[188 Pages Report] The seed processing market is estimated at USD 9.1 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 16.6 billion by 2025, recording a CAGR of 10.6% during the forecast period. This is driven by the increased trade of processed seeds at the global level, growing awareness among farmers in emerging countries of the Asia Pacific region pertaining to the advantages of seed treatment, and the rise in investment from governments and companies.
By type, the seed treatment segment is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period.
Based on type, the seed treatment segment is estimated to account for the largest share in the seed processing market in 2019. In Asia Pacific, particularly in countries such as India, farmers are replacing seeds saved from previous crops with advanced seeds developed by seed companies. The rise in demand for hybrid seeds due to factors such as increasing middle-class population, rise in disposable income, and the growth in the food processing sector is projected to drive the market in the developing countries across regions. Seed treatment products usually include insecticides, bactericides, and fungicides. It provides enhanced crop cultivation at a relatively low cost as compared to spraying, which makes it one of the preferred treatments for seeds. Thus, seed treatment manufacturers are projected to witness significant growth in developing countries.
By crop type, the cereals & grains segment is projected to dominate the market for seed processing during the forecast period.
Based on crop type, the cereals & grains segment is estimated to account for the largest share in the market in 2019. Cereals & grains constitute the staple food products in many countries. It includes wheat, rice, corn, sorghum, oats, and barley. Of these cereals & grains, rice is consumed as a staple food for consumers in many developing countries. It is majorly consumed in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Corn is consumed on a larger scale in the US, with the country being the largest producer of corn at the global level. Thus, increasing awareness of the benefits of seed processing, such as enhanced seed germination and protection from pathogens, is a key factor that is projected to drive the growth of the cereals & grains segment in the market.
Increase in global trade for processed seeds to drive the market growth
According to the International Seed Federation (ISF), in 2015, nearly 3.9 million tonnes of seeds were traded globally, valued at USD 10.0 billion. The growing international trade due to the trade agreements between various regions and countries has created growth opportunities for manufacturers in different industries, including seeds. The increase in demand for high yield and premium quality seeds across regions has also led to an increase in the trade of processed seeds. Manufacturers are focusing on processing and developing high-quality seeds and serve customers across regions. For instance, developing countries, such as China and Brazil, are price-sensitive, as they are less aware of the quality of seeds. However, farmers in developed and mature markets, such as the US, Germany, and other European countries, mainly focus on the quality of seeds while making purchase decisions, which has led to an increase in demand for processed seeds. Thus, the increase in the import and export of seeds in developed and developing countries is projected to drive the demand for processed seeds. According to the FAO, in 2017, the US witnessed a significant increase in the import and export of seeds. European countries, such as the Netherlands, Germany, and France, have also witnessed a considerable rise in the seed import and export. Thus, increasing commercial seed trade is projected to play a key role in the seed processing market.
