The global seed processing market size is expected to reach USD 22.62 Billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 10.7% during the forecast period. Steady growth of market can be attributed to increasing application of seed processing methods to cater to ever-increasing demand for high-quality seeds in agricultural sector. Seed processing methods enable development of healthier seeds with increased germination potential and this is expected to drive market revenue growth over the forecast period. Seed processing also facilitates improving seed quality which enables uniformity in fields and crop yields.

Seed processing enables uniform and improved marketing by offering improved packaging and storage and this has been boosting demand for seed processing in the sector. High moisture content in seeds requires application of seed processing technology to dry seeds and obtain optimal moisture content. Increasing need to eliminate undesirable materials, unwanted seeds of other crops, and damaged seeds has been boosting demand for seed processing technologies worldwide. Farmers and processors are extensively applying more innovative seed processing methods to minimize heterogeneity of seeds primarily caused by variations in soil properties such as chemical, physical, and biological properties. Increasing awareness among farmers regarding benefits of seed processing methods is expected to drive revenue growth of market over the forecast period.

Increasing investment by government to improve agricultural productivity and provide financial support to farmers is expected to further boost revenue growth of the market. However, increasing funding required for research and development activities, high labor costs, and increasing supply chain costs are some factors expected to restrain market growth over the forecast period.
