Analyst’s Observation on Japan Seed Treatment Materials Market Survey

Japan is highly advanced in smart farming-related segments such as robotics and drones and has implemented several varieties of breakthrough technologies since 2019. As a form of seed treatment materials, three insecticide active ingredients, such as fenthion, benfuracarb and fenitrothion, are applied to safeguard rice seeds. These are designed into several ingredients to allow marketers to offer rice growers insect security for rice seeds. The Japanese seed treatment products in rice areas observed a slight expansion in the previous year with approximately USD 48 million at the manufacturer’s degree applied to around 1.54 million base hectares. The growth of smart farming practices predicts the growth of the Japanese seed treatment materials market size. KANEKO SEEDS CO., LTD. and Mitsui Chemicals are significant players in the Japanese market for seed treatment materials.

Seed Treatment Materials Market Growth Driver & Market Restraint

Growth Driver

Increasing demand for agricultural produce:

Seed treatment offers better germination and avoids seed & soil-borne illnesses in plants, leading to the production of healthy & high-yielding crops. Seed treatment safeguards seedlings and sprouting seeds in response to seed borne & soil diseases & pests. Increasing demand for agricultural produce propels the growth of the global seed treatment materials market size. Worldwide food intake – the main application of agricultural products – is anticipated to grow by 1.3%/year across the subsequent decade. Yearly consumption of agricultural and food products increased by 48% between 2001 & 2018 – more than twice the rate of expansion in the human population. Competing pressures of satisfying agricultural demand, maintaining livelihoods and guaranteeing economic advancement underline the significance of the requirement for systematic solutions such as seed treatment that maintains food security, livelihoods and economic flexibility.

Market Restraint

Stringent environmental regulation:

Several government organizations, entities and associations regulate the seed treatment sector and it includes the USDA & APSA. The organizations involved in the seed treatment segment are required to adhere the regulatory rules recognized by several agencies. These demands differ in between locations and makes it quite difficult to adhere to all of them. The active chemicals applied in seed treatment solutions need several approvals prior to the commercialization of the product, acting as a market restraint.

Seed Treatment Materials Market Regional Synopsis

North America is expected to dominate the Seed Treatment Materials market due to the expansion of distribution mediums. The distribution medium is broad, with products available with the help of a channel of distributors and directly to large-scale agricultural functions. Further, the clean crop technologies developed in Massachusetts have introduced a commercial cold plasma seed treatment facility, signed USD 3.4 million in purchase orders and have a sales and pilot pipeline worth USD 47 million in annual recurring revenue from organizations that denotes 39% of the worldwide vegetable seed market. The technological advancements in the seed treatment materials are another factor for its market growth. One such advancement is SeedAIxpert, which is the fastest digital seed testing system evaluating germination, seeds and seedling appearance quality, which comprises an imaging cabinet with lights and a camera connected to a computer to evaluate images with advanced image processing algorithms including machine learning. Key use is the evaluation of seed sprouting on moist paper, which comprises phenotypic evaluation of seedlings.

Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region due to the increasing agricultural output in areas, such as India and China. The farming productivity has continuously enhanced, with improved product supply volume. China ranks the highest in the world for the production of oil crops, grains, fruits, oil crops and aquatic products for several years in a row, indicating that the level of agricultural mechanization is constantly increasing. The trading size of farming products in China expanded from 27.9 billion US dollars to 3310.12 billion US dollars, a growth of around 11 times, with an annual growth rate of around 12.6%. Total food output has observed a stable increase in 2022, the population of China is registering for around 18% of the region’s total population. The total Chinese food output has reached 687 million tons, exceeding 650 million tons for eight continuous years. The total foodgrain output in India during 2023-24 is assessed at a record 3322.98 LMT, which is higher by 26.11 LMT than the manufacture of food grains of 3296.87 LMT attained during 2022-23.
