[182 Pages Report] The Seeds Market size was estimated at USD 79.68 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 85.64 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 7.56% to reach USD 132.80 billion by 2030.

The seeds market comprises producing, distributing, and selling seeds for agricultural purposes, such as crop cultivation and livestock feed. These seeds include various types, such as cereals, oilseeds, vegetables, and other specialty crops. Developing new seed varieties with improved resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses and advances in biotechnology for resistance to pests and diseases are increasing the need for seeds. However, stringent government regulations related to approvals of new seed varieties GM crops and concerns regarding their impact on the environment and human health are hampering the growth of the seeds market. Furthermore, increasing government investments in agriculture research and innovations such as precision farming techniques are expected to create opportunities for the seeds market.

Seed Type: High preference for genetically modified seeds to boost agricultural yields

Conventional seeds are produced through traditional breeding methods, where plants with desired traits are naturally crossed to create offspring with those same characteristics. Farmers use these seeds for crop production due to their lower costs, ease of use, and proven track record. On the other hand, genetically modified (GM) seeds are developed using biotechnology techniques that involve altering the genetic makeup of plants at a molecular level. This process introduces desirable traits such as resistance to pests and diseases, tolerance to herbicides, and adverse weather conditions. GM seeds are preferred by farmers aiming to boost yields, cut down on the use of chemical pesticides, or grow crops in adverse conditions.

Treatment: Increasing usage of treated seeds in farming for better protection against physical and environmental barriers

Non-treated seeds are not treated with any chemicals or biological agents before planting. The primary advantage of non-treated seeds is that they provide an option for those who prefer organic farming. On the other hand, treated seeds are coated with chemical or biological products before planting to protect them from various pests, diseases, and environmental challenges during germination and early growth stages. Treated seed usage allows farmers to achieve higher yields by reducing losses caused by these factors, ultimately leading to increased food production and more efficient use of resources.

Traits: Growing need for insecticide-resistant seeds in sustainable agricultural systems to reduce crop losses

Herbicide-tolerant seeds are genetically modified to withstand specific herbicides. This allows farmers to use these herbicides selectively without harming the crops. The need for herbicide-tolerant seeds arises due to increasing weed pressure, which directly affects crop yield and quality. On the other hand, insecticide-resistant seeds possess inherent resistance against specific insects and pests that damage crops. They help to reduce crop losses and decrease the need for chemical insecticides, thus contributing to a more sustainable agricultural system.

Distribution Channel: Improving penetration of seeds on online channels for easy access and distribution

In the offline distribution channel, seeds are primarily sold through physical stores such as agro-dealer shops, supermarkets, and farmer's markets. Customers who prefer to physically inspect seed quality, seek advice from sales representatives, and make on-the-spot decisions are increasing the demand for offline stores. On the other hand, online distribution is growing due to rapid digitalization, wider access to Internet services, and increasing e-commerce adoption among consumers. Customers who prefer convenience, quick access to information about seed varieties, and the ability to compare prices across different providers often opt for online purchases.

Regional Insights

A surge in sustainable agriculture initiatives and organic farming practices has driven the demand for non-GMO and organic seeds in the Americas. The Americas is witnessing growth in demand for high-yielding and disease-resistant seeds due to changing climatic conditions. In Europe, key focus areas include breeding innovation and reduction of chemical inputs in agriculture as part of the European Green Deal and Farm-to-Fork strategy. The Middle East and African region are investing heavily in research to develop stress-tolerant crop varieties due to water scarcity issues and climate change concerns. The seed market in the Asia-Pacific region is primarily driven by the demand for high-quality vegetable seeds, promoting initiatives to increase the availability of certified seeds for farmers and technological advancements in the packaging and processing of seeds. The ongoing research and development for advancing disease protection and agricultural yields are expected to create growth opportunities for the seeds market in the Asia-Pacific region.
