These are usually constructed in modules of a drying chamber, a source of heat (usually a burner driven by diesel, gas, or biomass), an air circulation fan, and a control panel, which are placed on a sturdy chassis with wheels to easily transport it.

COVID-19 IMPACT:

Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic due to Restrictions on Travel

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The torrent of the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic entered this market, although the main reason for it is caused by breakdowns at most supply chains in the world. Restrictions on travel, shutdowns of factories, and lockdowns greatly hindered the production of the necessary components and raw materials, which caused long delays in the production and delivery of these machines. This caused longer delivery periods and higher expenses for manufacturers, who in turn transferred most of these costs to farmers. The agricultural sector, which is already prone to changes in labor supply, hit critical levels when migrant laborers went back to their home countries or could not travel back because of restrictions.

LATEST TRENDS

Intelligent Technology to Propel Market Growth

The current trends in this market are significant changes due to the development of technology, as well as the increased focus on efficiency and sustainability. One outstanding trend is the rising involvement of automation and intelligent technology along the line of sophisticated control systems, distant surveillance, and data analysis. These inventions enable agriculturalists to maximize the drying activities, achieve a uniform grain quality, and save a lot of energy. There is a high demand for energy-efficient models, which use enhanced air flow and drying chamber design to reflect good environmental sustainability and reduce operational costs.

MOBILE GRAIN DRYER MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Diesel Gil & Gas Fuel

• Diesel Gil: The market leader segment is very high in terms of its fuel efficiency, reliability, and tough performance, mostly in higher-performance agriculture applications. They can survive the high loads and give constant firepower; hence, diesel engines have a stable power that can be run continuously in different field conditions where there may be no constant electricity.

• Gas-Fueled: These are gas-fired dryers that take propane or natural gas as the primary fuel source. Dryers running on gases tend to have a cleaner exhaust than diesel and, in some cases, can provide a more traceable, easily regulated heat source.

By End User

Based on end user the market can be categorized into Cereals Drying, Pulses Drying & Oil Seeds Drying

• Drying of Cereals: It is the largest segment because cereals such as paddy, wheat, corn, barley, and sorghum are staple food crops in most of the world and in such large-scale quantities. Cereals need to be dried with efficiency to avoid spoilage, maintain quality products and food security, and this has caused a huge demand for these grain dryers in key cereal-producing areas.

• Pulses Drying: It will be dedicated to the drying of different pulses, including lentils, chickpeas, beans, and peas. Pulses are also becoming increasingly popular since they have nutritional value and can help in sustainable farming. Although the drying requirement of pulses may be slightly varied compared to that of cereals, mobile dryers present the flexibility required by farmers who grow the pulses and provide preservation and value of the produced product in the market.

• Oil Seed Drying: Is related to the drying of oil seeds such as soybeans, sunflowers, canola, and groundnuts. The oil content of oil seeds is usually high, in addition to special drying needs to avoid the degradation mode and keep oil quality. These grain dryers to be used on oil seeds are also installed with features that can address their special qualities and thus able to dry in the best way possible without damaging the oil content, which is valued.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Driving Factors

Rising Demand of the Effective Post-Harvest Grain Handling and Loss Prevention to Drive the Market Advancement

One of the major driving factors of the Mobile Grain Dryer Market growth is the Rising Demand of the Effective Post-Harvest Grain Handling and Loss Prevention. As the world population is continuously increasing, the demand for food and feed grains is also increasing consistently. This places an enormous strain on agricultural output, and effective handling of the output after harvest is significant to reduce losses. When the moisture content is high in grains harvested, they will be spoilt very quickly as molds will grow, insects will infest them, and the quality and market value will greatly be reduced.

Technological Advancements in Drying Performance and Automation to Premium Looks to Expand the Market

To a great extent, the continuing innovations in the sphere of dryer performance and user-friendliness boost this market. Contemporary mobile dryers are tending to integrate even more sophisticated controller units and remove surveillance and clever sensors, which intensify drying environments. Use of this automation lowers human labor and results in uniform and consistent drying and control over temperature and airflow that results in improved grain quality and energy savings.

Restraining Factor

High Cost of Acquisition to the Market Growth

Among the most profound restraining factors to this market, especially in developing agricultural economies are the high cost of acquisition and the economic disincentives to the small and marginal farmers. These grain dryers do have a significant value in terms of minimizing postharvest losses and increasing the quality of the grain, but the cost of purchase, which can vary between a few lakhs and even a crore and above INR based on size and facilities, may be a big financial load to the individual farmers or even a small group of farmers.

Custom Hiring Centers to Pose Potential Opportunities to the Market Growth

Opportunity

The large opportunity factor on this market, is a tremendous growth of Custom Hiring Centers (CHCs) and Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and their subsequent governmental support.

The Indian government has paid serious attention to the formation of CHCs and FPOs because of the great financial price of high initial investments experienced by every individual small and marginal farmer.

Poor Rural Infrastructure to the Market Growth

Challenge

The poor rural infrastructure as well as logistic challenges constituted one of the key issues that affect this industry, especially in areas such as West Bengal, India, adversely.

Although these dryers are mobile in nature, it is always a challenge to effectively implement them and embrace them due to poorly built and maintained roads in the countryside or lack of such roads, especially at harvesting time and during harvesting periods when bad weather patterns may render unpaved roads unusable.
