Food-grade gas manufacturers find attractive opportunities for growth in the emerging economies of the Asia Pacific and South America. Due to the rising demand for frozen and packaged food products by the youth in these regions, the demand for food-grade gases is witnessing growth. Also, due to the developing retail channels and cold chain infrastructure and rise in disposable incomes and the number of working women, there has been a growing demand for convenience food products in these regions, which, in turn, results in an increased demand for food-grade gases. Also, because of the continuous new product launches and advancements in packaging technologies, there has been a growing need for food-grade gases for various end uses.

Challenges: Need to provide right mixture of gases in controlled environment packaging

The need to provide the right mix of gases in controlled environment packaging technologies such as modified atmosphere packaging and active packaging is a key challenge faced by packaging technology equipment manufacturers. For example, ready-to-eat meals contain a complex mixture of ingredients that require the right mix of different gases to prolong their shelf-life; MAP packaging includes providing the right mix of gases in the packaging. The gases used in MAP include oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. For example, in the packaging of meat products, the mix of 20% carbon dioxide and 80% oxygen is a good proportion that balances the attractive colour of meat and increases the visual appeal; any discrepancy otherwise can deteriorate the product quality.

Technological Advancements for Gas Sensors is one of the Major Trends

Toxic gas sensors play an important role in food production and control. Therefore, researchers have recently devoted significant attention to various gas sensing materials to achieve high-performance gas sensors. The prospects for the use of sensor technology in food production and monitoring are: (1) Development of simple sensors that operate at low temperatures and preferably Real time to save energy consumed during the monitoring process and the lifespan of the sensing material and accordingly, (2) the design of high-precision sensors to monitor the strategic stock of foodstuffs, especially C2H4 gas, to monitor the quality of stored fruits and vegetables and control their ripening. Researchers are interested in obtaining improvements in the sensitivity, selectivity, limit of detection, and operating temperature using a new mixture of nanomaterials that display different shapes.

Growth Strategies Adopted by Major Players in the Nematicide Market

The nematicide market is projected to reach USD 3.0 billion by 2027, recording a CAGR of 9.9% during the forecast period. The global industry is estimated to be valued at USD 1.9 billion in 2022. Nematodes are non-segmented, bilaterally symmetric worm-like invertebrates that lack respiratory and circulatory systems but have a body cavity and a fully functional digestive system. It is difficult to create chemical countermeasures against worms that infests plants. It is challenging to administer a chemical to a nematode's immediate surroundings since most Phyto-parasitic nematodes spend their whole lives isolated to the soil or inside plant roots.

Drivers: Economic damage such as crop production losses which leads to monetary losses, caused by Phyto parasitic nematodes continues to maintain the interest of private and public research institutes

According to CropLife India, food crops are damaged by more than 10,000 species of insects, 30,000 species of weeds, 100,000 diseases (caused by fungi, viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms), and 1,000 species of nematodes, globally. The losses caused need to be contained to meet the food requirements to keep crop production from stagnating.

According to the FAO, approximately 20%–40% of crop yield is lost every year due to pest infestation. Crop pests include fungi, bacteria, viruses, insects, nematodes, viroid, and oomycetes. The diversity of crop pests continues to expand, and new strains are continually evolving. The effect of global warming would increase pest infestation further, as most of them thrive in warmer climates. Losses of major crops due to fungi, nematodes, and other such microorganisms are also on the rise. The study suggests that these figures would increase due to an increase in global temperatures, increased cropping intensity, and reduced crop rotations; this will lead to an increased demand for crop protection products such as nematicides.

Opportunities: Providing customized solutions targeted toward specific pests

With the growing environmental and pollution concerns and health hazards from many conventional agrochemicals, the demand for natural biologicals is rising steadily across regions. Customers are witnessing a high demand for new biological products such as bionematicides to use against nematodes on standing crops, which cause crop damages, thereby reducing the overall farm yield and quality. One such innovative method is seed treatment, which is gaining traction due to its less or non-toxic nature, reduced cost of cultivation, and favourable effect on the yield and quality of crops. Moreover, seed treatment is targeted toward the desired pests and improve efficiency in nutrient uptake.

Organic acid-based plant extract biocontrol is one of the major trends

Various key players and start-ups are focusing on developing bionematicides through alternate sources which were previously unexplored. A variety of organic acids, including amino, acetic, butyric, formic, and propionic acids have been shown to be toxic to certain species of plant parasitic nematodes. These are either the result of microbial decomposition of various compounds in the soil or metabolites produced by microorganisms. Several acids, including heptalic acid and hydroxamic acid, have been used successfully against nematodes.
