Seed Coating Materials Market Size

Seed Coating Materials Market size was valued at around USD 2.5 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to surge to USD 5.9 billion by 2037, registering a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast timeline i.e. 2025-2037. In 2025, the industry size of seed coating materials is estimated at USD 2.6 billion. The growth can be attributed to more affinity for precision agriculture, a growing concern over crop yield improvement, and environmental sustainability. Seed coating enhances crop yield by nearly 15-20% when combined with the standard package of practices, with increasing profitability.

Furthermore, the demand for organic and specialty crops with supreme quality is constantly rising, thus presenting opportunities for growth in the seed coating materials market. This trend is contributing to the development of improved crop varieties that have the potential to increase productivity by 50–90% while, ideally, tending to meet the requirements of the end-user. In addition, the changing perception towards the adoption of coatings, more protection, nutrient delivery, and safety against pests and diseases can be facilitated.

Moreover, advances in biotechnology in the seed coating materials market have included pest-resistant seed varieties that have helped fortify crop resilience. For instance, in September 2021, the multi-event SmartStax technology, by Bayer and Dow AgroSciences was made commercially accessible for the growing season of 2022. In settings with medium to high corn rootworm pressure, it offers an additional instrument to help minimize damage caused by corn rootworms. This results in the qualitative crop harvesting of farmers and leads to profit maximization.
