Micropropagation Market Report 2024

The micropropagation market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.39 billion in 2023 to $1.53 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the demand for disease-free planting materials, efforts towards conservation of endangered species, crop improvement programs, globalization of agriculture leading to increased trade in plant materials, and growing awareness among growers about the benefits of using micropropagation for efficient plant production and conservation efforts.

The micropropagation market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.26 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the emergence of new plant varieties, expanding applications in biopharmaceutical production, heightened focus on sustainable agriculture practices, growth in biofuel and biomass production, supportive regulatory frameworks, and advancements in intellectual property rights protection. Major trends anticipated in this period include the increased integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technologies to enhance efficiency and precision in micropropagation processes, expansion into non-traditional crop species to meet diverse market demands, digitalization of micropropagation services for improved data management and analysis, expansion of contract micropropagation services to cater to specialized needs, and vertical integration within value chains to streamline production and distribution processes.

The micropropagation market is anticipated to grow due to advancements in horticulture. Horticulture involves cultivating plants for food, medicine, ornamentation, or aesthetic enjoyment and is expanding because of increased demand for diverse crops, sustainable farming practices, urban green spaces, and ornamental plants. This growth is driven by factors such as population growth, environmental concerns, and aesthetic preferences. Micropropagation plays a crucial role in horticulture by efficiently producing large quantities of disease-free plants with desired traits, ensuring consistency and genetic uniformity in crop production, ornamental gardening, and conservation efforts. For example, a report from the UK's Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs in June 2024 indicated significant increases in the value of home-grown vegetables, field vegetables, and protected vegetables in 2023, underscoring the sector's growth and importance.

Leading companies in the micropropagation market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as propagation systems, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of plant cloning and cultivation. Propagation systems encompass methods or techniques used to reproduce plants from seeds, cuttings, or other plant parts, enabling the production of genetically identical or varied individuals. For instance, NuPlant, an Australia-based biotechnology company, launched SmartClone in January 2023. This advanced plant tissue culture propagation system utilizes precision robotics to rapidly produce robust clones from parent material, tailored to specific growth phases. SmartClone aims to enhance plantlet quality and uniformity while reducing labor costs per plant.

In January 2022, Broad Sky Partners, a US-based private equity investment firm, acquired Thomas Scientific to strengthen its presence in the scientific equipment and supplies sector. This acquisition provides Broad Sky Partners with expanded market access, improved distribution networks, and increased market share. Thomas Scientific, based in the US, specializes in products related to micropropagation.

Micropropagation is a plant propagation technique involving the cultivation of plants from small plant parts, such as tissue cultures, under sterile conditions. This method enables rapid production of large numbers of genetically identical plants, and is widely applied in agriculture, horticulture, and forestry for efficient plant multiplication and conservation.

The primary crop types suitable for micropropagation include bananas, orchids, ornamentals, medicinal plants, vegetables, small fruits, and others. Banana micropropagation specifically utilizes tissue culture techniques to generate substantial quantities of banana plants from minute plant tissue samples. These cultures are typically maintained in test tubes, petri dishes, glass bottles, or plastic containers, and are distributed through both offline and online channels. End users of this technology include farmers, research laboratories, and other stakeholders involved in plant propagation and agriculture.
