North America Soybean Seed Treatment Market Analysis

The North America Soybean Seed Treatment Market size is estimated at USD 155.62 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 230.79 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.20% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The United States ranks as the world's second-largest soybean producer, with Canada holding the seventh position in 2023, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Soybean cultivation in the United States faces significant challenges from seedling diseases, primarily Phytophthora and Pythium, making seed treatment essential. Early-stage crop damage occurs from bean leaf beetle and thrips infestations, while root-knot nematodes impact crop development. In 2023, Sclerotinia stem rot (white mold) resulted in a yield loss of 32.3 million bushels (879 thousand metric tons) across the United States and Ontario, as reported by USDA.

The market growth is supported by technological improvements in seed treatment methods. Nematodes represent the primary cause of soybean yield loss in the United States, resulting in approximately USD 1.5 billion in annual losses for growers, according to BASF's quarterly report. In response, BASF launched Ponch Votivo Precise seed treatment in 2023, which develops a biological barrier along root growth to protect against various nematode species while promoting plant development. These factors indicate continued market growth in the future.
