The seed market was valued at $58.5 billion in 2020, and is expected to reach at $105.3 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.5% from 2022 to 2031. Seed is a small embryonic plant enclosed within a covering known as seed coat. Seed formation completes reproduction process in plants with the development of the embryo from zygote and seed coat from ovule integuments. Seed serves numerous functions for plants such as nourishment of the embryo, dormancy during unfavorable conditions, and dispersal to a new location. Larger food reserves present in the seed helps the seed grow faster as compared to sporeling from a spore. Hybridization, molecular marker-assisted breeding, and gene insertion technologies are some of the agricultural market developments, which are expected to boost the growth of the seed market.
Necessity to increase food production, sophistication of seed technologies such as seed pelleting & seed coating, new product offerings, and growth in usage of biofuels & animal feed are the major factors that drive the market growth globally. In addition, modernization of agriculture and increase in land reclamation for agricultural purposes supplement the market growth. Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to growth in population and rise in demand for new and enhanced agricultural products. Introduction of special schemes to increase productivity in the region resulted in surge in usage of quality seeds that provide high yield. Market liberalization to ensure proper availability of high-quality and high-yielding seeds to Indian farmers and flexibility of norms while exporting products to overseas play a crucial role in growth and development of the market. However, extensive research and prolonged approval time involved in the development of enhanced seed varieties with novel traits and lower acceptance of GM crops in various countries limit the market growth. Technological innovation and diversified demand for various crops in developing economies are anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for market expansion.
The seed market is segmented on the basis of type, crop, availability, seed treatment, seed trait, and geography. According to type, the seed market is divided into genetically modified (GM) seed and conventional seed. On the basis of crop, it is classified into field crops and fruits & vegetable crops.

Executive Summary
According to a new report titled, “Seed Market by Type, Crop, Availability, Seed Treatment, and Seed Trait: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2022–2031,” The seed market size was valued at $58.5 billion in 2020, and is expected to reach at $105.3 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.5% from 2022 to 2031. The field crops segment was dominant in 2020, accounting for more than half of the seed market share, in terms of volume.A small embryonic plant enclosed within a protective covering is known as a seed. Seed serves various functions for plants, such as nourishment of the embryo, dispersal to a new location, and dormancy during unfavorable conditions. Timely availability of high-quality seeds in appropriate quantity determines the strength and health of agricultural economy. Sophistication of seed technologies such as seed pelleting, rise in usage of biofuels & animal feed, and increasingly accommodative regulatory stance are major factors that drive the seed market industry growth. Global population is estimated to reach 9 billion by 2050, and is expected to require twice the food, which is predicted to be produced from constant land area. More production is anticipated to be accomplished from less land only by using the combination of quality seeds, quality inputs, and enhancing farm practices.
The seed market is segmented on the basis of type, crop, availability, seed treatment, seed trait, and geography. By type, the market is classified into genetically modified (GM) seed and conventional seed. On the basis of crop, it is bifurcated into field crops and fruits & vegetable crops. The field crops segment is divided into cotton, corn, rice, wheat, millet, sunflower, and sorghum. The fruits & vegetable crops segment is further classified into tomato, okra, chili, melon, gourds, cauliflower, cabbage, cucumber, and others (eggplant, pumpkin, radish, and carrot). On the basis of availability, the market is categorized into commercial seeds and saved seeds. On the basis of seed treatment, it is classified into treated and untreated.

Geographically, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
The genetically modified (GM) seed segment is anticipated to grow at a high CAGR during the seed market forecast period. Crops produced using genetically modified (GM) seeds are of enhanced quality and contain additional amount of nutrients in them.
In 2020, the field crops segment accounted for more than half of the market, in terms of volume. Rise in seed replacement rate in cultivation areas, ongoing R&D activities by seed manufacturers, and intensive agricultural practices utilized by farmers to increase crop yield & productivity are the major factors that drive the growth of field crops segments across the globe.
The commercial seeds segment is projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Expanding global population is anticipated to escalate the demand for commercial seeds across the globe. Decline in global arable land acts as a driver for commercial seeds segment, as these seeds yield higher output.
The treated seeds segment accounted for the maximum share, in terms of both volume and revenue, in 2020, as these seeds save post sowing cost of spraying and make crops tolerant to various soil-borne and other diseases. Furthermore, treated seeds assist to increase the productivity and provide benefits to farmers in terms of cost.
