Rising Pressure to Improve Yield across Geographic regions Driving the Crop Protection Chemicals Market

Approximately 40% of the total crop produce has been lost due to infestations from pests, weeds and diseases. On the other hand, the demand food crops are expected to increase in the future owing mainly to the rising global population and increase in per capita consumption. This increasing demand can be met either by increasing the yield of food crops or increase in the land under cultivation. However, the land resources are limited and the potential to increase area under cultivation is highly challenging as the arable land is decreasing. To overcome such problems crop protection chemicals are used to control the damage and enhance the productivity. These chemicals are applied on crops to protect them from pest, weeds and other parasites.

Various types of crop protection chemicals use by the farming community:
•         Fungicides
•         Herbicides
•         Insecticides
•         Plant growth regulators
•         Rodenticides and others.

Use of Plant Growth Regulators to Enhance Productivity

Plant growth regulator also known as bio-stimulants or bio-inhibitors is an organic compound that controls the growth and development of plant through modification of various physiological attributes of the plant. Plant growth regulators were first used in early 1930’s in the U.S. With the increasing mechanization in agricultural techniques plant growth regulators are gaining significance as they play a vital role to enhance crop production during various stages from germination to harvest and also post-harvest preservation.

Rising Consumer Concerns On Food Safety And Quality Set To Drive The Food Safety Testing Equipment Market

Food Safety and quality are two major concerns in the recent years. The rising incidents of food-borne illness, free global trade activity and consumer awareness has created a need for food safety testing. Microbial contamination, mislabeling, and adulteration have been the major causes of food scandals globally. The usage of food testing equipment is driven by the increasing food trade and recent food outbreaks. Active mass media coverage of such mishaps has pressurized food manufacturers to comply with the regulatory standards and go overboard to appease customers. The food safety equipment market is witnessing a significant growth and offering a wide pool of opportunities for the manufacturers. The food testing equipment market was estimated at $2,189m in 2014 and is projected to grow at a healthy rate in coming years.


v  Increasing Incidents Of Contamination And Food Mislabeling Propel The Growth
Food safety is one of the major issues in China after 2008 dairy products scandal where that led to death of six infants and made approximately 300,000 sick. In July 2014, other incident took place where expired meat was supplies in a well-known food chain in China. One after other rising incidents of dairy and meat scandal in the country has increased the demand for food safety testing. In 2013, the horse meat scandal in U.K., where horse meat was found in frozen beef burgers. In January 2015, Washington Beef LLC, (U.S.), recalled 1,620 pounds of boneless beef trim product due to the possible E.colicontamination. In Feb 2015, Whole foods (U.S.) recalled its packaged raw macadamia nuts due to possible Salmonella contamination. Apart from this the food mislabeling issues has also raised concern for food safety. In Japan, almost 307 cases of food mislabeling were reported in 2013.
To reduce such incidents thorough food testing and nutritional analysis is required. Mandatory and stringent food regulations by the government will result in high demand for food testing equipment.

Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) Market to Witness Substantial Growth of 20% Through 2020 to reach $7 Billion as Adoption Rates in Manufacturing and Retail Segments Increase

Real Time Location System (RTLS) is a technology that is used to automatically identify and locate objects, assets or individuals in real time. The goal of RTLS is to continuously track location of the targets. RTLS works with the help of a tag which is attached to the target from which wireless signals are sent and received by the readers. The readers are usually fixed at predetermined positions and they transmit the location data to the software which then interprets the exact location visually to the end user. 


The report from IndustryARC on RTLS systems estimated the current market size to be around $2.3 billion in 2014. This market is estimated to grow to $7 billion through 2020. The increased demand for RTLS in manufacturing and healthcare is forecast to drive the market. The increased customer demand for these services has led to the entry of leading electronics and semiconductor companies including ABB (Sweden), Honeywell (U.S) and Siemens (Germany) in the market. This recent report created by IndustryARC examines this market and as well as the various RTLS technologies utilized by consumers.

North America is currently the biggest market in 2014 followed by Europe. However the APAC region is poised to grow at the highest CAGR through 2020. The significant growth in APAC region is due to more emerging economies are investing significant capital into increasing the adoption of logistics and manufacturing industries across the supply chains.
