Seed Industry Processing Equipment Market Outlook - 2027
The agriculture sector is considered to be the one of the most important sectors in various countries across the globe. Agriculture is the income source for many people in the world. Production of seed is one the most important and basic process in agriculture. Without producing good-quality seeds, crops cannot be produced. After the harvesting process, seeds are formed. Seed in the raw form contain some undesirable particles such as dirt, clods, stones, and trash. These undesirable particles are removed so that further processes can be carried out on the seed.
COVID-19 scenario analysis:
- The demand for seed industry processing equipment is expected to decrease in 2020 due to low demand from the agriculture industry, owing to the lockdown imposed by governments of many countries.
- COVID-19 pandemic has shut-down the production of various products in the seed industry processing equipment industry, mainly owing to the prolonged lockdown in major global countries. This has hampered the growth of the seed industry processing equipment market significantly from the last few months and is likely to continue during 2020.
- COVID-19 has already affected the sales of equipment and machinery in the first quarter of 2020 and is likely to cause a negative impact on the market growth throughout the year.
- The major demand for equipment and machinery was previously noticed from giant manufacturing countries, including the U.S., Germany, Italy, the UK, and China, which have been badly affected by the spread of coronavirus, thereby halting the demand for equipment and machinery.
- Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on their cash reserves. Equipment and machinery companies can afford a full lockdown only for a few months, after which the players would have to modify their investment plans.
- Equipment and machinery manufacturers must focus to protect their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond to immediate crises and find new ways of working after COVID-19 infection cases start to decrease.
Top impacting factors: Market scenario analysis, trends, drivers, and impact analysis
Seed processing is an integral part of the process of making good-quality seeds. By performing proper seed processing, customers get the seed of high quality as it is processed without any adulteration. Processing of seed involves different processes such as storage, packaging, seed treatment, drying, and cleaning. Various machines or equipment are used to perform the processing of seed such as quality testing, pre-cleaning, and drying. These machines or equipment are generally known as seed processing equipment.
Various equipment, such as polishers, graders, separators, elevator, cleaner, and aspirator, are used in the processing of seeds. Seed processing equipment is mainly used to regain the quality standard of seeds. There are various operations, which are performed during grading, cleaning, debearding, and scalping. The equipment used for seed processing possess the ability of changing the quality, shape, and the size of the seed product to increase the seed production. Advantages of processing of seeds include healthy & insect-free seeds, uniform emergence, long shelf life, high yield, good visual appearance, and enhanced productivity. Moreover, the operation of seed processing equipment is not costly.
Specific gravity separation is the most commonly used method for separation of seeds. In specific gravity separation method, a combination of surface characteristics and weight of the seed to be separated is used. The floatation principle is used in the specific gravity separation method.
Furthermore, the agriculture sector is considered to be one of the most important sectors across the world. Many countries import and export various agricultural products. As the population in different countries is increasing, the demand for food is also increasing. Seed processing is the key process to grow crops. Therefore, this could be the key driving factor for the growth of the seed industry processing equipment market.
Moreover, Asia-Pacific is considered to be an important region for the growth of the seed industry processing equipment market. As population in some countries, such as China and India, is increasing rapidly, the demand for agriculture products is also rising. Therefore, the key players in the seed industry processing equipment market look toward India and China as the key countries for investments.
Key restraining factors for the growth of the seed industry processing equipment market
Many companies are using technologically advanced seed processing machines or equipment for their operation. However, the cost of these machines is relatively high compared to the old machines. Therefore, this factor is expected to restrain the companies to use advanced seed processing machines.
