How is Surging Population Driving Demand for Seed Treatment?

It is a known fact that the population across the globe is increasing at a rapid pace, owing to which, the need for resources, including food products, is rising as well. In addition to this, the world is swiftly shifting towards urbanization, which means that the arable lands all over are decreasing. While the agricultural sector will never be moot, it has become necessary to increase the productivity in the sector for catering to the need of the growing population. Furthermore, since a lesser amount of land is now available for farming, the need for using new technologies for ensuring higher efficiency in the available space is growing as well. 

Because of all these factors, the adoption of seed treatments, which are the physical, chemical, and biological agents and techniques used for seed to offer protection and to enhance the establishment of healthy crops, is growing across farmlands. Since protection of plants from diseases and pests is one of the key factors for making sure that production is optimized, farmers are now using advanced ways, such as seed treatment, to increase productivity. Owing to these factors, the global seed treatment market is predicted to grow at a considerable pace in the years to come.

Diseases of seed have a negative impact on germination and can result in reduction in the yield, thereby leading to huge losses to farmers. Due to this, farmers are widely making use of seed treatment for protecting their crops. The different application methods of seed treatment are pelleting, coating, and dressing, out of which, the use of dressing application method is projected to be considerably high in the years to come. This is due to the substantially low cost of this application method. Seeds are treated with wet-treated with slurry or liquid formulation or dressed with dry formulation under this process, in an earthen pot. 

After this, the seeds are spread on a polyethylene sheet to sprinkle chemicals. Considering the geographical scenario, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to emerge as a major seed treatment market in the near future, which is primarily attributed to various agriculture-based economies in the region. These countries include China, India, and other Southeast Asian countries, Moreover, the need for increasing productivity on agricultural fields in the region is high due to the surging population. 

Hence, the need for increasing productivity and efficiency on agricultural fields is resulting in the growth of the market.
