Grain Silos and Storage System Market Report 2026

The grain silos and storage system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.8 billion in 2025 to $1.92 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in global grain production, rising need for safe bulk storage, expansion of commercial grain trade, increased adoption of metal silos, early modernization of storage infrastructure.

The grain silos and storage system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.5 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for climate-resilient storage, expansion of large-scale grain logistics networks, rising investments in automated storage solutions, increasing focus on reducing post-harvest losses, growth in commercial agriculture operations. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for large-capacity storage systems, increasing adoption of modular and portable silos, growing use of grain silos in commercial trade hubs, expansion of multi-commodity storage infrastructure, greater focus on moisture and pest control technologies.

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.

In November 2024, American Industrial Partners, a U.S.-based industrial investor and provider of investment management across industrial manufacturing, logistics, metals & mining, transportation, and other heavy end-markets, acquired AGCO Corporation’s Grain & Protein division for approximately US $700 million in an all-cash transaction. Through this acquisition, American Industrial Partners strengthens its industrial manufacturing portfolio and expands into large-scale agriculture equipment and protein production systems, aiming to accelerate the division’s growth and capture efficiencies in storage, seed-processing, and protein-production equipment. AGCO Corporation’s Grain & Protein division was a U.S.-based provider of grain storage and seed-processing solutions as well as feeding, watering, climate-management, and control systems for global protein production (poultry, swine, egg).

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on steel, metals, construction materials, and imported machinery components are increasing manufacturing and installation costs for grain silos and storage systems, particularly impacting agriculture-dependent regions in North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. Segments such as steel silos, metal silos, and large-capacity flat-bottom silos are most affected due to high material usage. While tariffs create cost pressures and extend project timelines, they also stimulate domestic fabrication, strengthen regional supply chains, and support localized innovation in alternative storage materials and structural designs.

This grain silos and storage system market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the 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.North America was the largest region in the grain silos and storage system market in 2025.
