The agricultural food loss reduction solutions market is poised for substantial growth, according to a recent report added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offerings. Valued at USD 14.50 billion in 2025, the market is projected to reach USD 22.50 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. This growth is driven by increasing global concerns about food security, sustainability, and the need for resource efficiency in the agricultural sector.
The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market, including key drivers, restraints, challenges, and opportunities. It highlights the critical role that advanced technologies play in reducing food loss, from cold chain logistics and improved storage solutions to precision agriculture and AI-enabled inventory management. These innovations are particularly impactful in developing regions, where food loss is often exacerbated by poor infrastructure. In contrast, developed economies are focusing on scaling automation and digital platforms to optimize food distribution.
One of the significant segments within this market is cereals and grains, which is expected to dominate due to high post-harvest losses. According to data from the International Journal of Agriculture Sciences in 2022, crops such as sorghum, mustard, and pigeon pea experience considerable losses, averaging between 10% and over 15%. This segment presents a strong opportunity for stakeholders to develop targeted interventions, such as improved storage infrastructure and mechanized post-harvest technologies.
Sensor-based technologies are also expected to hold a significant market share. These systems, including radar level sensors and IoT-enabled devices, are crucial for real-time monitoring and early detection of spoilage. A case study from February 14, 2025, demonstrated the effectiveness of these technologies, with a farm implementing Jiwei’s Smart Grain Bin Level Sensors achieving a 30% reduction in grain loss. This highlights the broader industry shift towards data-driven farming practices.
North America is currently the largest market for agricultural food loss reduction solutions, driven by strong private-sector participation and government funding. Innovations such as AI-enabled freshness tracking and advanced cold chains are reinforcing the region’s dominance. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest growth, supported by rising food demand and government-backed initiatives to expand cold chain infrastructure.
The report also delves into the competitive landscape, providing insights into the market shares, growth strategies, and product offerings of leading players such as Lineage, Inc., Americold, and AgroFresh. It explores the impact of generative AI on the market, highlighting how AI-driven demand forecasting and other technological innovations are enhancing efficiency and reducing food loss.
Overall, the report offers valuable information for market leaders and new entrants, helping them understand the competitive landscape and plan suitable go-to-market strategies. It serves as a crucial resource for stakeholders looking to navigate the evolving agricultural food loss reduction solutions market.
