BIOTECH SEEDS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global biotech seeds market size stood at USD 46.3 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 49.73 billion in 2025, growing further to USD 87.75 billion by 2033 at an estimated CAGR of 7.4% from 2025 to 2033.

 The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with biotech seeds experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Sustainable development of food crops is now essential due to the growing population and the resulting rise in food consumption. The introduction of biotechnology in seed production and improved agricultural practices have boosted the global bio seeds industry, resulting in disease-free cultivation and higher yields. To support farmers' various demands across the farming industry, agricultural biotech companies like Monsanto, DuPont, and others offer proprietary seeds.

The development of commercial and bio seeds and crops has been prompted by the substantial lack of food caused by the rising global population. Additionally, the demand for bio seeds is growing, which puts more pressure on agricultural lands to produce more crops, such as maize, which is a crucial component in the production of ethanol. Other significant factors that are anticipated to fuel the biotech seeds market growth include rising demand for vegetables and vegetable oil and the increased consumption of animal food to feed the world's expanding herd of cattle.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Delay in Seed Supply Affected Market Growth

The pandemic made a negative impact on the market as the lockdown had a crippling effect on agriculture. The seeds are the first stage of agricultural production. The lockdown deliveries were not allowed, which affected the cultivation rate in the agriculture sector. The ban on transporting seeds internationally or domestically is backed by the decreased number of flights and other transportation. A delay in seeds supply was noticed, which delayed the production of crops. The production, labor, packaging, and transportation affected the market growth.

LATEST TRENDS

Steady Adoption of Advanced Farming Technologies to Drive the Market Trend

The development and steady adoption of advanced farming and cultivation technologies is expected to foster major growth in the market. The launch of new and advanced farming techniques is accounting for major traction in the market. Additionally, using advanced bio seeds prevents pests from harming crops. It also offers protection against fungus and diseases and offers a longer lifespan to the crops. Additionally, to overcome seed dormancy, bio seeds are employed to increase germination rates and provide uniformity. Biotech seeds are soaked in a specific way, supplying enough water to start the germination process' metabolic activities.
