04. Introduction

The quality of seeds is critical for agriculture. Cereals, pulses, vegetable and fruit seeds, and

oilseeds are cultivated on a large scale to meet the global demand for food. Technological

innovations have improved seed quality and selection and increased the availability of a wide

variety of seeds to suit specific conditions and geographies. The Global Seeds market is highly

dependent on the demand for agricultural products. With the rise in the global population, a

XXX percent increase in food production is estimated to be achieved by 2050 to keep up with

the food demand.

The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XXX percent during 2014-2019. The Grain Seeds

and Oilseeds is the largest product segment that held a market share of XXX percent in 2014.

However, the Fruit and Vegetable Seeds segment is expected to gain traction during the

forecast period. North America accounted for the largest share of the market in 2014 and is

forecast to retain its leadership in the future.

Factors such as increased adoption of GM seeds drive the growth of the market. Farmers are

adopting high-quality, high-performing GE and hybrid seeds to increase cultivation. A rise in the

global population is also contributing to the growth of the market.

However, apprehensions related to GM crops including food safety and security as well as

environmental concerns restrict the growth of the market. The rising costs of seeds also deter

sustained growth.

06. Market Growth Drivers

Some of the key drivers in the Global Seeds market are discussed below:


Driver 2

Driver 3

Driver 4


Increased demand for food production and a rise in agricultural challenges paved way for the

adoption of high-quality, high-performing GE and hybrid seeds. Vendors have increased

investment in R&D to improve the quality of seeds. Although traditional seeds occupy a large

market share, biotech seeds with better traits are gaining wide acceptance among farmers. In

the past two years, the market has witnessed an evolution of seed strains that increase

productivity and provide better yield, better resistance to insects and diseases, and high shelf

life. Therefore, increased demand for high-quality seeds is expected to drive the growth of the

Global Seeds market during the forecast period.




07. Market Challenges

Some of the key challenges in the Global Seeds market are discussed below:


Challenge 2

Challenge 3

Challenge 4

Reduction in Commodity Prices


Although the adoption of GM seeds has increased, many regulations are imposed on the

cultivation of GM crops because of ecological and economic concerns. These concerns have

led to objections, trade disputes, litigation, and restrictive legislation in countries such as the US,

India, and Brazil. It is alleged that GM foods can cause cancer, lead to genetic mutation, and

create resistance to antibiotics in humans, apart from other health concerns. These concerns are

hindering the growth of the market for GM seeds.




08. Market Trends

Some of the key trends shaping the Global Seeds market are discussed below:


Trend 2

Trend 3

Trend 4

Increase in M&A

Growing Adoption of Non-GM Seeds


The rise in global population has increased the demand for high-quality seeds with enhanced

productivity in the past couple of years. Cultivation of seeds with traits such as herbicide and

disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, modified quality pollination control system, and

insecticide resistance boosts market growth. Herbicide-resistant and insecticide-resistant seeds

held the largest shares in the market in 2014. A rise in cultivation of hybrid soybean and corn

seeds also fuels growth as these seeds are highly resistant to pests and herbicides. Vendors are

increasingly developing seeds with specific traits that enhance yield for market and minimize

losses in crop. The growing adoption of seeds with advanced traits is expected to propel the

growth of the market.




09. Vendor Landscape

09.1 Competitive Scenario

Seeds were traditionally produced by farmers and plant breeders belonging to the Public sector.

However, several private players have commoditized the market and used intellectual property

laws for the development of seeds. The Global Seeds market is highly fragmented with the

presence of many large and small players. The market is highly competitive because of an

increase in M&A. The top 10 seed companies occupy nearly 94 percent of the overall market

share. The biggest players frequently engage in cross-licensing agreements to expand their

market base. In addition, these players have increased their R&D investments to develop new

traits. Many companies provide products and services ranging from herbicides to data analytics.

They are cross-selling technology and bundling services to enable farmers to be cost-effective

and better equipped. Players will develop and provide improved traits, crop protection

products, biologicals, and various seed treatments.
