Plant Breeding Market, Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis and Forecast, 2024-2032
Global Plant Breeding Market will experience 12.8% CAGR from 2024 to 2032, fueled by technological advancements in biotechnological breeding techniques and increasing demand for high-quality oilseeds and pulses. Plant breeding has emerged as a critical solution to addressing global food security challenges, particularly as the world population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, as per the United Nations. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), global food production needs to increase by 70% by 2050 to meet this demand. The need for sustainable agricultural practices to meet this rising demand is driving investment in plant breeding innovations.
The overall Plant Breeding Industry is classified based on Type, Trait, Application, and Region.
The biotechnological breeding segment will witness substantial growth over the forecast period due to advancements in genetic modification, genome editing, and molecular marker-assisted breeding. These technologies enable the precise and efficient development of crops with improved traits such as higher yield, pest resistance, and climate adaptability. Biotechnological breeding is playing a key role in developing new crop varieties that meet the demands of a changing environment, offering a sustainable solution for modern agriculture. The adoption of these advanced techniques by research institutions and seed companies will drive market expansion.
The oilseeds and pulses segment will capture a dominant share of the plant breeding market by 2032. Rising consumer demand for plant-based proteins, driven by health and sustainability trends, is increasing the need for high-quality oilseeds and pulses. Additionally, these crops are critical for global food security and agricultural sustainability due to their ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. As a result, plant breeding programs focused on improving oilseeds and pulses are gaining traction, contributing to the growth of the overall market.
The Asia Pacific region will exhibit significant growth in the plant breeding market from 2024 to 2032. The region's large agricultural sector, growing population, and increasing demand for food security solutions are key drivers of market expansion. Countries such as China and India are investing heavily in agricultural biotechnology and plant breeding research to enhance crop productivity and resilience. Government initiatives supporting sustainable agriculture, coupled with the rising adoption of modern breeding techniques, are expected to bolster the market in the region over the forecast period.
