Grain Silos and Storage System Market Report 2025

The grain silos and storage system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.69 billion in 2024 to $1.79 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to population growth and food demand, modernization of agriculture practices, government initiatives for food security, increased global trade of grains, climate change concerns, expansion of agribusiness.

The grain silos and storage system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.31 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to urbanization and land use changes, renewable energy integration, global efforts for sustainable agriculture, resilience to climate change impacts, rise in vertical farming practices. Major trends in the forecast period include the adoption of IoT and sensor technologies, aeration systems for grain quality, automation and digitization in silo operations, grain management software, customization for specialty grains, and energy-efficient storage solutions.

The anticipated rise in crop consumption is set to drive the growth of the grain silos and storage system market in the future. Crops, including grains, vegetables, and fruits cultivated on a large scale, are witnessing increased demand due to the rapid growth in the global population. The higher consumption of crops leads to heightened grain production and storage, consequently fueling the expansion of the grain silos and storage system market. For example, a report from the Food and Agriculture Organization in April 2023 highlighted the global wheat utilization increase from approximately 762 million tons in 2020/2021 to around 773 million tons in 2021/2022, with an anticipated further rise to 780 million tons in 2022/2023. Hence, the surge in crop consumption is a pivotal factor propelling the growth of the grain silos and storage system market.

The growth of the grain silos and storage system market is expected to be driven by the increasing global population. As the world's population continues to rise, reaching an estimated 26 million in Australia in 2022 and projected to expand to between 34.3 and 45.9 million by 2071, the demand for larger food supplies is escalating. This necessitates investments in the expansion and modernization of grain silos and storage systems to meet the growing food requirements. With Australia experiencing an annual growth rate of 2.2% in 2022 and an additional quarterly growth rate of 0.7% in 2023, the increasing population is set to be a major driver for the growth of the grain silos and storage system market.

Major companies in the grain silos and storage system market are leveraging advanced technologies, such as grain handling robots, to enhance their profitability. These robotic systems automate various tasks in agriculture and food industries, including tasks related to grain storage, bin management, optimization of storage conditions, and inventory level monitoring. For instance, Crover, a Scotland-based agricultural technology firm, introduced an innovative robot in April 2023 designed to navigate bulk stacks of crops, ensuring optimal grain storage conditions. The robot, equipped with moisture and temperature sensors, assists in monitoring and preserving the quality of stored crops, offering real-time insights to grain aggregators. This technological advancement has the potential to revolutionize grain storage and management, contributing to reduced waste and improved crop yields.

Major companies in the grain silos and storage system market are focusing on plant expansion projects featuring larger storage structures such as hopper bottom silos (HBS-S) to enhance their market profitability. Hopper Bottom Silos (HBS-S) are specialized structures used for storing bulk materials, particularly grains and granular products. For instance, SIMEZA, a Spain-based company specializing in manufacturing storage silos, announced plans to construct one of Europe's largest Hopper Bottom Silos (HBS-S) in October 2023. This state-of-the-art facility will have four HBS-S model silos with a total storage capacity of 12,000 tons of cereal. The project aims to meet the increasing demand for storage solutions in agriculture and industry.

Grain silos and storage systems are structures specifically designed for the bulk storage of grain and other materials such as cement, calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide, activated carbon, plastic resins, and more. These systems are commonly employed by agricultural industries to store large quantities of bulk grain.

The primary types of grain silos and storage systems include flat-bottom silos, hopper silos, grain bins, and others. Flat-bottom silos represent a type of storage structure widely used in agriculture for bulk storage of grains, oilseeds, and various other agricultural products. They find application in storing commodities such as rice, maize, wheat, soybeans, sunflowers, and others. These silos are further categorized into different product types, such as steel silos and metal silos, and serve diverse applications in both agricultural and commercial settings.
