Global demand for seed binders is expected to reach a market valuation of USD 30 million by the year 2023, accelerating at a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period (2023 to 2033). Seed binders are basically the glue that holds/binds the coating on the seed.
The success of seed coating mainly depends upon the application of seed binders that adheres to the coating on the surface of the seed. The market is supported by:
The seed binder also known as seed sticker requires great precision while applying it to the seed. Too much binder can hold the seed coating too tight which may delay the germination of the seed and too little amount of binder can crack or chip the seed. During planting these cracked seeds can jam the hopper which may cause gaps and skips. Therefore, a precise amount of seed binders is key to the seed coating adhesion.
While evaluating seed binders, it is important to study its impact on seed germination, because the wrong ingredient available in the seed binder may cause the seed inert. The definite composition of the seed binders enables it to be used in the seed pelleting process with reduced chemical input. The seed binders to be used depend upon the type of seed coating such as film coating, seed dressing, and pelleting.
For pellets, the binder to be used will be the adhesive that will hold the various powders together. The binder to be used for thin film coating will be the major film-forming component in the coating. There are some seed binders than can work for both pelting and film coating.
Seed binders can also hold ingredients such as pesticides, nutrients, and biological products. It is very important to select proper seed binders so that there can be good compatibility with other additives. The seed binder brand offered by a key player Centor Oceania called Seedworx offers good compatibility with biological products.
Key producers are working on manufacturing seed binders in order to gain a greater market share. Manufacturers are working hard for research and development of innovative offerings to serve a large customer base and that will allow the seed binders market to grow.
Hence, manufacturers are adopting strategies such as mergers & acquisitions to expand their global footprint and to their product portfolio. Further, a number of international market participants are entering into acquisitions and mergers and implementing new technology to increase commercial capacity to gain a major revenue share.
For instance, Royal DSM, a global science company, and Amulix, a developer of starch-based solutions for agricultural and industrial applications and daughter company of Dynaplak, announced that they will work together under the company name DSM-Amulix. DSM-Amulet will further develop high-performing, bio-based coating solutions for agricultural starter material, under the brand name Amulix.
The company will be located in Zwolle, the Netherlands, and maintain a global presence through DSM. DSM-Amulix will address the need for a sustainable alternative to the current widespread practice of using polymer-based synthetic coatings with limited biodegradability on seed to improve sowability and seed visibility in the soil and to apply Crop Protection Products on seed. DSM-Amulixs innovative bio-based seed coatings outperform current coating suppliers on germination, dust-off, and total performance.

The seed treatment such as the application of seed binders is an eco-friendly and very efficient method to protect the seeds against vermin present on the field and common crop diseases. The seed coating process includes the application of seed binders which is a sustainable and environment-friendly process because it decreases the amount of insecticides and fungicides to be applied to the crop field or the seeds.
The insecticide releases toxic residue in the air and in the soil which negatively affects the environment. The seed coatings with seed binders promotes environment-friendly cultivation of seeds which is required to meet the growing demand for crop-based food and it is a necessity for modern and sustainable agricultural food production.
Key players in the seed industry are focussing on introducing seed binders in their product portfolio.
Principal Consultant
According to Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), North America and Europe dominate in the seed market, therefore it is expected that the demand for the seed binders will be more in these regions and may drive the market.
The grains are the major source of calorie intake in the Asia-Pacific region which is increasing the demand for seed binders to increase production with less adverse impact on the environment. The market for seed binders in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to hold significant share due to the increasing health-conscious trend of consuming plant-based food produced from the seed among the consumers, this in turn will demand seed binders.
The Middle East and Africa are expected to hold a low share in the seed binders market owing to the unawares about the modern seed treatment technologies such as seed binders.
