The global Triploid Watermelon Seeds market size was 440 million in 2022. As per our research, the market is expected to reach USD 653.8 million by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Triploid watermelon seeds are seeds of seedless watermelons, which are created through a process of cross-breeding between a diploid (normal, seeded) watermelon and a tetraploid (seedless) watermelon. The resulting triploid seeds are sterile, meaning they cannot produce viable offspring when planted. As a result, triploid watermelon plants do not produce seeds in the fruits, leading to the seedless characteristic that is favored by many consumers. To produce triploid watermelon seeds, breeders cross a diploid watermelon (with two sets of chromosomes) with a tetraploid watermelon (with four sets of chromosomes). The resulting offspring have three sets of chromosomes, making them triploid. The triploid seeds produced are typically non-viable, which means they won't germinate and grow into new watermelon plants.

Seedless watermelons, including triploid varieties, have gained popularity among consumers and growers due to their convenience and the absence of seeds. They have become a common choice in the market and are widely available during the appropriate growing seasons.

COVID-19 IMPACT: Export and Import Challenges resulted in Recession of the Market

COVID-19 had a life changing impact globally. The Triploid Watermelon Seeds market was significantly affected. The virus had various impacts on different markets. Lockdowns were imposed in several nations. This erratic pandemic caused disruptions on all sorts of businesses. Restrictions tightened during the pandemic due to increasing number of cases. Numerous Industries were affected.

COVID-19 led to disruptions in global supply chains, affecting various industries, including agriculture and seed production. Restrictions on movement and transportation, as well as labor shortages, may have impacted the production, packaging, and distribution of seeds, potentially leading to fluctuations in supply and availability of triploid watermelon seeds. International trade and movement of goods were affected by COVID-19 restrictions and regulations. For the triploid watermelon seeds market, this might have led to challenges in exporting and importing seeds to different regions, potentially affecting global trade and availability.

The pandemic might have impacted research and development activities related to agricultural improvements and seed breeding. Any delays or disruptions in these areas could have implications for the introduction of new and improved triploid watermelon varieties to the market.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Consumer Demand for Seedless Watermelons to Boost Market Share"

The primary driving force behind the triploid watermelon seeds market is the increasing demand for seedless watermelons among consumers. Seedless watermelons, including triploid varieties, are preferred by consumers for their convenience, easier consumption, and improved eating experience compared to seeded watermelons. Seedless watermelons offer various benefits to growers, including reduced labor and time required for seed removal during harvesting and processing. Moreover, triploid watermelons can help reduce the risk of cross-pollination with seeded watermelons, ensuring seedless fruit production. Watermelons are widely consumed around the world, and their popularity as a refreshing fruit during summers contributes to the demand for triploid watermelon seeds.

"Breeding and Research Advancements to Boost market Size"

Continuous advancements in breeding techniques and agricultural research have led to the development of improved triploid watermelon varieties. These varieties may possess desirable traits such as better flavor, texture, disease resistance, and improved shelf life, driving their adoption in the market. The awareness of the health benefits of consuming fruits like watermelons may drive the demand for high-quality triploid watermelon seeds that produce nutritious and flavorful fruits. The increasing demand for organic and non-genetically modified organism (GMO) products has extended to the watermelon industry. Consumers seeking organic and non-GMO options may drive the market for triploid watermelon seeds with these specific characteristics. These factors are anticipated to drive the Triploid Watermelon Seeds market share.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Breeding Complexity to Hamper Market Share"

Triploid watermelon plants require pollination by diploid watermelon plants (with seeds) to produce seedless fruits. Managing proper pollination can be challenging for growers, and inadequate pollination may result in seeded watermelons instead of the desired seedless ones. Triploid watermelon seeds are sterile and cannot be used to produce new plants directly. This means that growers need to purchase new seeds each planting season, increasing their dependency on seed suppliers and adding to the overall cost of production. Developing new and improved triploid watermelon varieties can be a complex and time-consuming process. It requires advanced breeding techniques and research investments, which may slow down the introduction of new varieties with desired traits to the market. The factors are anticipated to hinder the growth of Triploid Watermelon Seeds market share.
