The global rice milling machine market was valued at USD 1.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% between 2025 and 2034. 1 ton rice mill machine
An increasing global rice product comes in conjunction with the general thrust for agricultural enhancement in underdeveloped countries, which has resulted in the demand for advanced milling solutions. Improvement in agricultural automation design with automation, energy-efficient resources, and strategies has elevated the operational efficiency of companies while also reducing their costs. Such innovations are very attractive to both large-scale commercial rice mills and small-scale farmers looking for lower prices on high-quality rice.
For instance, in November 2023, Buhler Group opened a new factory in Vietnam with a goal to increase the production of rice processing equipment with locally produced models. This plant is, however, aimed at meeting the demand for high-quality rice processing solutions in South Asian countries. The plant aims to manufacture several hundred machines targeting the Vietnamese market along with its neighboring countries.
The growing need for contemporary rice milling equipment is being catalyzed by government efforts aimed at transforming agriculture. There are various countries that help both farmers and millers in obtaining automated and effective machinery by offering them financial support and subsidies. These initiatives help in increasing productivity and improving rice quality, which in turn accelerates the use of new milling machines in both small and large-scale operations.
As an example, in October 2024, Kisumu County, in partnership with the National Irrigation Authority (NIA), initiated a program to enhance the rice production capabilities of the Nyando region. The program will also improve the rice milling facilities by providing state-of-the-art milling machines, which will improve the efficiency and quality of the rice.
There is an increasing use of fully pneumatic rice milling system as there is a need for more efficient, energy-saving techniques. In addition, these systems achieve smooth rice milling machine operation since rice husking and separation are done using air pressure, which results in low mechanical wear. Also, many large-scale rice mills are attracted to the trend towards automation and minimal manual labor, with a possible increase in throughput and good-quality milling at lower operational costs.
In September 2024, Sona Machinery invested on a global scale with a remarkable rice milling unit in Kibos, Kenya. This facility houses a necessary upgrade that will boost efficiency with completely pneumatic system which mitigates downtime while increasing production yield. It is expected that with this upgrade, the local rice producers will benefit from this as the processing quality is set to increase further alongside the overall output, remaining cost-effective while scaling operations.
As smooth an entry as the mega facility seems to have, there exist problems in the adoption of modern rice milling that make it tremendously difficult, one being not enough skilled labor for the operation of machinery. It is specifically important to keep an eye out for the areas that are devoid of educational or training services, as the demand for trained technicians is especially high around these regions. On top of this, fully automated and pneumatic system both have extremely high affiliation costs along with maintenance charges, all of which go beyond the bounds of affordability for the small-scale farmers. This fogs the vision of adopting modern rice milling on a broader scale.
In terms of the machine, the rice milling machine industry can be categorized into fully automatic, semi-automatic, and manual where fully automatic segments accounted for about 46% in 2024 and is expected to exceed USD 850 million by 2034.
Based on operation, the rice milling machine market is divided into pre-cleaning, separating, grading, rice whitening, and other. The pre-cleaning segment held 27% of the market share in 2024.
In 2024, the Asia Pacific rice milling machine market accounted for a share of 48% and is expected to exceed USD 900 million by 2034.
Buhler AG Growth International, and Satake hold around 18% share in the rice milling machine industry in 2024.
