North America Silo Bags Market Snapshot (2023 to 2033)

The North American silo bags market is estimated to be valued at about US$ 47.2 million in the current year 2023. As per the North America silo bags market analysis by FMI, it is projected to follow a CAGR of 5% until 2033. This analysis report further predicts the North America silo bags market value to reach up to US$ 76.9 million by the end of 2033.

Silo bags were commonly used as a temporary on-farm storage facility and have emerged as an alternative for large-size warehouses over the past few years. Silo bags provide a temporary storage solution for several agricultural produce at the farm location making them desirable for extensive supply chains. The rising demand of customers for convenience packaging and storage applications is driving the North America silo bags market.

The great demand for small silos, particularly 60m to 75m size silo bags drives the bulk silo bags market in North America. The study conducted by Future Market Insights estimates that the 60-meter and 75-meter lengths of silo bags cumulatively accounted for around 90% of the market share in 2022. Further, as per the market analysis report, these segments are projected to expand at a CAGR of 4.7% and 5.1% respectively through 2033.

The United States is expected to dominate the silo bags market in North America by its high share in the agricultural produce market. Additionally, during the past 20 years, the United States grain storage capacity has risen dramatically positively impacting the demand for silo bags.

The United States Food & Drug Administration estimates that the nation's grain storage capacity needs to be increased further after the advent of precision farming. Over the projection period, the demand for silo bags could grow substantially as a result of the rise in stockpiles of maize crops.

Besides food grains, animal feed and fertilizers are also required to be stored on the farm for their later use during the dry seasons. Investing in permanent storage facilities for animal feed, fertilizers, or other inferior goods often requires high capital expenditure. Hence, silage storage bags are now increasingly adopted by farmers in North America opening up new markets of silage bags for sale.

North America Silo Bags Market Historical Analysis (2018 to 2022) Vs. Forecast Outlook (2023 to 2033)

North American silo bags constituted around 21% to 24% of the global silo bags market worth, which was around US$ 36.5 million in 2018. In comparison to the forecasted CAGR, the North American silo bags market registered an average annual growth rate of 4.1% in the period between 2018 and 2022.

The demand for silo bags was negatively impacted to some extent during the years 2020 and 2021 as a result of the pandemic. Though the agriculture industry was least disrupted, however, the market growth was dampened because of the delays in the supply of agricultural produce. Reduced manpower in the manufacturing units also resulted in disruptions in the supply of silo bags in the North America region in 2020.

The silo bags market experienced a heightened growth rate in 2021 as the restriction and regulations were reduced in several parts of the region. The great focus on agriculture and associated industries in the following years rendered the silo bag manufacturers with better market opportunities.

How is the Growing Demand for Convenient Packaging Solution Driving the Silo Bags Market Growth?

The new generation of farmers expects features such as flexibility, low cost, high performance, and less space requirement instrumenting a new trend. It also has resulted in frequent innovation in packaging and creativity in the final shape of silo bags. Better material and design give farmers the ability to store the yield until a convenient time when the final delivery of grains is reached.

Various machines are now used to fill grains quickly in silo bags such as the rotor bagger machine due to technology up-gradation. The introduction of such modern machines for working well with silo bags is anticipated to favor the market key trends and opportunities.

Other baggers that are commonly used for convenient packaging are farm bagger hoppers and augers, grinder hoppers, and trucks with tunnels or truck baggers. The growing adoption of these bagger systems in North America is expected to drive the silo bags market growth during the forecast period.

Country-wise Insights

Silo Bag Manufacturers in the United States are Investing in Product Innovation

The demand for silo bags in the United States is way higher than in Canada owing to the presence of a huge commercial agricultural base. The United States is estimated to offer an excellent incremental opportunity of US$ 24.9 million to silo bag manufacturers in forthcoming years. As per the USA Department of Agriculture (USDA), agriculture and related industries cumulatively contributed to a 5.2% share of the USA GDP.

The significant growth of the organic agriculture industry in the United States is anticipated to strengthen the silo bags industry in the country. So most of the silo bag manufacturers in the country are spending on the development of eco-friendly or bio-degradable materials for the purpose. Furthermore, the recent federal regulations regarding curbing the use of polymer materials might play a crucial role in this endeavor of market players.

Regional Markets The United States Market
Market Share in 2022 83.7%
CAGR (2023 to 2033) 4.9%
Regional Markets Canada Market
Market Share in 2022 16.3%

Canada Holds Great Growth Opportunities than the United States for the Silo Bags Producers in North America

Back in the year 2022, the net worth of the total silo bags sold in Canada was around US$ 7 million. FMI estimates that Canada’s silo bags market might advance at a compound annual growth rate of 5.4% during the period 2023 to 2033.

According to the data published by the Government of Canada, the production of grains and oilseeds totaled 90,444 thousand tons in 2021. Further, the agricultural produce in the country was forecasted to witness an upward trend in the following years. This promising growth in the cultivation of grains is anticipated to generate huge market growth opportunities for silo bags in the country.
