The Global Biological Seed Treatment Market Size is Anticipated to Exceed USD 3.52 Billion by 2033, Growing at a CAGR of 11.27% from 2023 to 2033.

 

Market Overview

Biological seed treatment contains active components such as fungus, bacteria, plant extracts, algae extracts, and others. Biological seed treatment contains microorganisms utilized for preventing seeds towards seed and soil-borne diseases, hence this is the most appropriate solution to the chemical solutions. They are available in liquid and powder forms. Biological seed treatment attempts to guarantee that the goods are evenly coated on the surface of the seeds. Biological seed treatment serves as a biostimulant on crops, causing them to become healthier and grow faster. They also help increase crop yields by reducing biotic stress and strengthening the immune system to combat plant diseases. The application of biological seed treatment aids in the uptake and availability of plant nutrients in the roots of the plants. It also aids microorganisms in colonizing roots, so protecting the plants' roosts. The use of biological seed treatment decreases reliance on agrochemicals, lowering chemical exposure and minimizing environmental effects. All of these reasons contribute significantly to the global growth of biological seed treatment.

Driving Factors

The demand for biological seed treatment has increased dramatically as a result of widespread recognition of its advantages and growing concern about the environmental and health concerns connected with traditional chemicals. Chemical seed treatments are harmful to the ecosystem and constitute a significant threat to pollinators. Honeybees are considered to be extremely sensitive to neurotoxic insecticides. In comparison to synthetic chemicals, microorganisms used as active substances in pest management are typically harmless to the environment and non-target organisms. The biological seed treatment application in agricultural practices has greatly expanded due to its benefit in controlling diseases and infections that are soil- and seed-borne. Product considerations started to dominate chemical treatment as the demand for sustainable agriculture grew and the chances of surpassing residue constraints were reduced. Additionally, it is expected that the growing popularity of organic farming will have a direct effect on the income generated by the global biological seed treatment market.

 

Restraining Factors

A drawback of biological seed treatments is their higher cost compared to chemical seed treatments. Biological seed treatment expenses are higher per acre as compared to chemical seed treatment due to chemical seed treatment and seeds are manufactured in large quantities, lowering their cost per unit. Although biological seed treatment is more environmentally friendly, its protection is less long-lasting than chemical seed treatment. Furthermore, restrictions differ by region, making it difficult for producers to introduce the product. As a result, the reasons discussed above have a negative impact on the growth of the global biological seed treatment market.

 

Market Segmentation

The global biological seed treatment market share is classified into type, crop type, and function.

 

• The microbial segment is expected to dominate the global biological seed treatment market during the forecast period.   

Based on the type, the global biological seed treatment market is divided into microbial and botanical. Among these, the microbial segment is expected to dominate the global biological seed treatment market during the forecast period. These treatments use helpful microorganisms including bacteria, fungus, and viruses. They offer various advantages, including disease management, increased nutrient availability, and increased plant development. Microbials are frequently used because of their ability to protect seeds and seedlings from infections and pests.

 

• The cereals and grains segment is expected to dominate the global biological seed treatment market during the forecast period.   

Based on the crop type, the global biological seed treatment market is divided into cereals and grains, and fruits and vegetables. Among these, the cereals and grains segment is expected to dominate the global biological seed treatment market during the forecast period. Crops in this group are wheat, corn, rice, barley, and many more. Biological seed treatments for grains and cereals mainly aim at enhancing seed germination, disease resistance, absorption of nutrients, and crop yield.

 

• The seed protection segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global biological seed treatment market during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the global biological seed treatment market is divided into seed protection and seed enhancement. Among these, the seed protection segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global biological seed treatment market during the forecast period. In the early stages of seedling development, biological seed treatments to protect seeds offer focused management of specific pests and fungal diseases. Many crops are treated with biological seed treatments to manage various kinds of pests. It promotes consistent stand establishment by protecting against a variety of soil-borne diseases and insects.
