Market Overview The global post-harvest treatment market, which was valued at USD 1.25 billion in 2018, is projected to reach USD 2.22 billion by 2026, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. Post-harvest treatment plays a vital role in protecting and enhancing the quality of products such as fruits, vegetables, and tubers. Key post-harvest technologies include edible coatings, chemical treatments, and temperature control methods, including heat and irradiation, which aid in preserving antimicrobials, antioxidants, and preventing darkening. Edible coatings not only improve the taste and texture of products but also safeguard them during storage and transportation.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, worldwide food loss and waste are significant, with approximately 30% for cereals, 40 to 50% for root vegetables, fruits, and leafy vegetables, 20% for oilseeds, meat, dairy products, and 35% for fish. This scenario is expected to boost the demand for post-harvest treatments as people increasingly aim to reduce these losses. Preparing produce for the market is a critical process that can take place in the field or at packing houses. It involves activities like cleaning, sanitizing, sorting by quality and size, waxing, and, when necessary, applying an approved fungicide before packing into shipping containers. Proper packaging safeguards produce from physical damage and contamination during distribution. Corrugated fiberboard containers are commonly used for packaging, though reusable plastic containers can also serve this purpose. Among the different types of treatments, edible coatings are anticipated to be a crucial part of the global market in the foreseeable future. Coatings help extend the shelf life of vegetables and fruits, delay sweetening and ripening, and maintain their color, firmness, and taste.
