Rice Polisher Global Market Report 2024

The rice polisher market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.3 billion in 2023 to $1.37 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to economic growth in rice-producing regions, the mechanization of agriculture, improvements in rice quality standards, an increase in rice consumption, and the modernization of rice mills.

The rice polisher market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.65 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a focus on quality and consistency, efforts toward automation and efficiency, market demand for premium rice, investments in modern rice mills, and precision polishing techniques for different rice varieties. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the implementation of smart maintenance and predictive analysis, a focus on user-friendly interfaces, the establishment of rice processing automation lines, advancements in polishing techniques, and the integration of mobile and remote monitoring capabilities.

The anticipated increase in rice consumption is set to drive the growth of the rice polishers market in the coming years. Rice polishers play a crucial role in the rice processing chain within mills, refining raw harvested rice into polished white rice suitable for consumption. According to the United States Department of Agriculture's data from October 2021, global rice production reached 510.7 million tons in 2021, with rice consumption rising to 512 million tons. This upswing in rice consumption is a key factor propelling the expansion of the rice polishers market.

The growth of the rice polishers market is further fueled by the expanding scope of agriculture. Agricultural expansion involves increasing cultivated land or intensifying agricultural activities to meet the rising demand for food and other agricultural products. Rice polishers contribute to enhancing the commercial viability of rice production and processing, potentially encouraging the expansion of agricultural endeavors. Notably, recent data from the United States Department of Agriculture indicates a 4% increase in corn cultivation in the United States, reaching 92.0 million acres in 2023. Additionally, wheat planted area in the same period increased by 9% to 49.9 million acres. Agricultural expansion is also evident in the United Kingdom, where the area used for wheat cultivation rose by 0.8% to nearly 1.7 million hectares in 2022. This increased agricultural activity is a driving force behind the growth of the rice polishers market.

The rice polisher market faces a significant restraint in the form of crop failure. Rice polishers are integral to the rice milling industry, and any disruption in the rice supply chain due to crop failure significantly impacts the market. For instance, a forecasted 2% year-over-year decline in global rice production in October 2022, coupled with drought conditions affecting China, the largest rice producer and consumer, points to potential challenges for the rice polisher market. Crop failure diminishes the availability of raw rice material, impacting the production capacity of rice mills and leading to reduced demand for rice polishing equipment.

The high cost associated with rice polishing machines poses a challenge to the market's growth. These specialized machines involve substantial investments in manufacturing and maintenance, acting as a barrier for small-scale rice millers or farmers with limited financial resources. In 2023, rice polishing machines are priced between $100 and $150,000 per set, catering to diverse budget needs. The high cost of these machines hinders the growth of the rice polisher market, particularly for smaller players in the industry.

Major companies in the rice polishers market are strategically focusing on innovative technologies to drive market revenues. Integrated intelligent solutions, encompassing technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT), are at the forefront of these innovations. For example, Bühler Holding AG launched integrated rice mills in March 2021, incorporating machine learning and artificial intelligence to create a single intelligent system for rice mills. This system covers various production steps, including pre-cleaning, storage, drying, rice hulling, polishing, and optical sorting, showcasing the industry's commitment to cutting-edge technologies.
