Seed coating materials market has witnessed significant growth in the past few years due to rising awareness about the protection of seeds. Seed coating protects seeds from external threats like pests, fungus, moisture loss or gain which helps in enhancing germination. Seed coating materials like polymers, colorants, binders and other additives form a thin film around seeds without hindering seed metabolism. This film protects seeds and enables uniform sowing. With technological advancements, new eco-friendly materials are being developed for coating seeds without hampering their quality and viability. Rising demand for high value crops along with limited agricultural land is propelling the need for seed treatment.

Market Dynamics:

Seed coating materials market growth is driven by the rising demand for food security due to growing population, shrinking agricultural land and effects of climate change. Seed coating helps in improving germination rates and crop yields. However, over-dependence on synthetic materials for seed coating poses risks on environment and human health which acts as a major restraint. Ongoing R&D in the development of bio-based and organic seed coating materials presents high growth opportunities in the coming years. Advancements in seed pelleting and coating technology allows uniform treatment of seeds, increased productivity and optimized usage of seeds which is another key opportunity. Fluctuating prices of raw materials affects the overall cost of seed treatment and acts as a challenge. Moreover, volatility in raw material prices poses a major challenge. Nonetheless, development of bio-based and organic seed coating ingredients as well as their increasing adoption present significant opportunities for market players in the coming years.
