Market Definition
Biological seed treatments are a wide class of products with active ingredients, including living microbes, plant extracts, fermentation products, phytohormones, and even hard chemistry. Biological substances are applied to the seed in the form of a powder or a liquid. A uniform coating covers the entire seed. The seed is available to the beneficial ingredients when it needs them in this way. Active agents in biological seed treatment can include microbes such as fungi and bacteria, as well as plant extracts and algal extracts. Beneficial microorganisms from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, Trichoderma spp., rhizobia, and other bacteria are applied to seeds before sowing to improve germination. A crop treated with biological seed functions as a biostimulant making it stronger and more productive. The treatment increases agricultural yields while assisting plants in fending diseases and reducing biotic stress. The microorganisms that support plant growth colonize the roots and shield the crop throughout the entire growing season. The applications of microbial based biological seed treatment are diverse.
North America Microbial Based Biological Seed Treatment Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:
Drivers
-
Increase in launches of biological plant growth products for agriculture
An increase in the number of launches by the manufacturers of biopesticides such as bioinsecticides, bionematicides, biofungicides, bioherbicides, and others is one of the major driving factors for the market growth. The demand for organic or natural and biological products for agriculture practices is increasing among the farmers with the growing awareness regarding the harmful effect of chemical pesticides on crops and the environment. This factor will propel the growth of the market. The farmers are adopting pesticides extracted from natural sources and decomposing easily to increase productivity and support the environment by reducing pollution.
For instance,
-
In March 2021, according to Meister Media Worldwide, Botanical Solution Inc. and Syngenta launched a biofungicide product in Mexico named BotriStop, which helps in controlling Botrytis cinerea
-
In March 2020, according to AgroSpectrum India, Bayer AG launched Serenade, a biofungicide in China
-
In April 2020, Syngenta collaborated with Novozymes to commercialize a biofungicide named TAEGRO
The increase in the number of launches by the major manufacturers with the growing demand for natural and biological seed treatment products among farmers to support the sustainable farming practice may drive the growth of the microbials based biological seed treatment market.
Opportunities
- Strategic initiatives taken by companies
The use of microorganisms as biological alternatives is becoming increasingly crucial due to the growing public and regulatory pressure to reduce the use of chemical pesticides. Microorganisms can function as biostimulants and effectively against various pests by making it easier for plants to access and absorb soil-bound nutrients, boosting their tolerance to environmental stress, and assisting them during different growth phases.
Companies are making strategies, launches, and plans to fulfill consumer demands and raise awareness toward sustainable agriculture, providing more opportunities for manufacturers to expand.
Companies in Vietnam have always focused on introducing innovative solutions to help farmers tackle challenges in their daily activities and, at the same time, increase crop yields and quality while being environmentally friendly. Launching new products and technologies harness innovation and address challenges in agriculture.
For instance,
- In June 2022, Syngenta launched its new seed treatment product VICTRATO. The revolutionary nematode control product VICTRATO is based on Syngenta's TYMIRIUMTM technology and offers a creative approach to the challenging issue. All major nematode species and fungal diseases are efficiently controlled without compromising the health of the soil or plants. It is a very simple product with a minimal active ingredient dosage
- In March 2022, Evonik's introduced BREAK-THRU Products for seed treatment applications. BREAK-THRU BP 787 is a biodegradable, microplastic-free substitute for conventional binder solutions. BREAK-TRHU BP 787 functions as a binding component when combined with silica (such as Aerosil 200) because of its miscibility with water
- In July 2021, Rizobacter and Marrone Bio expanded their strategic alliance to provide a new seed treatment in Brazil. Rizonem, a biological seed treatment for nematodes and soil-dwelling insects, will be available in Brazil's row crops through an expanded distribution arrangement. The effectiveness of Rizonema against important nematode species in soybeans and corn has been demonstrated in numerous regulatory trials in Brazil.
Thus, companies' strategic innovations and new products to meet consumer demands promote market growth in the forecast period.
Restraints/Challenges
- Government Regulatory barriers for biological seed treatment products
Different nations and regions have different regulatory environments for active biological components. In some countries, biologicals must be registered under specific laws, or they could be registered similarly to chemical plant protection products. Sometimes there are fewer data requirements, and other times there might not even be a clearly defined registration process. The EU demands that a biopesticides product's efficacy be quantified and demonstrated to support label claims. Only permitted biopesticides can be lawfully utilized for crop protection. According to OECD recommendations, biopesticides should only be approved if they pose little risk.
Furthermore, the biopesticides registration data portfolio required by the regulator is typically a modified version of the one in existence for conventional chemical pesticides. It is utilized by the regulator to perform a risk assessment. It contains details on the method of action, toxicological and ecotoxicological assessments, host range tests, and other factors. The cost of producing this data may discourage businesses from commercializing biopesticides, which are often niche market products.
Therefore, not having an appropriate system for biopesticide registration ensures the safety and does not inhibit commercialization which may negatively impact the microbials based biological seed treatment market.
Post COVID-19 Impact on North America Microbial Based Biological Seed Treatment market
Post the pandemic, the demand for biological seed treatment has increased as there won't be any restrictions on movement, so the supply of products would be easy. In addition, the growing trend of using bio-based organic and natural seed treatment products may propel the market's growth.
The increased demand for microbials based biological seed treatment enables manufacturers to launch innovative and multifunctional seed treatment products, which ultimately increases the demand for microbial based biological seed treatment and has helped the market grow.
Moreover, the high demand for biological seed treatment products will drive the market's growth. Furthermore, the increased demand for organic and natural products after the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in market growth, as consumers were more concerned about their health. Additionally, consumers' interest in new technologies and multipurpose products is expected to fuel the growth of North America microbial based biological seed treatment market.
