Global Seed Treatment Chemicals Market is projected to Reach Around US$ 5,500 Mn by 2026
The global
seed treatment chemicals market was valued at
around US$ 3,500.0 Mn in 2017 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR
of more than 5.0% from 2018 to 2026, according to a new report
published by Transparency Market Research (TMR) titled ‘Seed
Treatment Chemicals Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share,
Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026.’ The global seed
treatment chemicals market is driven by the rise in demand for seed
treatment chemicals among farmers due to their effective usage in
crop protection and yield enhancement. The seed treatment chemicals
market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand at a CAGR of around 8.0%
during the forecast period. Improvement in seed treatment active
ingredients, advancement in farming practices, enhanced plant growth,
and improvement in crops’ stress tolerance are factors estimated to
drive the global seed treatment chemicals market during the forecast
period.
Increase in
Prevalence of Crop Diseases and Pests
Of late, the
threat of crop diseases and transboundary plant pests has amplified
due to the drastic climatic changes and improper or inappropriate
crop protection methods. Seeds and seedlings are vulnerable to
several foliar pests and soil-borne diseases. Soil-borne diseases
substantially lower the photosynthetic capacity of vegetable plants,
thereby hampering the crop yield. Thus, rise in prevalence of
soil-borne diseases and pests causes significant yield losses. Seed
treatment chemicals are primarily used to ensure uniform crop stand
establishment by protecting crops against soil-borne pathogens and
insects. Seed treatment chemicals exterminate seed-borne pathogens
such as smut, bunt, mycelium, bacteria, and nematodes. Thus, high
prevalence of soil-borne diseases and pests is anticipated to boost
the demand for seed treatment chemicals. Increase in demand for seed
treatment chemicals owing to their characteristics of seed
disinfection and seed disinfestation from seed-borne and soil-borne
pathogenic organisms, and storage insects is projected to drive the
global seed treatment chemicals market.
Rise in Demand
for Biostimulant Seed Treatment Chemicals
Biostimulant seed
treatment chemicals foster crop growth and development by enhancing
crop vigor, crop yield, crop quality, and tolerance of abiotic
stresses in crops. Biostimulant seed treatment chemicals facilitate
nutrient assimilation and translocation. This enhances the efficiency
of crop metabolism, thus increasing its yield and quality.
Biostimulant seed treatment chemicals stimulate water absorbing
capacity of crops and enhance soil fertility by encouraging the
development of complementary soil micro-organisms. A paradigm shift
in utilization rate of biostimulant seed treatment chemicals over
pesticide foliar sprays is likely to boost the global seed treatment
chemicals market. Implementation of stringent regulations on usage of
neonicotinoids based pesticides in EU countries is anticipated to
provide an impetus to the adoption rate of biostimulant seed
treatment chemicals. Rise in usage of biostimulant seed treatment
chemicals owing to their beneficial functions is projected to drive
the global seed treatment chemicals market during the forecast
period.
North America
Dominates Global Seed Treatment Chemicals Market; However, Asia
Pacific to Resister Exponential Growth and Offer High Incremental
Opportunity
Based on region,
the global seed treatment chemicals market can be segregated into
North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East &
Africa. In terms of value, North America was the leading region of
the global seed treatment chemicals market in 2017. The U.S.
accounted for significant share of the seed treatment chemicals
market in the region, owing to the higher adoption rate of seed
treatment chemicals for different crops such as wheat, corn, and
soybean. Increase in agricultural activities in emerging markets such
as India, China, and Australia is driving the seed treatment
chemicals market in Asia Pacific. Advent of advanced farming
techniques and favorable climatic conditions are anticipated to
produce high crop yields in Asia Pacific. The usage of advanced
farming techniques such as seed priming, seed coating, and seed
pelleting using seed treated products is projected to boost the
demand for seed treatment chemicals in Asia Pacific in the next few
years. Furthermore, the seed treatment chemicals market in Argentina
and Brazil is likely to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast
period.
Eminent players
