Segments - Global Chemical Seed Treatment Market by Applications (Fungicides, Insecticides, and Other Chemicals), Crops (Rice, Canola, Cotton, Soybean, Wheat, and Corn/Maize), Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, South America, and Middle East & Africa) - Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 – 2031
The global chemical seed treatment market size was USD 6.70 Billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 10.22 Billion by 2031 register at a significant CAGR 4.8% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. The growth of market is attributed to growing awareness amongst the farmers and supportive government policies and campaigns initiatives regarding the use of seed treatment.
During the crisis multiple seed banks were being managed by the governments of the nations, at the country as well as on district levels, in order to manage those seeds which are chemically treated, thus preventing seeds from rotting.
Seed treatment is generally opted by the farmers to protect their investment made on high quality seed, due to increase in foliar application of pesticides and issues regarding fumigation. With the increasing demand of high quality seeds it is anticipated that the cost of seed will spike up eventually, both legal authorities and the growers agrees on investing in seed treatment in order to acquire high quality seeds.
The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the seed treatment segment has been minimal, owing to the transportation barrier, where the lockdown created a disruption in most of the industries, all the agricultural activities are exempted from it, and thus corona virus outbreak had no such effect on the segment.
For the agrochemical companies COVID impacted in a positive manner as their profits skyrocketed almost in double-digits, due to panic purchase from farmers.
