Fruit ripening is a process by which
fruits achieve their desirable flavor, color, quality, palatable nature and
other textural properties. This process involves a series of fluctuations in
the composition of the fruit, including the transformation of starch to sugar,
that are triggered by a cascade of chemical & biochemical reactions in the
fruit. The immersion& producing of chemicals during ripening process means
that this process can be controlled by changing the atmospheric composition
surrounding the fruit. One of the most commonly used chemicals for speeding up
the ripening process is ethylene(C2H4, ethene), known as ‘the ripening
hormone’. Ethylene is naturally formedthrough ripening fruits where it can
trigger bio-chemical cascades and physiological responses for instance the
aging & shedding of petals or additional growth in some cells. This gas is
a de-greening agent that turns the peel from green to perfect yellow (in the
case of bananas) and retain the sweetness & aroma of the fruit. Some other
effects of gas are abortion of plant foliage & stems, shortening of stems,
loss of chlorophyll, and bending of the stems (epinasty). Additionally, Carbon
dioxide (CO2) gas is alternative by-product of fruit ripening process and
controlling CO2 concentrations that helps tune certain properties &
characteristics of the final fruit.
According to study, “Global
Fruit Ripening Gas Market Status (2015-2019) and Forecast (2020-2024)
by Region, Product Type & End-Use” the key companies operating in the
global fruit ripening gas market are Saudi Basic Industries Corporation,
Chevron Phillips, Dow, LyondellBasell Industries, Exxon Mobil, National
Petrochemical Company, Shell, Total S.A., Sinopec, INEOS Group AG. Key players
are continuously working towards strategic growth initiatives for instance
expansion, collaboration, and merger to reinforce their position in the global
market and to remain in the forefront to meet the accumulative demand for the
product.
Based on type, fruit ripening
gasmarket is segmented into L Grade, M Grade and others.Based on ethylene gas
feedstock, market is segmented into Naphtha, Propane, Ethane, Butane and
others.Based on fruit type, market is segmented into climacteric fruit and
non-climacteric fruit. In addition, based on application, market is segmented
into automotive industry, food packaging and others.
The fruit ripening gasmarket is driven
by growth in food industry, followed by rise in use of aseptic packaging in
beverage industries, increase in use in the production of polyethylene and rise
in working population. However, increase in stringent government regulations on
the use of petroleum-based products may impact the market. Moreover, growth in
inclination towards the use of bio-based ethylene is a key trend for market.
Based on geography, the Asian-Pacific
region holds major share in fruit ripening gasmarket owing to presence of major
agricultural countries and increase in end-use industries such as automotive,
construction, packaging, agrochemical, textile, and others in the region.
Whereas, the European and North-American regions are likely to exhibit
substantial growth rate due to growth in automotive industries and presence of
key manufacturers over the forecast period.
