Major Drivers
One of the primary drivers of this growth is the rising awareness of the importance of sustainable crop production. As the global population grows and environmental concerns such as climate change become more pressing, the need for resilient crops that can withstand extreme weather conditions, pests, and diseases is becoming increasingly urgent. Sustainable agriculture, which emphasizes efficient use of resources and minimizing environmental impact, is gaining traction worldwide. This shift in focus is increasing the demand for innovative plant breeding techniques that can improve crop yields and reduce the need for chemical inputs.
The decline in the costs of genomic technologies is another significant factor contributing to the market's growth. Over the past decade, advances in genome sequencing and editing have led to a significant reduction in the costs associated with genetic research. These technological improvements have made it more feasible for companies and researchers to engage in sophisticated plant breeding projects, driving the adoption of molecular breeding methods such as genetic engineering and genome editing. These methods allow for precise manipulation of plant genomes, enabling the development of crops with desired traits such as disease resistance and drought tolerance.
In addition to these factors, the market is being fueled by increased investments from seed companies. As the demand for high-yield, high-quality crops continues to rise, seed companies are investing heavily in research and development to stay competitive. These investments are driving innovation in the plant breeding industry and facilitating the commercialization of new crop varieties. Furthermore, governments in various regions are implementing supportive regulations that encourage the adoption of advanced breeding techniques, further accelerating the market's growth.

Method: The market is divided into conventional and biotechnological breeding methods. Conventional breeding methods include hybridization and selection techniques, while biotechnological methods encompass hybrid breeding, molecular breeding, genetic engineering, and genome editing.
In 2022, biotechnological breeding methods are expected to dominate the market, driven by the increasing adoption of hybrid and molecular breeding techniques and the growing cultivation of genetically modified (GM) crops. The declining costs of genetic engineering and genome editing are also boosting this segment, as these methods offer precise control over the development of specific traits in crops.
Trait: The plant breeding market is also segmented by traits such as herbicide tolerance, disease resistance, temperature tolerance, and drought resistance. In 2022, herbicide tolerance is expected to hold the largest market share, driven by stringent regulations on the use of chemical pesticides and the rising prevalence of pest attacks during early crop stages. Herbicide tolerance has been a key focus for plant genetic companies, leading to innovations such as BASF SE's Non-transgenic Clearfield technology.
Application: The application segment of the plant breeding market includes cereals grains, fruits vegetables, oilseeds pulses, turf ornaments, and other crop types. In 2022, cereals grains are expected to account for the largest share of the market, driven by the increasing demand for staple crops such as maize, wheat, and rice. The economic importance of these crops, particularly in the food industry, and the availability of advanced breeding techniques are supporting the market's growth in this segment.
Geography: Geographically, the plant breeding market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East Africa. North America is expected to lead the market in 2022, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific. The region's dominance is attributed to the presence of key market players, significant investments in research and development, and a high adoption rate of genetic modification techniques, particularly in the U.S. The large areas under maize and wheat cultivation, coupled with the growing demand for GM varieties, are further driving market growth.
