Global Seed Industry - Segmented by Product, Crop, and Geography - Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2022 - 2030)
The expanding world population, rising adoption of biotech crops across the world, an increase in the usage of biofuels and animal feed, and growing land reclamation for agricultural purposes are the major growth factors driving the seed market. On the other hand, the lower adoption rate of GM crops in various countries, coupled with their lengthy approval time, extensive research and time involved in stabilizing and introducing new seed varieties with novel traits, and consolidating the seed market are the major constraints for the industry.
Growing Demand for Grains, Oil, and Vegetables
Grains represent the biggest portion of daily calorie intake in developing countries of the Middle East & Africa, Asia/Oceania, and CIS, and therefore, the demand for grains is going to be one of the most important drivers of the market studied. According to the USDA’s baseline projections, the developing countries’ share of the projected growth includes 83% for grains and oilseeds. Furthermore, the developing countries' demand for agricultural products is expected to increase faster than their production. As a result, these countries may account for 92% of the increase in total grains and oilseeds import.
Rapid Adoption of Biotech Crops
Biotech crops are considered to be the fastest adopted crop technology in the history of modern agriculture. Thus, GM seeds have a high potential for growth during the forecast period. In 2016, around 26 countries grew 185.1 million hectare of biotech crops, registering an increase of 3% (5.4 million hectare), from 179.7 million hectare in 2015. GM seeds with stacked traits have gained prominence over the recent years, and have increased from 58.5 million hectare in 2015 to 75.4 million hectare in 2016, a 29% increase, equivalent to 16.9 million hectare.
North America to Dominate the Market Growth
North America seed industry dominated the global seeds market, with a share of around 35%. The United States and Canada dominate the market share for the seed market in the region. Asia-Pacific has been identified as a region, which is yet to reach its maximum potential in the global seed domain. The Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market, recording a CAGR of around 8.2% during 2018 - 2023.
