Agricultural Biotechnology Market Dynamics:
Rising genetically modified (GM) crops globally is estimated to drive the growth of the market in the forecast period. As genetically modified allows the growth of crops with higher characteristics like high nutritional content, increased food processing characteristics such as high nutritional food processing quality increased resistance against pest control and diseases, high yield, nitrogen fixation, and improved strength to withstand any harsh climatic condition. Besides, the genetically modified food market is gaining more attention globally, which is further estimated to stimulate market growth.
Moreover, the agriculture industry is highly adopting genetically modified products due to high demand in the market and increased sustainability of crops. As per International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Application (ISAAA) around 2.14 billion hectares of biotechnology crops have been developed commercially from. This includes 0.13 billion hectares of biotechnology canola, 1.04 billion of biotechnology soybean, and 0.34 billion of biotechnology cotton. Further, this factor is estimated to stimulate the growth of the market in the forecast period.
In addition, market players are investing a huge amount in developing their product portfolio to sustain in the market and to grab more attraction in the market. For instance, in , KWS SAAT SE and CO. KGaA launched new hybrid corn varieties in the Brazilian market with good yield potential and high resistance to a broad range of pests. Hence, market players are further estimated to increase the agriculture biotechnology market in the forecast period.
Agricultural Biotechnology Market Segment Analysis:
The Plant is dominating the Organism segment of the Global Agricultural Biotechnology Market:
The plant segment is estimated to gain a larger market share in the global Agriculture biotechnology market. Plant segment is further classified into conventional techniques, established genetic modification, and new breeding techniques. The conventional technique is estimated to dominate the market with a larger market share in the forecast period as huge alteration activities are carried out to alter genomics in plants and animals. Moreover, genetic engineering plays an important role in agriculture biotechnology, due to the development of genetically modified plants and has controlled genetic changes produced in the organism.
In addition, genetic modification, and tools used in biotechnology have enabled the transfer of a gene from one species to another species to generate more output in the agriculture sector as genetic engineering is widely performed on new crops to increase crop potency. This factor is estimated to create more demand in the forecast period.
The Transgenic Crops & Animals segment is considered to supplement the growth of the Global Agricultural Biotechnology Market.
The transgenic crop segment is dominating the application segment of the global agricultural biotechnology market. The key factors attributing to the growth of the market are improvement of nutrients in plants, increase crop yield, reduce cost for food production, low pesticides application, enhanced nutrient composition and food quality, greater, food security, and medical benefits together with resistance to pest and disease control. Transgenic technologies are likely to increase nutritionally beneficial qualities, with high-yield crops and these factors are likely to increase the genetic modification in plants and animals.
In addition, transgenic animals include benefits like enhanced prolificacy and reproductive performance, increase feed utilization, and growth rate, together with improved carcass composition, improved milk products, and composition. These factors are likely to gain a larger market share in the market and boost the application of biotechnology in the agriculture sector.
