Biological Seed Treatment Market to Witness Unprecedented Growth in Coming Years

The report "Biological Seed Treatment Market by Type (Microbials and Botanicals), Crop (Corn, Wheat, Soybean, Cotton, Sunflower, and Vegetable Crops), Function (Seed Protection and Seed Enhancement), and Region - Global Forecast to 2025", is projected to reach USD 1.7 billion by 2025, from USD 0.9 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 11.9% during the forecast period. The market is driven by factors such as high demand for sustainable agriculture in the global market, lesser risks of exceeding pesticide MRLs, and insurance to seed investments.


Opportunities: Use of bio-priming techniques for improved efficacy

Bio-priming is a process of a biological seed treatment that refers to a combination of seed hydration and inoculation of the seed with microbes. In most cases, microbial inoculants, such as plant growth-promoting rhizo-microorganisms (bacteria or fungi), are used for the purpose of bio-priming of seeds. It is an environment-friendly ecological approach using selected microorganisms that enhance plant growth by producing plant growth-promoting substances, enhancing nutrient uptake, or protecting seedlings/plants against soil-/seed-borne plant pathogenic organisms. The use of such techniques is on the rise as chemicals used for seed treatment mostly act as contact fungicides that are unable to protect the plants from foliar pathogens during the later stages of crop growth.


Challenges: Inconsistent performance and incompatibility with certain pesticides

The features of biological seed treatments that have discouraged investment are their inconsistent results. The most common problems encountered during the usage of such products include desiccation and environmental conditions that discourage their growth. Successful inoculants with one crop may not work as effectively with another crop. For instance, Trichoderma is more effective for the increase in yield in tomatoes than cucumbers. Choosing just one or two microbes is not as effective as loading with an entire community. However, effectiveness can sometimes be increased by a combination of microbes, with various growth requirements. For instance, fungi can be combined with PGPR.

By type, microbials segment is projected to dominate the seed treatment market during the forecast period.

The biological seed treatment market, by type, has been segmented into microbials, botanicals, and others (biofermentation products and natural polymers & derivatives). The microbials industry dominated the market in 2020, due to the increasing demand for microbial seed treatments, in field crops such as soybean and corn.

Many key companies, such as Bayer AG (Germany), Syngenta Group (Switzerland), and Corteva Agriscience (US), offer iinovative biological seed treatment solutions for controlling seed and soil-borne diseases in a broad range of crops. This exponential growth in this North America region is attributed to government subsidies, increasing need to improve and protect food production, and rising awareness of biological seed treatment.

The report "Crop Protection Chemicals Market by Type (Herbicides, Insecticides, Fungicides & Bactericides), Origin (Synthetic, Biopesticides), Form (Liquid, Solid), Mode of Application (Foliar, Seed Treatment, Soil Treatment), Crop Type and Region - Global Forecast to 2025", The global Crop protection chemicals size is estimated to be valued USD 63.7 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach a value of USD 74.1 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period. The growth of this market is attributed to an increasing need for food security of the growing population.




Opportunity: Rapid growth in the biopesticides market and organic agriculture

Biopesticides are pesticides produced naturally, with the minimum usage of chemicals. Since growing environmental considerations and the pollution potential and health hazards from many conventional pesticides are on an increase, the demand for biopesticides has been rising steadily in all parts of the world. Biopesticides are growing in popularity, due to their less or non-toxic nature as compared to synthetic pesticides. Moreover, biopesticides provide a more targeted activity to desired pests, unlike conventional pesticides that often affect a broad spectrum of insects, birds, and mammalian species. Further, biopesticides can be very effective in small quantities, offering lower exposure, and are quickly decomposable; they leave virtually no harmful residue after application.


Challenge: Environmental impact resulting in changes in regulatory policies

One of the major challenges faced by the crop protection chemicals market is the development of Genetically Modified (GM) crops, with the evolution of biotechnology and microbiology. New GM seeds can be developed through gene modification to provide them with the natural ability to be pest repellent. This, development of genetically modified crops in recent years, especially for pest resistance has been observed to have resulted in a relatively lesser need for traditional crop protection chemicals.

The herbicides segment of the Crop protection chemicals is projected to account for the largest share, by type

Herbicides are substances that kill or inhibit the growth of unwanted plants (weeds). They are widely used in weed control, which helps in enhancing crop productivity and quality of output. Herbicides help in reducing soil erosion and increase soil fertility and crop yield. They are used to control or kill unwanted plants and are often known as weed killers. The use of herbicides in agroecosystems may change the composition of weed populations. In wildlands, herbicides may increase the diversity of native species. Threats to plant biodiversity caused by habitat loss and invasive species are far greater than threats by the use of herbicides. Some non-selective pesticides are used in weed waste grounds, industrial sites, railways, and railway embankments. Herbicides are heavily consumed in the agricultural sector and in landscape turf management.

South America is estimated to hold the largest market share during the forecast period

South America is an emerging agricultural powerhouse, growing at a rapid pace above the global growth average. Growth in this region is significantly contributed by the growth in Brazil and Argentina, which are the world’s most potent agricultural producers and are expected to grow well above the regional average. The economic growth in South America has been stimulated by democratization, economic reforms, and the foundation of the two trading blocs namely, Mercosur and the Andean Pact.


The regulatory framework in South America is quite weak as compared to North America and Europe. The South American Pesticide Action Network controls the regulatory issues in the region. The international trade system from the WTO for regional and bilateral trade deals also undermines national pesticide laws and threatens the ability of South American nations to prohibit dangerous chemicals from being used. This is especially observed in the case of WTOs demand for establishing certain common minimum standards for pesticides among countries. For instance, if a country wants to implement a stricter standard on pesticides as compared to the WTO, it could be recognized as a technical barrier to trade.

Starter cultures have been used in dairy applications for a long time. During the manufacturing of cheese, yogurt, butter, and kefir, starter cultures are used for the fermentation process to take place. The drop in pH, which takes place when the bacteria ferment lactose to form lactic acid, has a preservative effect on the product, while at the same time improving the digestibility and nutritional capabilities. Yogurt starter cultures are used to ferment (lactose) to produce lactic acid. This process helps in the formation of milk clots, which are a characteristic of yogurt. Cheese starter cultures mostly consist of thermophilic bacteria, which aid in lactic acid production during the industrial manufacturing of cheese. In addition, acid production is the main factor in the expulsion of moisture from the cheese curd and helps in improving the quality and texture of the cheese produced.
