Market Segmentation

The Global Seed Treatment Market share is classified into the type, application technique, function, crop type, and formulation.

In 2021, Chemical treatment segment is leading the market with the largest market share.

Based on the type, the global seed treatment market is segmented into chemical, and non-chemical. The chemical treatment segment held the largest share of the seed treatment market and is expected to grow further in the coming years. The reason behind the growth of chemical treatment is to provide a stronger repelling ability against insects, pests, and microorganisms as compared to non-chemical treatment products. The chemicals treatment segment takes less time to control plant diseases and pests as compared to non-chemicals.

 

The non-chemical treatment segment is estimated to exhibit considerable growth as these treatments are made up of renewable resources that contain naturally occurring active ingredients that protect against soil-borne pathogens, increase plant growth, and improve abiotic stress.

 

Seed dressing segment is witnessing the fastest market growth in the seed treatment market.

Based on the application technique, the global seed treatment market is segmented into seed coating, seed pelleting, seed dressing, and other application techniques. Among these, seed dressing is the fastest-growing segment in the upcoming years. It allows the seed to germinate quicker than non-treated seeds. The reason behind the growth is seed dressings promote early relations with usable and beneficial soil microorganisms than other application techniques. Among the other application techniques seed coating is expected to hold a significant share of the global market. The market growth is mainly credited to the factors like broad-spectrum usage of all crops along with the rising commercial value of seeds by enhancing their appearance of them.

 

seed protection segment is forecasted to witness the fastest growth in the seed treatment market.

On the basis of function, the global seed treatment market is differentiated into seed protection and seed enhancement. The seed protection segment is forecasted to witness the fastest growth in the seed treatment market. Seed protection provides a complete protection solution against different plant stressors. Seed protection treatments offer competitive costs, reduce application efforts, and save time compared to conventional crop protection.

 

Cereals segment is expected to hold the highest share of the market.

Based on the crop type, the global seed treatment market is segmented into Cereals, Grains, Oilseeds, Fruits & Vegetables. Among these, the demand for cereals is increasing as they have a wide range of applications in the food industry, hence cereals segment is expected to hold the highest share of the market. Fruits & Vegetables accounted for the second-largest market share because increasing demand for organic fruits and vegetables is driving the growth of the market in this segment.

 

Liquid formulation segment is anticipated to account for the largest share of the seed treatment market.

On the basis of formulation, the global seed treatment market is segmented into liquid and dry formulations. The liquid formulation segment is anticipated to account for the largest share of the seed treatment market. The reason behind the growth of the liquid formulation market is high usage by farmers due to easy handling, better seed coverage, better performance, and longer period effectiveness than dry formulation.
