Grain Storage Facilities Market Report 2026

The grain storage facilities market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.79 billion in 2025 to $1.9 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in global grain harvesting, rising demand for bulk storage solutions, expansion of agricultural infrastructure, increasing grain export activities, early adoption of metal silos.

The grain storage facilities market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.47 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing need for climate-protected storage, rising investments in large-scale farm operations, expansion of grain logistics networks, increasing emphasis on reducing spoilage losses, growth in food security initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of large-scale storage facilities, increasing use of temperature and moisture control systems, expansion of grain storage capacity in exporting regions, rising demand for long-term preservation solutions, greater focus on pest-resistant storage materials.

The increasing crop consumption is expected to drive the growth of the grain storage facilities market going forward. Crop consumption is rising due to shifting dietary patterns, economic development, efforts to improve food security, agricultural innovations, expanded use of crops for biofuels and industrial applications, and the effects of climate change. Grain storage facilities support this rising consumption by preserving grain quality and availability over time, reducing post-harvest losses, stabilizing market prices, and ensuring a steady year-round food supply to enable efficient distribution to consumers. For example, in July 2025, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), a France-based international organization, global cereal consumption is projected to grow by 1.1% per year, reaching 1.28 billion tonnes by 2034. Similarly, global cereal production is expected to rise by 1.1% annually to 3.2 billion tonnes by 2034, with most of the increase attributed to higher yields rather than expanded harvested areas. Therefore, the rise in crop consumption is fueling the growth of the grain storage facilities market.

Leading companies in the grain storage facilities market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as innovative grain monitoring technologies, to boost operational efficiency and maintain the quality of stored grains. Grain monitoring solutions involve advanced systems designed to continuously track and manage conditions such as temperature and moisture to prevent spoilage and optimize storage efficiency. For instance, in April 2024, Embratel, a Brazil-based telecommunications firm, launched Smart Silo, a grain monitoring solution for agribusiness. It features real-time monitoring of critical storage parameters, automated alerts, an intuitive user interface, online self-diagnosis, and quality control assurance to enhance efficiency and profitability in grain storage operations.

In July 2024, Mitchells Group, a UK-based provider of bulk material conveying equipment, acquired Allied Grain Systems for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen Mitchells Group's position in the bulk handling and storage sector, expanding its capabilities to better serve farmers and agribusinesses across key international markets. Allied Grain Systems, based in Australia, manufactures grain storage and handling equipment.

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 elevating production and installation costs for grain storage facilities, particularly affecting steel silos, metal silos, and modular storage systems across major agricultural regions in North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. These tariffs increase the overall cost of storage expansion and slow infrastructure development, yet they also support domestic manufacturing growth, encourage localized sourcing of materials, and promote innovation in cost-efficient storage technologies to reduce dependence on imported components.

This grain storage facilities market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

Grain storage facilities are structures or systems built to store harvested grain, safeguarding it from spoilage, pests, and environmental conditions until it is required for processing or sale. These facilities employ advanced technology and infrastructure to maintain the grain in optimal condition, thereby reducing losses from spoilage or pest infestation.

The primary types of grain storage facilities include steel silos, metal silos, and other variations. Steel silos are cylindrical containers made of steel, designed to store bulk grains such as rice, wheat, maize, and other agricultural products, offering protection against pests and environmental influences. These facilities are utilized for storing various commodities such as rice, wheat, maize, soybean, sunflower, and more, and find applications in farms, major ports, the food industry, and other sectors.North America was the largest region in the grain storage facilities market in 2025.
