The market is estimated at US$155.6 million in 2016 and is further forecast to post a robust CAGR of 9.7% during the 2017-2022 period. With an estimated 2015 share of 88.6%, the United States represents the largest Canola seed treatment market in North America, though Mexican demand is primed to register the fastest 2017-2022 CAGR of 9.6%.
Market Dynamics
The market for seed treatment gains in significance due to a number of factors, prominent among which are agronomic trends that comprise development of high quality seeds through the enhanced potential offered by genetically modified organisms (GMOs), changes in climatic conditions, increasing rates of crop rotation, flexibility in sowing approaches and greater pressure from regulatory requirements. Primary requirements of seed treatment include capability of offering good protection during the germination period, supporting early plant development and enhancing stress tolerance at an early stage. These can be achieved by improving the quality of seed treatment products that offer ease of application at low rates. In short, it may be summed up that the foundation for the future lies in the concept of innovation in seed treatment.
