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.

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.

Feed Phosphates Market Will Hit Big Revenues In Future

 Feed phosphates provide optimal growth, improve gut health, aid bone development and improve fertility in livestock. Rise in consumption of meat and dairy products and high threat of diseases in livestock are the factors driving the market. The Feed phosphates market is projected to reach 2.80 billion by 2024, from USD 2.25 billion in 2018, at a CAGR of 3.7%.

On the basis of type, the monocalcium phosphate segment is projected to grow at the highest rate from 2018 to 2024. Compared to other sources of phosphorus, MCP has some advantages such as neutralizing the harmful effects of a number of elements, such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium; and improving efficiency of carbohydrate, protein, fat, mineral, and energy metabolism in the body, due to which it is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

On the basis of livestock, the poultry segment is projected to form the fastest-growing market, during the forecast period. On a global level, the total poultry production has been increasing; with such growth in poultry production and consumption, it has become important for meat producers to focus more on quality. Poultry requires relatively large amounts of calcium and phosphorus for normal growth and skeletal development, which gives a boosts the consumption of feed phosphates.

Driver: High threat of diseases in livestock

The outbreak of diseases such as avian flu, BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy), and SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) not only affect livestock breeding and the economy, but also pose a serious threat to human health. The emergence of swine diarrhea in the US caused significant losses to swine farmers. Moreover, countries such as China, India, and Indonesia are constantly facing outbreaks of avian flu and swine flu, due to the hot and humid climatic conditions. Meat vendors, meat processors, wholesalers, retailers, and ultimately livestock growers suffer financial losses, due to the culling of disease-affected animals, which further lead to a drop in animal productivity. The usage of feed phosphates in such cases proved to be an effective medium to reduce such outbreaks by improving animal health with the provision of necessary nutrients. Calcium and phosphorus are two important macro-minerals required for the proper performance, growth, health, and production of livestock.

Restraint: Phytase – High Cost of Phosphates Driving the Demand for Substitutes

The high cost of phosphate salts, such as monocalcium and dicalcium phosphates, has led to the increase in the usage of substitutes such as phytase, which is lower in cost and can be used as a means of controlling the overall feed cost. According to Danisco Animal Nutrition (UK), the feed division of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (US), phytase is included in more than 90% of poultry diets and about 70% of swine diets. According to the same source, phytase has helped the feed industry to reduce feed input and nutritional costs by USD 2 billion per annum.
Apart from being comparatively cost-effective, the usage of phytase in feed has many advantages and fulfils various functionalities of feed phosphates, such as enhancing digestive processes, improving bone health, accentuating body weight, and breaking down indigestible phytic acid (found in grains and oilseeds), thus aiding the release of digestible phosphorus, calcium, and other nutrients that help the growth of animals. Further, phytase promotes higher feed intake when compared to feed phosphates, which help in the physical development of animals, leading to better performance.

Therefore, the market for feed phosphates is expected to experience a moderate growth rate, owing to a number of innovations that are expected to aid market production and supply. However, diversions in the consumption and usage of feed phosphates due to the advent of substitutes, such as phytase, are expected to disrupt the market growth during the forecast period.

Opportunity: Phosphorous Recovery from Fly Ash – Sustainable Sourcing of Phosphorous

Most companies in the feed phosphates market have similar kinds of products and use the same kind of production process to produce feed phosphate from phosphate rock, which is a finite resource. However, to ensure a sustainable supply of good quality phosphates for the feed industry, market players need to invest in their R&D and come up with innovative production processes and alternative sources of phosphorus. In recent years, there has been a significant number of innovations in phosphorus recovery technology. Various methods can be applied for phosphorus recovery, including chemical precipitation, biological phosphorus removal, crystallization, and novel chemical precipitation approach, the latest among them being the wet-chemical process using fly ash.

A number of efforts are undertaken to recycle the phosphorus contained in wastewater, sewage sludge as well as from the fly ash of incinerated sewage sludge. Such innovations in production processes and newer raw materials are likely to reduce the dependence on phosphate rock, thereby reducing feed phosphate prices. For instance, EcoPhos (Belgium) developed a wet-chemical process to recover phosphorus from fly ash. The company invested about USD 90 million to build a new animal feed-grade DCP production plant with an annual capacity of 220 KT. This plant incorporates the new process to treat ~50 to 60,000 MT of fly ash

Challenge: Toxicity of feed phosphates

Despite feed phosphates being used as a key component to maintain animal health and productivity, their usage above certain limits could be toxic to animals. For instance, excessive intake of phosphorus can interfere with both calcium and magnesium absorption. Excessive calcium intake by consuming dicalcium phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, mono-dicalcium phosphate, and tricalcium phosphate can lead to osteopetrosis, vertebral ankyloses, and degenerative osteoarthritis in cattle. It also results in reduced feed intake, resulting in lower milk yields in cattle. However, because mineral deficiencies in animals are more common occurrences in comparison to toxicities, there is a general tendency to easily exceed minimum animal requirements. In such cases, it becomes imperative to determine if dietary mineral concentrations exceed the maximum tolerance levels of the cattle. Mineral toxicities, which could be a result of excessive consumption of feed or water, may then have significant degrading effects on animal health and performance.
