The Europe seed coating materials market size was valued at USD 265 million in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 366 million by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising demand for coated seeds due to new agricultural skills, growing farmer’s awareness of the lucrative use of seeds, and the increasing requirement for seed treatments, all driving to increased agricultural production.
Seed coating, also known as a seed treatment or seed dressing, is a procedure in which nutrients, repellent agents, and pest control additives are directly placed on seeds to improve their speed performance. The seed is protected from infections as a result of this procedure. These materials can shield seeds against excessive heat, wetness, and cold, which can help the seed's capacity to grow into a healthy plant.
Seed coating promotes fast multiplication and timely crop production at lower costs. Seed coating is beneficial to both the ecosystem and the appearance of the seeds. Seed coating is used to ensure quick multiplication and timely delivery of crops at a reasonable price.
The European seed industry has developed a technique to ensure that seeds are treated safely against pests and diseases while using fewer chemicals. The European Seed Treatment Assurance Scheme (ESTA) provides complete support, from seed washing to field application of treated seeds. ESTA certifies and ensures that only seeds that match agreed-upon quality criteria are released onto the market. It is more cost-effective and environmentally friendly in terms of public health because it contains a lesser amount of chemical and active ingredients.
