The global genetically modified foods market size was USD 105.16 billion in 2021 and the market is expected to reach USD 169.21 billion in 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.25% during the forecast period. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the genetically modified foods market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Created from animals or plants whose DNA has undergone genetic manipulation, genetically modified foods, sometimes known as GM food, is food. These GMOs—genetically modified organisms—are frequently abbreviated. By transferring DNA from other organisms, for instance, genetic engineering is the method of directly altering an organism's genes. It differs from the traditional approach of raising animals and plants intentionally to obtain desired features. Since the launch of "Flavr Savr" tomatoes in 1994, which were created to mature more gradually, modified foods have been sold in the US.

The market for genetically modified (GMO) food is anticipated to generate substantial revenues by expanding at a sizable CAGR throughout the forecast period. The market is expected to expand as a result of a number of factors, including the expanding demand for nutritive and functional foods, the increased production of genetically modified crops, and the rising investment in biotechnology research & development. According to estimates, the functional food market would bring in about USD 320 million in 2022, up from USD 265 million in 2020. Aside from this, it is also possible to grow modified products with little pesticide use, which is expected to spur market expansion in the near future.

COVID-19 Impact: Decline in Sales and Production of the Food due to the Strict Regulations Imposed

Global health problem COVID-19, which has injured almost every business, is anticipated to have long-term effects on the development of the market for genetically modified crops during the anticipated time frame. COVID-19 has also messed up the supply chain. Several industries weren't able to function efficiently as a consequence of the closure, and numerous of them also had delays in receiving the raw supplies they needed. The stock shortfall led to loss of sales. There was a decline in the sales and production of GMO foods as a result of the COVID-19's strict regulations paired with a labor shortage.

Latest Trends

"Acquisition of Business to Broaden Market Share and Increase Clientele"

Bayer CropScience Limited successfully acquired Monsanto India Limited for $63 billion in September 2019. This transaction was made in order to increase Bayer's clientele and market share in India. The firms intend to keep the Monsanto product names while adding them to Bayer's product line. Prior to the takeover, the 1949-founded Monsanto India Limited was a subsidiary of the American biotechnology company Monsanto.

Driving Factors

"Advantages Offered by the GMO Products Propel the Market Expansion"

There are numerous health advantages of eating modified food. In contrast to non-modified food, genetically engineered food neither causes cancer nor gastrointestinal discomfort. The genetic makeup of items containing genetically modified foods is such that it has no impact on people's health. The modification is made to improve nutritional value, improve food flavor, and reduce allergic reactions to certain food products. These characteristics are propelling the market ahead, and this is anticipated to last beyond the forecast time. Additionally, government strict controls on the use of pesticides or hazardous poisonous substances in agricultural goods is another element projected to advance the market since most pesticides frequently leave a deposit on plants and have a negative impact on human health.

"Changing Consumer Taste and Variety of Application in the Beverage Sector is Anticipated to Favor the expansion of the industry"

It has an advantage in the worldwide market since genetically modified foods can be utilized to produce a variety of food products. In the beverage and food processing industries, among many others, genetically modified products is employed. Demand for GMO is being favorably influenced by changing consumer taste preferences as well as the need for nutrient-rich diets. In addition, the variety of applications within the food and beverage sector is a prominent factor anticipated to favor the expansion of the market for modified foods during the projected period and afterwards.

Restraining Factors

"Governments Restrictions on the Ingestion of Modified Food is a Significant Factor Impeding the Market’s Blooming"

Government restrictions on the ingestion of modified food or commodities are a significant factor impeding the genetically modified foods market growth. In the US, for instance, three organizations—the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States Department of Agriculture, and the Food and Drug Administration—regulate transgenic crops from several angles.  A genetically modified crop from each body has been confirmed by each major player in the market. Genetically modified industry expansion is being restrained by consumer demand for non-GMO food and organically grown food.
