Improving Seed Replacement Rate in Developing Countries Drives Market for Process Equipment Market for Seed Industry

Process equipment market for seed industry includes processed seed market and seed processing equipment market. Seed processing is the refining stage of the post-harvest seed to prepare the seed for sowing or replanting, in the agricultural industry. The seed processing equipment includes the set of equipment required to make the harvested seed commercially available. The equipment considered includes those for grading, sorting, and treatment of the seed, which make it ready for sowing.

The processed seed market is organized and dominated by few large players such as Bayer (Germany), The Dow Chemical Company (US), Monsanto (US), Syngenta (Switzerland), and KWS Group (Germany), while seed processing equipment market is competitive and fragmented, with large-scale seed equipment manufacturers, such as Cimbria (Denmark), PETKUS Technologie (Germany), Lewis M. Carter Manufacturing (US), Westrup (Denmark), and Alvan Blanch Development Company (UK). The processed seed market is projected to reach USD 91.32 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2017 and seed processing equipment market is projected to reach USD 3.25 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2017.

The key market players in process equipment market for seed industry adopted investments and strategic alliances among many important strategies-expansions, new product launches, mergers & acquisitions, agreements, partnerships, joint ventures, and divestments-with other players to strengthen their businesses, to explore new and untapped markets, expanding in local areas of emerging markets, and developing a new customer base for long-term client relationships.

he cereals & grains segment accounted for the largest share during the forecast period in the processed seed market.

In 2017, on the basis of crop type, the cereals & grains segment accounted for the largest share, in terms of both value and volume. Cereals & grains are the staple food for a majority of the population and form a major source of energy, especially for livestock. The global processed cereal seed market is driven by the growth in population, increase in income levels, higher seed replacement rate in areas under cultivation, R&D breakthroughs, utilization for biofuel production, and intensive agriculture practices, followed by farmers to increase yield and productivity.

Coaters: The fastest-growing equipment type in the seed processing equipment market

In 2017, the coaters segment is estimated to account for the third-largest share of the seed processing equipment market in terms of value; this is projected to grow at the highest CAGR through 2022. The increasing awareness about the benefits of seed coating with various pesticides, insecticides, and biologicals has increased the demand for the coated processed seed products and thus boosted the demand for coaters in the developing countries.

North America dominated the processed seed market, while Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share in the seed processing equipment market

North America is one of the most technologically advanced regions. The seed processing & equipment market here is growing constantly due to the rising demand for quality raw material by the food chains, along with increasing demand of commercial seeds by the farmers for better yield in this region; Asia Pacific is witnessing promising growth in the production of processed seed in the past years due to increasing awareness about the benefits of commercial seed, especially in countries such as India and Indonesia. The demand for seed processing equipment is also projected to grow in the region.
