Biological seed treatment procedures involve the use of microorganisms as biological agents to keep the seeds safe from pathogens as opposed to the conventional method of using chemicals. Biological seed treatments rely on active ingredients, including living microbes, fermentation products, plant extracts, and phytohormones. These products improve the availability of nutrients in the rhizosphere, promote nutrient and water uptake, optimize nutrient utilization, foster shoot and root growth, and protect plants from pathogens.
Seed treatment represents an effective mode of delivering biological products due to the proximity of these products to the root system from the beginning. Proximity holds critical significance for microbes or microorganisms that depend on the relationship with roots and the rhizosphere community. Biological seed treatments are used independently or with chemicals to improve efficiency and enhance yield potential.
There has been an increase in the use of bio-based products as more farmers transition to organic farming due to the increased demand for organic and chemical residue-free products. The rising demand for organic food and the need for sustainable farming practices creates lucrative opportunities for players operating in the biological seed treatment market. Therefore, although organic food products account for only a fraction of the overall food sales, the segment is rapidly expanding out of the niche market, with the benefits expected to accrue to the biological seed treatment market.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on this market were felt in China starting in 2020, as the country is one of the world's largest raw material suppliers for the biological seed treatment industry. Most European and North American biological seed treatment companies imported key active ingredients used in producing biologicals, mainly from China and other Asian countries. The current crisis being persistent suggested low availability of raw materials as the cropping season progressed.
However, in 2021, there has been strong growth in the seed treatment industry across the globe due to the growing need for higher yields in crops such as corn, cotton, and soybeans. Therefore, major companies such as Bayer AG (Germany), BASF (Germany), Corteva Agriscience (U.S.), and Syngenta AG (Switzerland) have resumed their production operations to ensure the smooth supply of their products to dealers and distributors. In addition, commodity prices are expected to be high in 2022, encouraging growers to invest in products that help them increase yields and profitability. Its beneficial properties, such as ease of handling, stimulating plant growth, promoting soil biodiversity, and addressing specific issues, such as nitrogen fixation in legumes, are expected to boost the demand for microbial seed treatment in the market. Also, growing awareness about environmental safety and rising government initiatives are expected to offer significant opportunities for microbial seed treatment during the forecast period.

Based on formulation, in 2022, the liquid formulation segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the biological seed treatment market. The large share of this market is mainly attributed to factors such as uniform & easy application of liquid formulations, better performance, and higher effective duration (up to 6 months) than dry formulations (up to 3 months). Moreover, the product and operator safety aspects compared to dry formulations are the key factors attributed to the growth of this segment.
Based on application technique, the seed dressing segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period of 2022—2029. The fast growth of this segment is mainly attributed to its highly effective and beneficial properties for farmers and the environment. It also provides a wide range of benefits, including improved seedling vigor through added nutrients, faster germination, extended growing season, improved nutrient uptake, enhanced root development, and protection against disease, temperature, and excessive moisture/drought. Thus, all these factors increase the adoption of the seed dressing technique.
Based on crop type, in 2022, the cereals & grains segment is expected to account for the largest share of the biological seed treatment market. This segment’s large share is mainly attributed to the growing demand for cereal & grains for food & feed with the growing population and increasing industrial applications such as animal feed, biofuel, and starch & ethanol production.
