The global Seed Treatment Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 6.83 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.2% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:

Seed treatment involves applying pesticides and other chemicals to protect seeds from insects, fungi, and other pathogens during storage and early growth. Chemical seed treatments help boost seed germination and ensure better plant establishment. Some commonly used seed treatments include insecticides, fungicides and micro-nutrients.

Market key trends:

One of the major trends fueling the growth of the seed treatment market is the growing emphasis on sustainable agriculture. Farmers are increasingly adopting strategies like integrated pest management practices and using targeted seed treatment with minimal chemicals. This helps control pests effectively while reducing pesticide residues and their impact on the environment. Precision application techniques ensure only the required amount of chemicals is used, optimized for the target crop's needs. This leads to higher yields with less input costs and lower wastage of agrochemicals.

Segment Analysis

The global seed treatment market is segmented by type, treatment method, application technique and crop type. Based on type, the market is categorized into chemical seed treatment and non- chemical seed treatment. The chemical seed treatment segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period as it protects the crop from seeds borne diseases and also provides nutrition to seedlings at initial growth stages. Based on treatment method, the market is classified into seed coating, seed dressing and seed pelleting. Seed coating is expected to be the largest segment as it protects seeds and helps in even distribution of active ingredients on seed surfaces.
