How has the seed coating market evolved, and what factors have shaped its growth?
The increasing crop yields are expected to propel the growth of the seed coating market going forward. Increasing crop yields is attributed to advancements in agricultural technology, improved crop varieties, better soil management, efficient irrigation systems, and effective pest and disease control. Seed coating enhances crop yields by providing seeds with protective treatments, nutrients, and growth-promoting agents that improve germination, plant health, and resistance to pests and diseases, leading to stronger, more productive crops. For instance, in February 2024, according to the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs, a UK-based government agency, total cereal production, including wheat, barley, oats, and minor cereals (such as rye, triticale, and mixed grain), reached nearly 24.3 million tons in 2022, marking an 8% increase from 2021. Therefore, the increasing crop yields are driving the growth of the seed coating market.
