サマリー

種子コーティング市場は、2022年から2027年にかけて年率8.4％で成長し、2027年には36億米ドルに達すると予測されています。人口の増加に伴い、食糧需要も増加しており、農業の生産性を高める必要性が生じています。政府の支援と、この市場における主要メーカーの存在が、種子コーティング市場の成長に寄与しています。
"シードコーティングは添加物分野で高い需要がある"
種子コーティング市場は、添加剤に基づいて、ポリマー、着色剤、ペレット、ミネラル/軽石、活性成分、バインダー、その他の添加剤にセグメント化されています。2021年の市場シェアは、ポリマーセグメントが6億5130万米ドルを占め、最大となった。これは、最も急速に成長している添加物セグメントの一つであり、着色剤と有効成分がそれに続きます。種子コーティングは、栄養素、保護剤、植物活性促進剤などの有効成分の重要な担体です。種子コーティング剤を使用することで、処理済み種子への有効成分の供給が促進されます。また、成分を種子に効果的に結合させることにより、農場での作業を最小限に抑えるだけでなく、環境に優しい基準を維持することができます。
"アジア太平洋地域は、種子コーティング市場の予測期間中に9.2%の成長を目撃すると予測されています。"
アジア太平洋地域の種子コーティング市場は、高品質な作物への需要の増加、耕作地の減少、人口の増加により、CAGR9.2%で成長しています。種子業界の企業は、種子の成長の各段階を支援することで、種子の成長を後押しする革新的な新製品を生み出すことに取り組んでいます。アジア太平洋地域の種子コーティング市場は競争が激しく、多くの国内企業や多国籍企業が市場シェアを競い合っています。消費者の間でブランドの存在感を高めるために大手企業が採用した戦略的アプローチとして、企業の合併、拡大、買収、提携、新製品開発などが重視されています。
