A Summary of the Rice Processing Machine Market Developments (2023 to 2033)

The global rice processing machine market is projected to have a slow-paced CAGR of 2.3% during the forecast period. The current valuation of the market is USD 1,176.43 million in 2023. The market value of the rice processing machine market is anticipated to reach a high of USD 1,476.81 million by the year 2033. A historical market valuation of USD 1,149.98 million has been recorded by the experts of Future Market Insights for the concerned market during the base year.

This growth is supported by the following:

  • Spike in demand for rice with the rising global population has led to many kinds of rice processing plants, opening new rice mills and boosting the market growth for rice processing machines.
  • The growth of the agriculture industry, coupled with the increased end-user application of rice and the industrialization rate, is ceding a silver lining to the market.
  • Rice processing machines are a part of post-harvest management technology, which is having high demand in the agriculture industry.
  • The inclination of consumers towards clean and packaged rice is anticipated to further fuel the expansion of the rice processing machine market.
  • Rice processing plants are majorly focused on increasing the shelf-life of rice, which is likely to exert a positive influence on the overall market growth during the forecast period.
  • Processed or milled rice stays fresh for much longer periods than un-milled varieties when stored under suitable conditions like avoiding exposure to moisture and air, a key factor bolstering market dynamics for rice processing machines.

Although the market has healthy growth, it has been analyzed by the experts at Future Market Insights that certain aspects are likely to hinder the pace of advancement in the long run.

These curbing elements are as follows:

  • Processed rice tends to remove nutrition, including fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The nutrient proximate such as energy, protein, carbohydrate, sugar, calcium, iron, sodium, and fatty acids are also lesser in processed rice in comparison to unprocessed variants. This factor acts as a major challenge in impeding the growth of the market.
  • Huge initial costs involved, along with crop failure and shortage of warehouses, are some other aspects impeding the growth of the rice processing machines market during the period 2023 to 2033.
