Seed treatment chemicals play an important role in diagnosing and controlling pre-season diseases and insect attacks. These chemicals assist in improving crop stand establishment and vigor capacity. Seed treatments chemicals provide effective control against early season, below-ground, and above-ground pests and diseases. Effective utilization of insecticide and fungicide seed treatment products enables uniform seedling emergence, healthier crops, and reduced insect and disease damage. Emerging seed treatment techniques compose of significantly lower amount of active ingredients, making them environmentally sustainable. Increase in adoption rate of seed treatment chemicals and growth in awareness regarding advancements in seed treatment technologies are likely to boost the demand for seed treatment chemicals in the next few years. Biostimulant seed treatment chemicals offer naturally originating active ingredients that stimulate the physiological processes of crops. This promotes crop growth and high productivity. Biostimulant seed treatment chemicals encourage crop growth by enhancing the nutrients available in the soil. Metabolites and assorted natural ingredients in biostimulant seed treated products reduce biotic and abiotic stresses in crops occurring due to drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures. A paradigm shift in utilization rate of biostimulant seed treatment chemicals over pesticide foliar sprays is likely to augment the global seed treatment chemicals market. Thus, improvement in seed treatment active ingredients, advancement in farming practices, enhanced plant growth, and improvement in crops’ stress tolerance are factors projected to boost the demand for seed treatment chemicals during the forecast period. North America is a major region of the global seed treatment chemicals market. The U.S. is a key producer and consumer of seed treatment chemicals. Presence of large number of seed treatment chemical manufacturers and seed processors in the U.S. is expected to drive the seed treatment chemicals market in the country. The U.S. is the leading producer and exporter of wheat, corn, and soybean across the globe. Increase in utilization rate of seed treatment chemicals in the U.S. owing to their high crop harvest is estimated to boost the demand for seed treatment chemicals. India, China, and Australia are agriculture-derived economies. These countries are prominent agricultural hubs in Asia Pacific. Advancements in agricultural techniques pertaining to seed treatment chemicals, cultivable land, and suitable climatic conditions are projected to yield high crop output in these countries. Thus, the seed treatment chemicals market in Asia Pacific is likely to expand at a fast pace during the forecast period. Rapid growth in agricultural activities in Argentina and Brazil is expected to provide an impetus to the demand for seed treatment chemicals in these countries. Major players operating in the global seed treatment chemicals market include BASF SE, Bayer AG, DowDuPont Inc., FMC Corporation, Germains Seed Technology, Nufarm Limited, Platform Specialty Products Corporation, Syngenta AG, UPL Limited, and Valent U.S.A. LLC (Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited). These players are engaging in strategic collaborations and acquisitions of local seed treatment chemical manufacturers in order to strengthen their market share. Some of these prominent players are focusing on new product developments by reinforcing their products with new active ingredients.
Increased Adoption of Seed Treatment Chemicals Drives Demand Opportunities for Manufacturers Seed treatment chemicals refer to biological, chemical, and physical agents applied to seeds with an aim to prevent and control insects, pests, rodents, and disease organisms.
