NEW YORK, Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The seed treatment market is set to grow by USD 3,063.64 million from 2022 to 2027 progressing at a CAGR of 8.32% during the forecast period. The report offers an up-to-date analysis regarding the current global market scenario, the latest trends and drivers, and the overall market environment. The rising awareness regarding seed-applied technologies is driving market growth. The increasing demand for food is coinciding with a decline in per capita arable land availability, primarily due to population growth and urbanization. To enhance the efficiency of their farmlands, farmers are focusing on developing techniques like high-yield hybrid seeds for progressive food production. The utilization of treated seeds with extended shelf life and good quality becomes essential in this context. Government awareness programs, such as the India Seed Treatment Campaign, are also contributing to the growth of the seed treatment market during the forecast period. To tackle the challenges posed by limited land availability, vendors are continuously introducing high-yield hybrid seeds. In China, there is a particular emphasis on increasing yields per hectare through the introduction of new varieties that offer higher yields while requiring reduced water, fertilizers, and other inputs, and are more resistant to droughts, heat, submersions, pests, and diseases. Consequently, the combination of declining arable land and the development of treated crops is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Analyst Review
In the agriculture, where farmers tirelessly toil to meet the world’s growing demand for food, the seed treatment market plays a pivotal role in ensuring crop productivity and minimizing losses due to various factors such as pest infestations, fungal diseases, and abiotic stresses.
Seed treatment involves the application of insecticides, fungicides, and other chemicals to seeds before planting, thereby protecting them from soil-dwelling insect pests, nematodes, and seed-borne diseases. Syngenta Group, a key player in this market, provides a range of seed treatment chemicals containing active ingredients like Metalaxyl, Carbendazim, Thiram, Captan, Imidacloprid, Clothianidin, Thiamethoxam, Fipronil, and Chlorpyrifos. These potent chemicals not only combat pests but also enhance abiotic stress tolerance in crops, helping them withstand droughts, heatwaves, and other adverse environmental conditions.
Farmers, facing constant challenges from crop diseases and pest control, rely on seed treatments to safeguard their seedlings during the preharvest stage and throughout the crop cycle. By employing fungicidal seed treatments containing Tricyclazole and other agents, they effectively manage fungal diseases like rice blast, ensuring healthy plant establishment and maximizing rice yield.
In addition to protecting seeds from pests and diseases, seed treatments contribute to sustainable farming practices by reducing the need for chemical sprays post-planting, thus minimizing environmental impact. This approach aligns with the goals of governments and extension services worldwide, which often support such initiatives through subsidies and awareness campaigns aimed at promoting industry collaborations for sustainable agriculture.
Furthermore, seed treatments target a diverse range of pests, including sucking insects like wireworms, seed-corn maggots, grubs, caterpillars, and beetles, thereby ensuring optimal crop production and minimizing crop losses due to pest damage.
Overall, the seed treatment market continues to evolve, driven by advancements in chemical formulations, technological innovations, and increasing awareness among farmers about the benefits of seed treatment. As agriculture faces new challenges in the form of climate change and evolving pest pressures, the role of seed treatments in safeguarding crop yield and enhancing food security remains indispensable.
