Global Seed Treatment Market Forecast to Achieve $9.2 Billion by 2027 Amid Rising Agricultural Demand
Delray Beach, FL, Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global seed treatment market is expected to surge from $6.1 billion in 2022 to a projected $9.2 billion by 2027, at a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%, according to recent industry forecasts. This growth is fueled by the rising demand for food security worldwide, technological advancements, the growing adoption of precision farming techniques, and government support. Together, these factors have created an environment where seed treatments are becoming more widely adopted, providing farmers with effective, efficient solutions to boost crop yields and enhance protection.
Seed treatment essential for protecting crops from pests and diseases and improving germination rates has become a critical component of modern agriculture. Farmers and growers are increasingly reaping the benefits of these advanced treatments, which play a significant role in promoting sustainability and productivity.
High Demand for Seed Coating in Commercial Agriculture
A significant driver of the seed treatment market growth is the rising demand for seed coating, particularly in commercial farming. As farmers worldwide shift from traditional methods to modern agricultural practices, they are increasingly investing in commercial seeds to achieve higher yields and profits despite limited resources. Seed coating, which enhances the size, shape, and flowability of seeds, has become particularly beneficial in the precise sowing required for high-value crops such as fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. Leading companies like BASF SE (Germany) and Germains Seed Technology (UK) are actively involved in developing innovative seed coating solutions.
