LONDON, Nov. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Implementation of sustainable agricultural practices is driving the growth of the seed coating materials market during the forecast period. The sustainable agriculture practices include ensuring soil fertility and encouraging biodiversity, improving the ecological conditions and preventing pollution, consuming less non-renewable resources, supporting rural economic development, and raising people's environmental awareness and responsibility.  The sustainable agricultural practices are promoting the use of bio-based seed coating materials as these use ingredients such as microbes like fungi and bacteria, as well as plant extracts and algae extracts.

The global seed coating materials market size is expected to grow from $1.82 billion in 2021 to $1.97 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.02%. The growth in the market is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The seed coating materials market is expected to reach $2.72 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 8.42%.

BASF SE Was The Largest Competitor In The Seed Coating Materials Market In 2021

BASF SE was the largest competitor in the seed coating materials market in 2021, with a 40.18% share of the market. BASF's growth strategy focuses on expanding its manufacturing capabilities through strategic acquisitions. For instance, in August 2020, BASF acquired Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Ltd. Through this acquisition, the company aims to increase its alkoxylate production capacity in the Asia Pacific, especially China. Alkoxylation technology helps in the production of surfactants, which are used in industrial formulations such as raw materials for emulsion polymerization, plasticizers, polyurethane foams for the rubber industry, crop protection additives, and various other surfactants.
