"Trends of coating that allows the growth of crops in salty soil uplifts the market growth."
The seed coating market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period from 2019 to 2027, starting from US$ 1.6 Bn in 2018.
Increasing crop spoliation and declining seed germination rates owing to the robust change in climatic condition has triggered seed coatings acceptance around the globe. The increasing research and development activities by the various government in agriculture is further expected to support the demand for the seed coating market. The report published in The World Economic Forum by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology researched a new silk-treated coating. The new silk-treated coating is capable of germinating in the unproductive soil by supplying essential nutrients to the germinated plants. The new silk coating is treated by bacteria that naturally produce nitrogen fertilizers. Thereby, it supports market growth.
Numerous benefits derived from seed technologies such as larger seedlings, improved uniformity, quick speed of emergence, and others are expected to drive the market during the forecast period. In addition, Agricultural productivity support provided by seed coatings on marginal lands is expected to drive the market growth. Growing seed replacement rate is another factor projected to uplift the market. However, uncertainty in climatic conditions and low yield crops in under-irrigated areas are expected to hinder the market growth over the forecast period.

Active Ingredients Analysis
"Loss in agricultural yield supports the market growth."
In 2018 protectants holds the largest share in the seed coating market and are expected to continue their dominance during the forecast period. As per the research study, it is estimated that about 10-15% of the world's agricultural production is lost annually, out of which 8% of production is lost due to insect infestation every year is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market.
Consumers are more inclined toward using biological seed protectants as alternatives to chemical seed treatment and protection. Additionally, the role of agriculture is considered prime in developing countries such as India, where GDP and population depend on agriculture, which increases the demand for seed protection products. Thereby increasing the demand of the segment.
