Biological Seed Treatment Market Analysis
The Global Biological Seed Treatment Market size is estimated at USD 1.20 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 2.01 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 10.80% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
COVID-19 caused challenges with respect to a temporary pause in manufacturing and supply chain disruption. Nevertheless, post the lockdown in the first few weeks, manufacturing action was allowed for essential goods with agrochemicals, including seed treatment pesticides classified under essential goods in many countries. Therefore, the impact of COVID-19 on the market studied is anticipated to be short-term. Due to panic buying by farmers, agrochemical firms have had double-digit profits compared to the previous year.
The increasing use of natural treatment methods is witnessed as an environment-friendly option for treating seeds. The increasing use of bio-priming techniques for improved productivity, increasing trend of organic farming, and players investing more in R&D activities to design biological products are driving the global market for biological seed treatment. Nevertheless, government regulatory barriers, high biological seed treatment costs, and low availability are hampering the agriculture enzyme market. Based on function, the global market has broadly been segmented into seed protection and seed enhancement. Biological seed treatments aimed at seed protection deliver targeted control of certain pests and fungal diseases during the early seedling stage.
Additionally, biological seed treatments are used on multiple crops, like grains and cereal, oil seeds, and vegetables, to control a variety of pests. The expanding agricultural practices and requirement for high-quality agricultural produce are factors that are projected to drive the biological seed treatment market growth in this region. Further, the government policies adopted by developed countries for the ban on key active ingredients are the major factors promoting the growth of this market in the Europe region. Hence, the increased adoption of environment-friendly options, the trend of organic farming, and a favorable regulatory environment are anticipated to drive the growth of the market studied during the forecast period.
