RICE MILLING MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into Below 50 Ton, 50-150 Ton, Above 150 Ton.

• Below 50 Ton: Machines weighing less than 50 tons are suitable for small-scale rice milling. 50-150 ton machines can handle medium-sized rice processing and are usually used by small and medium-sized rice mills.

• 50-150 Ton: On the other hand, machines weighing more than 150 tons are designed for large rice milling operations and are usually used by large rice mill owners or rice processing companies. These market segments serve the various processing requirements of the rice industry, from small to large production volumes.

• Above 150 Ton: Machines weighing more than 150 tons are suitable for small-scale rice milling. Above 150 ton machines can handle medium-sized rice processing and are usually used by small and medium-sized rice mills.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Commercial, Home Use.

• Commercial: Commercial milling system and home milling system process rice in several steps. The main purpose of a commercial milling system is to reduce mechanical stress on the grain and heat build-up. This results in the production of uniformly polished rice with minimal grain breakage. Compared to home milling systems, commercial milling are more sophisticated systems designed to maximize production of well-ground whole grains.

• Home use: In the domestic market, these machines are usually smaller and used by small rice mills or households to grind rice for personal consumption or small-scale sale. They offer convenience and efficiency when processing rice on a smaller scale.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Emphasis On Rice Processing Plants Will Lead To Market Growth

Indian rice milling market CAGR is driven by increasing rice processingorder to extend the shelf life of rice. The milling process offers more advantages to rice processing companies. The growing stimulus for the market is due to increasing investments improving and modernizing rice milling technology in India, as well as government support systems and policies. In India, rice processing is the largest agricultural product the agro-processing industry.

Increasing Affordability and Customization Options to Expand the Market

The rice milling market growth in India is influenced by several market influencing factors. First, India's growing population and increasing urbanization will increase the demand for refined rice products. As more people move to urban areas, the consumption of ready-to-eat and ready-to-eat cooked rice products increases, increasing the need for efficient rice milling processes. Second, growing consumer awareness of food safety and quality is increasing the demand for well-processed and properly packaged rice. Consumers are increasingly looking for rice products that are free of additives, properly graded and meet quality standards. Finally, government initiatives and policies to support the agricultural sector, improve infrastructure and promote rice exports will have a positive impact on the Indian rice milling market.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Increasing Availability Of Used Models May Impede Market Growth

The increasing availability of used models is a major challenge for the growth of the global rice mill market. Rice processing companies planning to increase production can invest in used models of rice milling machines, which will also help save costs associated with purchasing new equipment. Many small and medium-sized rice mills, especially in developing countries, prefer ready-made rice mills to minimize initial investment. There are several models of used rice mills on the market from established sellers. There are also off-the-shelf models from major mainstream suppliers such as Buhler and Satake available from various suppliers. The significant differences in the prices of used models compared to the prices of new models of rice mills can encourage many end users to invest in used equipment. Thus, the growing rice mill market is expected to influence the growth prospects of the global rice mill market during the forecast period.
