The future of the Indian seed industry is expected to be favorable on account of impelling demand due to increased subsidies and renewed government thrust on the use of high yielding varieties.

1. Concentrated Competition Among the Top 3 Players and Double Digit Growth in
the Market underscores the Potential of Seed Coating Market in India: Ken
Research

2. Seed coating industry of India is largely concentrated among a few
players. Major seed manufacturers like Nuziveedu Seeds, Ajeet Seeds,
Ankur Seeds, Syngenta, Monsanto, DuPont Pioneer, Mahyco and
others are purchasing bulk of seed coating polymers from players like
Incotec, Littles Oriental Balm and Pharmaceutical Ltd.

3. However, smaller players like Mahendra Overseas and Sampatti
Industries and Suboneyo Chemicals are also emerging in the market by
supplying large quantities of materials to small/medium sized companies
in the country.
The sector has been witnessing significant growth in recent years,
supported by several drivers such as the growing production of seeds,
expanding seed portfolio and growing threat from weather.
Polymers/Polymer Colorants have dominated the seed coating materials
market of India during FY’2016. Polymer coating is an integral part of the
seed industry in India. Majority of seed manufacturers with turnover of
INR 10 crores and above are suing polymer coating in their seeds.
Polymer coating seeds offer the benefits of safe handling by the workers,
farmers and dealers. They make sure seed treatments such as pesticides,
fungicide and nutrients are firmly held on the seed and therefore,
maximize the productivity of the seed and seedling active ingredients.

4. All the major seed manufacturers in India apply polymer coatings on
major commercial seeds such as cotton, maize, paddy, hybrid
vegetables and many others as it has several benefits.
In terms of crops, Cotton has accounted for the major share in the
seed coating market during FY’2016. In cotton seed, yield and
germination capabilities deterioration takes place rapidly under
ambient storage conditions. Film coating techniques have paved the
way for control of seed decay during storage. Use of newer molecules
protects the fungicides, insecticides and nutrients in the seeds.
Therefore, large number of seed manufacturers in the industry
prefers coating seeds with polymers and other materials. Majority of
cotton seeds are coated golden color in India.
