By additive type, the polymer segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market during the forecast period.

Among the additive types of seed coating, such as polymers, colorants, pellets, minerals/pumice, active ingredients, and others, the polymer segment accounted for the largest market share, followed by the pellets and colorants segments. Polymers are used on a large scale due to their functional qualities of improving the nutritive value of seeds and enhancing their appearance.

By crop type, the cereals & grains segment is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period.

Depending upon the crop types, the global market is projected to remain dominated by the cereals & grains segment, followed by the oilseeds & pulses, vegetables, and flowers & ornamentals segments. The cereals & grains segment is also projected to be the fastest-growing crop type in the global market. The trend of using coated seeds is rising on a large scale in regions that witness extensive production and cultivation of cereals, grains, oilseeds & pulses, and vegetables. This has contributed to the growth of the market for the mentioned crop types.

By active ingredients, the protectants segment is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period.

The active ingredients segment includes protectants, which is projected to record significant growth in the market. The increasing incidence of soilborne pests and diseases is one of the key factors that is projected to drive the growth of the market.


Countries in Europe are witnessing a high demand for biodegradable seed coating products, due to the regulations laid down by the European Union (EU) on chemical-based seed coatings, which result in the accumulation of non-degradable waste in the soil. Stringent regulations for coatings and increasing cost of raw materials are factors that are encouraging manufacturers to reduce production costs, affecting the final price of seed coating materials in the market.

key players identified in the seed coating market include BASF SE (Germany), Bayer (Germany), Clariant AG (Switzerland), Croda International PLC (UK), Sensient Technologies (US) BrettYoung Seeds Limited (Canada), Precision Laboratories LLC (US), Germain Seed Technology, Inc (US), and Centor Oceania (Australia).
