The demand for biological seed treatment has significantly increased as a result of high awareness of their potential and the growing attention to the environmental and health risks associated with conventional chemicals. Chemical seed treatments are detrimental to the environment and pose a serious risk to pollinators. The neonicotinoid class of insecticides is considered highly toxic to honeybees. Microorganisms employed as active substances in pest management are recognized as generally safe for the environment and non-target species, in comparison with synthetic chemicals.

The Microbial segment is projected to be the largest and fastest growing type of biological seed treatment market during the review period, in terms of value.

The biological seed treatment is categorized into two types namely microbial and botanicals. The microbial segment accounted for the largest share in the global biological seed treatment market due to the higher demand for biofungicides and bioinsecticides. These microbial seed treatments is carried out by beneficial microorganisms which can reduce the fertilizer and pesticide applications and increases the yields, with economical price.

Fastest-growing segment by function: Seed protection segment

On the basis of function, the global market has broadly been segmented into seed enhancement and seed protection. Biological seed treatments aimed at seed protection provide targeted control of certain pests and fungal diseases during the early seedling stage. Biological seed treatments are used on multiple crops to control a variety of pests. It ensures uniform stand establishment through defense against numerous soil-borne pathogens and insects.
