Global Seed Treatment Market Size is valued at USD 6.9 Bn in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 15.7 Bn by the year 2034 at a 8.7% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
The seed treatment market has gained popularity and acceptance due to key player’s aggregated research and development efforts in launching new & innovative products, which has empowered crop producers to achieve high efficiency in protecting the high-value seeds and further controlling the high loading rates of active chemical ingredients. The novel traits embedded in newly introduced verities and the sharp upward trajectory in the price of products in recent times have compelled them to protect them to ensure appropriate germination of productivity of the crops.
The increasing control of pests, insects, & diseases is generally achieved traditionally by applying synthetic pesticides through foliar application methods. The efficacy and safety of the process act as a better alternative to conventional pest control methods along with the low cost, which can supplement the other control measure to achieve desired results in the field. COVID-19 impacted the growth of the global market restrictions on the movement of vehicles and lockdown. Owing to the market closures, prices of agriculture products such as pesticides and fertilizers also have increased in the range.
The seed treatment market is categorized by type, crop type, formulation, application technique, function. Based on type, the market is segmented into chemicals and non-chemicals. The market is segmented by crop type into oilseeds, cereals & grains, fruits & vegetables. oilseeds is sub segmented into soybean, cotton, canola, sunflower. Cereals & grains is sub segmented into corn, wheat, rice, sorghum, barley. fruits & vegetables is sub segmented into solanaceae, cucurbits, brassicas, leafy vegetables, root & bulb vegetables, other fruits & vegetables (other fruits & vegetables include peas, eggplants, and melon), other crop types (turf, forages, alfalfa, and flower seeds.). the market is segmented by formulation into ds - (powder for dry seed treatment), ws - (water dispersible powder for slurry seed treatment), wg - (water dispersible granules), ss - (water soluble powder), ls - (liquid solution), es - (emulsion), fs - (flowable concentrate), cf - (capsule suspension), gf - (gels). The market is segmented by application into seed coating, seed dressing, seed pelleting.
The market is divided into seed protection and seed enhancement. Seed protection is sub segmented into chemical and biological seed protection. chemical segment is sub segmented into insecticides- thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, clothianidin, other insecticides (other insecticides include fipronil and chlorpyrifos.), fungicide- thiram, carbendazim, tebuconazole, carboxin, other fungicides (other fungicides include metalaxyl and ipconazole), other seed protection functions (other seed protection functions include nematicides.)- fumigants, organophosphate, carbamates, other nematicides (other nematicides include acetoprole, benclothiaz, DBCP, and chitosan), biological seed protection is sub segmented into bioinsecticide- bacillus thuringenesis, beavaria bassiana, metarhizium anisopliae, verticillium lecanii, baculovirus, other bioinsecticides (other bioinsecticides include predatory insects, and protozoans), biofungicide- bacillus, trichoderma, streptomyces, pseudomonas, other biofungicidese (other biofungicides include saccharomyces, aureobasidium, and coniothyrium), bionemeticides- microbials, biochemicals.
The seed enhancement is sub segmented into biologicals- biofertilizers, nitrogen-fixing biofertilizers, phosphate solubilizing & mobilizing biofertilizers, potassium solubilizing & mobilizing biofertilizers, other biofertilizers (other biofertilizers include zinc, silica, and sulfur solubilizing biofertilizers), biostimulants, humic substances, seaweed extracts, microbial amendments, amino acids, other biostimulants, (other biostimulants include polysaccharides, trace minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants), plant growth regulators- auxins, gibberellic acid, cytokinins, abcisisic acid biofertilizers, ethylene, seed priming, seed disinfection.
The production and consumption of vegetables to a major role in nutrition and the global population. The production of fruit & vegetables has experienced a remarkable increase, and consumption has also increased and is expected to continue during the forecast period. Moreover, the rising demand for organic fruits & vegetables is driving the growth of not just the seed treatment market but also the adjacent market of biological seed treatment market. Further, the increasing production of high-value vegetable crops, such as lettuce, spinach, hydroponic, tomato, and bell pepper, has increased the scope for developing the seed treatment market.
Asia Pacific is projected to be the largest-growing region during the forecast period because there is growing demand for fodder crops. The increasing demand for crop protection chemicals in Asia Pacific countries is accelerating the markets during the forecast period. Most established players are expanding their business in the Asia Pacific region, driven by the increasing demand.
