The growth of the fruit and vegetable seeds market is expected to be propelled by an increasing demand for fresh fruits and vegetables. Fresh fruits and vegetables refer to produce that has not been preserved and is recently harvested. Fruit and vegetable seeds contain the embryos that grow into the fresh produce obtained from fields and farms. The rising demand for fresh fruits and vegetables leads to an increased need for fruit and vegetable seeds. For example, data from the Centre for the Promotion of Imports from Developing Countries (CBI) indicates that the value of fresh fruit and vegetable imports is growing by 2% to 6% annually, reaching €17 billion ($18.65 billion) in 2021. Additionally, India, as reported by the India Brand Equity Foundation in October 2022, exported fresh fruits and vegetables worth US$ 1.527.60 million, with total fresh produce exports reaching $498 million. Consequently, the surging demand for fresh fruits and vegetables is a driving force behind the growth of the fruit and vegetable seeds market.

The anticipated growth in the fruit and vegetable seeds market is also attributed to an increasing demand for organic food products. Organic food products are those that adhere to organic farming principles in their production and processing. The utilization of fruit and vegetable seeds in organic food production supports genetic diversity in crops, promotes sustainable agriculture, ensures chemical-free cultivation, enhances soil health, increases nutrient content, and minimizes environmental impact. Notably, the Organic Trade Associations (OTA) reported in May 2023 that sales of organic food in the US surpassed $60 billion in 2022, marking a significant milestone. Thus, the rising demand for organic food products contributes to the growth of the fruit and vegetable seeds market.
