at USD 1.3 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach a value of USD 1.6 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period. Factors such as the growing demand for biological products and increasing number of product launches catering to the requirement of crop-specific nematodes drive the growth of the market.   



Nematicides infestation is difficult to detect, is often attributed to other causes and its damage is often underestimated. Massive phase-out of active ingredients used to control nematodes such as methyl bromide and aldicarb would also drive for the adoption of new innovative control measures. Growing environmental concerns associated with the use of chemicals to control nematodes have paved way for the adoption of biological control. New farming practices such as no-tillage, and reduced tillage farming, along with increased soil degradation leading to decreased efficacy have resulted in an increase in the infesatation of nematodes. These trends are expected to increase the demand for nematicides, globally.
