Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of biological seed treatments, rising demand for broad-spectrum disease protection, growing use of combination fungicide formulations, expansion of precision seed coating technologies, enhanced focus on early crop establishment.

The rise of organic farming is expected to drive the growth of the seed treatment fungicide market. Organic farming is an agricultural approach that emphasizes sustainable and environmentally friendly practices for crop cultivation and livestock management. These practices often include integrated pest management (IPM), which incorporates preventive measures such as seed treatment, increasing the demand for eco-friendly seed treatment fungicides. For example, in May 2023, according to the Organic Trade Association, a US-based industry organization, total organic sales - including non-food products - reached $60 billion in 2022 and surged to a record $67.6 billion by 2023. This growth was supported by a 0.8% increase in the area of fully organic land. Therefore, the expansion of organic farming is propelling the seed treatment fungicide market.
