Seed Coating Market by Type (Polymers, Colorants, Minerals/Pumice), Active Ingredients Type (Protectants, Nutrients, Phytoactive Promoters), Crop Type (Cereals and Grains, Oilseeds and Pulses, Vegetables, Flowers, and Ornamentals) - Global Forecast to 2030
According to the research report titled, 'Seed Coating Market by Type (Polymers, Colorants, Minerals/Pumice), Active Ingredients Type (Protectants, Nutrients, Phytoactive Promoters), Crop Type (Cereals and Grains, Oilseeds and Pulses, Vegetables, Flowers and Ornamentals) - Global Forecast to 2030,' the seed coating market is projected to reach $6.13 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period 2023-2030. The report provides an in-depth analysis of the seed coating market across five major regions, emphasizing the current market trends, market sizes, recent developments, and forecasts till 2030.
Following extensive secondary and primary research and an in-depth analysis of the market scenario, the report conducts an impact analysis of the key industry drivers, restraints, opportunities, and trends. The growth of the seed coating market is driven by the growing demand for low-cost crop protection solutions, technological advancements, the rising focus on seed treatment, reduction in arable lands, the need to increase agricultural productivity, rising demand for low-cost alternatives to hybrid and genetically modified seeds and increasing farmers' preference for seed-enhancing products. However, stringent, and non-standardized regulatory framework, restrictions on the use of neonicotinoids, the limited shelf life of treated seeds, and the lower awareness about seed coating technology among growers in developing countries may restrain market growth.
Moreover, the emergence of biodegradable seed coatings is expected to create market growth opportunities. However, the complex process of the seed film coating and financial hurdles for new entrants pose a significant challenge to the market's growth.
The key players operating in the seed coating market are BASF SE (Germany), Bayer AG (Germany), Chromatech Incorporated (Netherlands), Cistronics Innovations Pvt. Ltd. (India), Clariant International Ltd. (Switzerland), Croda International Plc. (U.K), Germains Seed Technology (U.S.), Milliken & Company (U.S.), and Precision Laboratories, LLC (U.S.).
Based on material type, the seed coating market is segmented into polymers, colorants, minerals/pumice, and other material types. In 2023, the polymer segment is expected to account for the largest share of the seed coating market. The large market share of this segment is primarily attributed to the growing demand for polymers in seed coating due to their ability to enhance the seed germination process and provide protection against pests, diseases, drought, and adverse soil conditions. Moreover, the high acceptance of seed-coating polymers is attributed to their low viscosity and water-based nature, which promotes faster seed germination. Seed-coating polymers keep seeds damp/moist, provide an unwavering temperature, and suppress seeding stress from drying field conditions.
Based on active ingredients type, the seed coating market is segmented into protectants, nutrients, phytoactive promoters, and other active ingredients. In 2023, the protectants segment is expected to account for the largest share of the seed coating market. The large market share of this segment is primarily attributed to the growing incidence of soilborne pests and diseases and the need for a safe and controlled application of plant protectants. Seed coating is an effective carrier of plant protectants such as pesticides. In addition, the application of plant protectants through the seed coating provides benefits such as precise placement on the target, minimum toxicant requirements and impact on the environment, and minimum exposure to wildlife and beneficial organisms.
Based on crop type, the seed coating market is segmented into cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, vegetables, flowers and ornamentals, and other crop types. In 2023, the cereals & grains segment is expected to account for the largest share of the seed coating market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the growing need to increase cereal & grain production, minimize cereal & grain loss due to pests and diseases, and the increasing use of cereal & grains in animal feed, biofuel, and starch & ethanol production.
An in-depth geographic analysis of the industry provides detailed qualitative and quantitative insights into the five major regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa) and the coverage of major countries in each region. Asia-Pacific is expected to register a rapid growth rate during the forecast period of 2023-2030 due to the rising demand for high-yield crop products and growing support from various organizations & governments to enhance crop productivity in several countries.
