Biological Seed Treatment Global Market Report 2024

The biological seed treatment market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.61 billion in 2023 to $3.96 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The expansion observed during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing awareness surrounding sustainable agricultural practices, supportive regulations for biopesticides, the necessity for integrated pest management (IPM), the demand for improved crop yields, and a concerted focus on soil health.

The biological seed treatment market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.57 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecasted period is anticipated to stem from several key factors, notably the escalating demand for organic farming practices, heightened concerns regarding climate change and agricultural resilience, a dedicated focus on sustainable crop protection methods, the increasing global population, and the imperative concerns surrounding food security. Collaborations in research and development are also expected to contribute significantly to this growth trajectory.

The escalating demand for chemical-free crops is anticipated to be a driving force behind the burgeoning growth of the biological seed treatment market. Chemical-free crops, cultivated without the use of any chemicals, are witnessing an increased preference among growers. Biological seed treatments, chosen over chemical alternatives, are embraced for their reduced exposure to agrochemicals and minimized environmental impact. Notably, India's production of approximately 3.48 million metric tons of certified organic products and the 3% growth in sales of organic products, reaching around $9.4 billion in 2022, as reported by Outlook and Organic Food Produce respectively, exemplify this surging demand, propelling the expansion of the biological seed treatment market.

The mounting demand for agricultural products stands as a significant driver bolstering the biological seed treatment market. Agricultural goods, including crops and fruits intended for human consumption, industrial use, or further processing, witness increased demand. Biological seed treatment serves as a pivotal technique in agricultural production, enhancing plant growth, safeguarding against pests and diseases, fostering root development, and improving soil health. The California Department of Food and Agriculture's reports in August 2023, indicating a marked increase of 16.4% in California's organic product sales to $14 billion in 2021, coupled with a 7% surge in the value of agricultural product exports to approximately $22.5 billion in 2021, exemplify the flourishing demand for agricultural products driving the biological seed treatment market.

Technological advancements emerge as key trends propelling the biological seed treatment market, with major market players prioritizing the introduction of cutting-edge technologies to fortify their market positions. Syngenta AG's May 2022 launch of VICTRATO®, a seed treatment harnessing novel technology such as the TYMIRIUM® technology, exemplifies this trend. The innovative treatment provides high performance and long-lasting protection against plant parasitic nematodes and key fungal diseases across various crops.

Leading companies in the biological seed treatment market are concentrating efforts on innovative soybean seed treatment solutions, aiming to gain a competitive edge. Notably, Helena Agri-Enterprises' launch of exclusive soybean seed treatments, 'Seed Shield® Select and Enertia®,' in October 2023 underscores this focus. Seed Shield Select, a combination of fungicides and insecticides, safeguards soybean seeds from insects and major seedling diseases while optimizing plant vigor and root health. Enertia, an enzyme-based biological seed treatment, enhances nutrient availability and soil health through VersaShield® Formulation Technology, ensuring stabilized enzyme activity for prolonged effectiveness, consistency, and ease of use. This concentrated effort in developing advanced seed treatments exemplifies the competitive edge sought by major players in the biological seed treatment market.
