Thursday 7 November 2013, London

The Food Security Technologies Market 2013-2023: Agricultural Biotechnologies, Nanotechnologies, Machinery, Fertilisers, Irrigation & Chemical Tools report is the new food security technologies study for readers globally. The food security technologies market has developed as a result of rising concerns about the food security issues around the world in the face of the constantly increasing global population.

The food security technologies market can be defined as a market where technologies such as agricultural biotechnologies, nanotechnologies, micro irrigation, fertilisers, chemical tools, and other technologies with applications to the food sector, are able to achieve a state when food systems operate such that all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.

Food security technologies can help to produce enough food for the global population and provide access to food to the people around the world. The authors of this study predict that food security technologies market will continue growing throughout the forecasting period of 2013-2023. These technologies not only have to ensure a balance between food availability and safety requirements, but also tackle the famine, seasonal or chronic under-nutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and nutrient-depleting illnesses, especially in the least developed countries of Africa and Asia.

This study identifies in monetary terms the following submarkets of food security technologies: agricultural biotechnology, crop protection solutions (chemical tools); nanotechnologies; irrigation practices, fertilisers, mechanisation and other technologies. In the scope of this report, these 6 major submarkets are forecasted for the period of 2013-2023, and the regional markets are also analysed.

The main drivers of the food security technologies developments include constantly rising population, and as a result, rising demand for food; land scarcity; environmental concerns; malnutrition and other illnesses associated with insufficient diets, especially in developing countries; desire of the companies to be at the forefront of innovations; support of states for certain projects, etc.

The 191 page report contains 170 tables, charts and graphs that add visual analysis in order to explain developing trends within the food security technologies market. This study provides forecasts for the period 2013-2023 in terms of value (US$) for the food security technologies market. In addition, 7 regions for every submarket are forecasted and analysed over the period 2013-2023. Submarket forecasts from 2013-2023 are also provided: agricultural biotechnologies, nanotechnologies, chemical tools, fertilisers, mechanization, irrigation and other technologies Other submarkets such as ICTs and non-chemical tools for crop protection are discussed in more details in the Introduction. The report also provides profiles of 20 leading companies operating within the food security technologies market, and includes 2 exclusive interviews from Dow AgroSciences and EuropaBio, providing expert insight alongside the analysis.

The Food Security Technologies Market 2013-2023: Agricultural Biotechnologies, Nanotechnologies, Machinery, Fertilisers, Irrigation & Chemical Tools report will be of value to current and future potential investors into the world food security technologies industry, as well as companies and research centres who wish to broaden their knowledge of the food security technologies market.
