Plant breeding and CRISPR plants denote a system employed in plant breeding involving site-directed nucleases that precisely target and modify DNA. Together, CRISPR and plant breeding enhance desirable crop attributes by incorporating DNA from naturally occurring genetic variations within the crop. This technology and its diverse applications span from gene function and protein localization research to the introduction of specific traits such as drought tolerance and increased grain size and quantity.
The primary categories of plant breeding and CRISPR plants include conventional breeding and other methods. Conventional breeding involves modifying the genetic makeup of crops to yield plants with improved features. This process includes identifying parent plants with desirable traits to create favorable combinations. Plant breeding and CRISPR techniques encompass various processes such as selection, hybridization, mutation breeding, and others, which are employed in breeding cereals and grains, oilseeds and pulses, fruits and vegetables, and other crops.

This plant breeding and CRISPR plants market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The plant breeding and crispr plants market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $13.56 billion in 2024 to $15.59 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing global population, crop disease outbreaks, food security concerns, regulatory changes, globalization of food trade.
The plant breeding and crispr plants market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $26.65 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investment in R&D, rising demand for organic and non-GMO products, climate-smart agriculture, rise in plant-based diets, global water scarcity. Major trends in the forecast period include customized crop varieties, adoption of blockchain technology, multi-trait editing, AI and machine learning in breeding, digital phenotyping.
The anticipated surge in demand for improved crops is expected to drive the growth of the plant breeding and CRISPR market. This necessity arises from the need to meet the challenges of a changing world, marked by an increasing global population, climate change, and diminishing land availability. To address these issues, new and innovative crop growth techniques must be developed. Plant breeding and the CRISPR method are continuously working towards enhancing crop yield, quality, and resistance to diseases and pests. An example of this commitment is evident in the investment made by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), a U.S. federal government body, which allocated over $14 million in February 2022 for plant breeding in agricultural production and conventional plant breeding. The goal is to improve crop varieties, making them more productive, higher in quality, and more resilient to environmental variations. Consequently, the increased demand for improved crops is expected to propel the growth of the plant breeding and CRISPR plant market.
The rising environmental concerns are anticipated to drive the growth of the plant breeding and CRISPR market. These concerns include various issues such as the degradation and depletion of natural resources, pollution, climate change, and other factors that threaten ecosystems and human well-being. Plant breeding and CRISPR technologies promote sustainable agriculture by developing crops with improved resilience, reduced resource needs, and better adaptability to changing climatic conditions. For example, in December 2023, the School of Sustainability at Stanford University reported that global carbon dioxide emissions are projected to exceed 40 billion tons in 2023, representing a 1.1% increase compared to 2022. As a result, the increasing environmental concerns are driving the growth of the plant breeding and CRISPR market.
Major companies in the plant breeding and CRISPR market are granting open rights to genome-editing and breeding technologies to foster innovation, promote collaboration among researchers, and facilitate the development of sustainable agricultural solutions that enhance crop resilience and improve food production efficiency. For example, Syngenta is offering rights to its proprietary technologies, with a particular focus on optimized CRISPR-Cas12a and gene-editing-enabled breeding tools. This approach enables researchers to make precise genetic modifications without introducing foreign DNA, thereby streamlining the development of enhanced plant varieties. In June 2024, Syngenta Crop Protection AG, a Switzerland-based company, announced the availability of its genome-editing and breeding technologies. This initiative is supported by Syngenta's collaboration platform, Shoots by Syngenta, which aims to connect academic institutions, research organizations, and Syngenta's extensive network of scientists. The platform is designed to encourage partnerships that tackle agricultural challenges, including climate change.
Prominent entities in the plant breeding and CRISPR market are strategically emphasizing product launches, such as the deployment of gene editing technology to combat corn disease. Gene editing technology comprises a set of tools enabling precise alterations to an organism's DNA. In October 2023, Corteva Agriscience, a global agricultural company based in the United States, unveiled Gene Editing Technology for addressing corn disease. This innovative approach employs gene editing and CRISPR technology to consolidate multiple disease-resistant traits within the corn genome. The outcome simplifies disease management, thereby enhancing on-farm productivity. Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this sustainable solution exemplifies how a customized approach and improved allele access contribute to addressing specific challenges in agriculture, fostering crop resilience.
In November 2022, Bayer, a Germany-based multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology company, completed the acquisition of Targenomix, accelerating the development of sustainable crop protection solutions. This strategic move enhances Bayer's standing in the plant breeding and CRISPR market by providing augmented expertise in systems biology and access to novel technologies. Targenomix GmbH, the acquired German biotechnology company, played a crucial role in this strategic expansion.
