種子著色劑市場 - 預測 2023-2028Seed Colorant Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028 |
種子著色劑是塗在種子表皮上的染料或顏料,透過用途或種子處理來區分它們。許多市售農作物、蔬菜、草和花卉種子都帶有彩色塗層,以區分不同的品牌、用途、遺傳特徵和技術進步。美國環保署等法規機構也強制要求在種子包衣中使用某些顏色。常見的種子披衣顏色的例子包括紅色、綠色和藍色顏料。
當處理大量種子時,使用種子著色劑來減少灰塵管理並改善種子流動。此外,它還可用作種子處理的高效粘性運輸劑,以增加種子與土壤的接觸、幼苗發芽和幼苗成活。當從飛機上散佈草種子時,種子著色劑還可以提高種子堆積密度,減少風漂並提高覆蓋作物的準確性。因此,隨著種子技術的進步,對種子處理的需求不斷增加,促進了全球市場的擴大。人口激增增加了對糧食作物和穀物的需求,對全球市場的運作做出了積極貢獻。此外,非基因改造種子和雜種種子的使用日益增加,為該行業的主要市場相關人員提供了重大機會。
儘管種子著色劑市場經歷高成長,但高價格、缺乏知識以及法規機構對特定和化學色素的使用的嚴格色素阻礙了預測期內全球市場的成長。
人口的顯著成長大幅增加了對高產量、有營養的糧食作物和穀物的需求,以供給社會食糧。因此,對經過化學處理的種子來保護作物免受害蟲侵襲的需求不斷成長,因為大量作物因害蟲侵襲而損失。糧農組織估計,每年世界農作物收成的20-40%因害蟲而損失。植物病害每年給全球經濟造成超過 2200 億美元的損失,而入侵昆蟲則給全球經濟造成約 700 億美元的損失。種子著色劑可以保護種子免受灰塵和其他微生物的侵害,通常應用於經過殺蟲劑處理的種子。
有利的政府機構和政策提高了農民對種子處理和技術的認知。例如,為確保所有主要農作物得到100%種子處理,印度政府在農業技術管理局、中央害蟲綜合防治中心、Krishi Vigyan Kendra 等農化行業組織和非政府組織的領導下,在全國範圍內啟動了各種活動、計劃和政策。
主要市場相關人員還推出了各種種子染料和顏料,以滿足對種子著色劑不斷成長的需求。例如,全球化工巨頭BASF於2021年6月推出了下一代種子處理包衣聚合物Flo Rite Pro 2805。它的創建是為了增加活性化學物質的附著和保留。
預計北美地區將佔據種子著色劑的重要市場佔有率。由於種子處理和包衣技術的快速進步,該地區將在整個預測期內經歷快速擴張。由於對高產、營養豐富的糧食作物和穀物的需求不斷成長,該地區的市場也在擴大。此外,關於正確使用種皮顏色的嚴格和強制性規定也推動了對種子著色劑的需求並刺激了區域市場的擴張。害蟲控制和法規機構要求在經過處理的種子上使用種子著色劑以及對高價值種子的需求不斷增加是推動加拿大種子著色劑市場擴張的關鍵要素。此外,Incotec、Clariant、Keystone Aniline Corporation 和BASF等主要市場參與者的滲透也推動了該地區種子著色劑的成長。
Seed colorants are dyes and pigments coated on the seed's skin to differentiate them based on application and seed treatment. To distinguish distinct brands, uses, genetic features, and technological advancements, many marketed row crop, vegetable, grass, and flower seeds are sold with colored coatings. Regulatory bodies like EPA have also made it mandatory to use certain colors to coat the seeds. A few examples of common seed coat colors include red, green, and blue pigments.
When large amounts of seeds are handled, seed colorants are used to decrease dust management and improve seed flowability. Additionally, they can be used to increase seed-to-soil contact, seedling emergence, and seedling survival by acting as efficient, highly sticky transporters for seed treatments. Seed colorants also improve the bulk density of the seeds for fly-over applications of grass seeds from aircraft, resulting in less wind drift and more precision for cover cropping. Therefore growing demand for seed treatment, along with progress in seed technology, is contributing to the global market expansion. The population boom has resulted in burgeoning demand for food crops and grains, positively contributing to global market operations. In addition, the rising use of non-GMO and hybrid seeds has provided massive opportunities for key market players in this industry.
Even though the seed colorant market is witnessing high growth; however, high prices, lack of knowledge, and stringent rules by regulatory bodies regarding the use of specific and chemicalized colors are hampering the growth of the global market during the projection period.
Significant population growth has led to a huge demand for high-yielding, nutritious food crops and grains to feed society. This has led to a growing demand for chemically treated seeds to protect them from any pest attacks as huge amounts of crops are lost due to pest attacks. FAO estimates that between 20 and 40 percent of the world's crop yield is lost each year to pests. Plant diseases cost the world economy over US$220 billion annually, and invasive insects cost the economy about US$70 billion. Seed colorants protect the seed from dust and other microbes and are usually applied to insecticide-treated seeds.
Favorable government schemes and policies have raised awareness among farmers regarding seed treatment and technologies. For instance, to ensure that all major crops receive 100 percent seed treatment, the Indian government launched a nationwide campaign, schemes, and policies under organizations from the pesticide industry, including the Agricultural Technology Management Agency, Central Integrated Pest Management Centres, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, and NGOs.
Key market players have also launched various seed dyes and pigments to meet the growing demand for seed colorants. For instance, the next generation of coating polymers for seed treatments, Flo Rite Pro 2805, was introduced by the global chemical powerhouse BASF in June 2021. It was created to increase the adherence and retention of active chemicals.
North American region is anticipated to hold a substantial market share in seed colorant. This region will experience rapid expansion throughout the projection period due to the rapid progress and seed treatment and coating technologies. This region's market is also expanding due to the growing demand for high-yielding and nutritious food crops and grains. Moreover, stringent and mandatory rules regarding the correct use of color on seed coats are also propelling the demand for seed colorants, fueling regional market expansion. The mandated use of seed colorants on treated seeds by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency and the increased demand for high-value seeds are the main drivers of the Canadian seed colorant market's expansion. In addition, the prevalence of key market players such as Incotec, Clariant, Keystone Aniline Corporation, BASF, and others also spur the growth of seed colorants in this region.
