An upsurge in awareness regarding post-harvest treatments is anticipated to drive the growth of the post-harvest treatment market. Post-harvest treatment involves processes aimed at reducing spoilage and enhancing the appearance and marketability of harvested crops. These treatments are commonly applied in the fresh fruit market after crop harvesting, starting from the moment the crops are removed from the ground. Governments are actively showing interest in promoting post-harvest techniques, with several initiatives taken to improve these practices across various states. For instance, in September 2022, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) allocated an additional $155 million in supplementary funding to the USDA Healthy Food Financing Initiative program, as reported by the Federation of American Scientists, a US-based nonprofit organization. Consequently, the growing awareness of post-harvest treatment contributes to the expansion of the post-harvest treatment market.

The expanding global population is expected to be a driving factor for the growth of the post-harvest treatment market in the foreseeable future. The term "population" refers to the total number of individuals residing in a specific area, region, or country, reflecting demographic growth. Post-harvest treatment plays a crucial role in ensuring food security for a growing population by mitigating post-harvest losses, extending shelf life, and preserving the nutritional quality of harvested crops. These efforts contribute to the establishment of an efficient and sustainable food supply chain. As reported by the United Nations, a US-based intergovernmental organization, the world's population is projected to increase by nearly 2 billion people over the next 30 years, reaching 9.7 billion by 2050 from the current 8 billion. Hence, the rising global population is a significant driver of the post-harvest treatment market's growth.

The strategic collaboration between companies is emerging as a key trend in the post-harvest treatment market. Businesses involved in post-harvest treatment are increasingly forming partnerships and collaborations to drive innovation in technologies and products. An example of such collaboration is the renewed partnership between Chrysal International B.V., a US-based agricultural company, and Syngenta AG. This collaboration focuses on the Alesco post-harvest treatment, an economical solution that extends the longevity of flowers and enhances shelf life by up to three weeks, depending on various factors such as the variety and environmental conditions.

Major players in the post-harvest treatment market are also emphasizing the introduction of post-harvest fungicides to gain a competitive advantage. Post-harvest fungicides are substances applied to harvested crops or stored produce to prevent or control fungal growth, decay, and spoilage during storage and transportation. They play a crucial role in preserving the quality of agricultural products and extending their shelf life. For instance, Syngenta AG recently launched Archive, a new post-harvest fungicide designed specifically for potatoes. Archive, a pre-mix fungicide, employs two unique modes of action through its active ingredients, Fludioxonil and Azoxystrobin, providing robust protection against silver scurf and Fusarium dry rot diseases.
