Grain Processing Equipment Market Report 2026

The grain processing equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.47 billion in 2025 to $5.77 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of agricultural production, growth in food processing industry, demand for efficient grain handling, increase in animal feed production, mechanization of farming operations.

The grain processing equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.06 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation of food processing plants, investments in large-scale milling facilities, rising global food demand, adoption of smart processing equipment, focus on reducing post-harvest losses. Major trends in the forecast period include automation of grain processing operations, rising adoption of energy-efficient machinery, demand for high-capacity processing equipment, integration of digital control systems, focus on food safety and quality control.

Increasing demand in the food and beverage industry is expected to drive the growth of the grain processing equipment market going forward. The food and beverage industry encompasses the production, processing, distribution, and sale of food and drink products. Grain processing equipment is widely used in this industry for functions such as milling and grinding, cleaning and sorting, drying and roasting, and packing, as it enables the efficient and safe conversion of raw grains into various food and beverage products. For instance, in December 2024, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), an Italy-based intergovernmental organization for food and agriculture statistics, global wheat exports reached 199.1 million tonnes in 2023, an increase of 8.1 million tonnes compared to 2022. Therefore, growing demand in the food and beverage sector is driving the grain processing equipment market.

Major companies in the grain processing equipment market are creating innovative products, such as grain handling equipment, to satisfy the increasing demand for high-quality grain processing while minimizing waste and downtime. Grain handling products are designed to preserve grain quality, reduce losses, and enhance efficiency in bulk handling. Their main purpose is to improve operational efficiency, safety, and storage capacity in large-scale grain operations. For example, in March 2023, Mathews Co., a US-based manufacturer of agricultural equipment, introduced bucket elevators and distributors. The bucket elevator is constructed with heavy-gauge welded and hot-dip galvanized materials, featuring high-quality components from well-respected industry partners. Similarly, the distributor boasts a sturdy welded design, also hot-dip galvanized, and includes a large access door for maintenance, along with a mounting port for an optional blower to control dust. Both products offer an optional maintenance platform and various control options to enhance performance. These products reflect M-C's long-standing commitment to "Iron Horse Quality," a standard upheld in their grain dryer line for nearly 70 years.

In May 2023, Degelman Industries LP, a Canada-based manufacturer of agricultural and industrial equipment, acquired Renn Mill Center Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Degelman gains access to Renn Mill Center’s grain-processing and grain-storage equipment designs, manufacturing capabilities, and global dealer network, expanding Degelman’s product line and strengthening its presence in the grain-handling sector while enhancing operational scale and diversity. Renn Mill Center Inc. is a Canada-based company recognized for designing and manufacturing high-quality grain processing systems and storage solutions, with a strong reputation in global distribution and specialization in grain-handling equipment.
