The plant genomics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.99 billion in 2024 to $11.94 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased funding for genomic research, crop yield optimization, climate change challenges, collaborations in research, and consumer demand for sustainable agriculture.

The plant genomics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.36 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to big data analytics in genomics, precision agriculture adoption, nutritional enhancement in crops, global food security concerns, and gene expression studies. Major trends in the forecast period include CRISPR and genome editing technologies, advancements in sequencing technologies, big data and bioinformatics, CRISPR and genome editing, and integration of omics technologies.

The rising demand for genetically modified plants is anticipated to drive the growth of the plant genomics market in the future. Genetically modified plants are biological organisms that have been altered through genetic modification using recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology. Research in plant genomics enhances these genetically modified plants by altering their growth patterns or increasing their resistance to diseases. When a specific segment of DNA is introduced into a plant's genome, it results in a genetically modified plant exhibiting new or different characteristics. For example, in February 2024, AgbioInvestor-GM, a Scotland-based firm specializing in the biological market, reported that the global area planted with genetically modified crops grew by 1.9% in 2023 compared to the previous year, reaching an all-time high of 206.3 million hectares. Consequently, the heightened demand for genetically modified plants is fueling the growth of the plant genomics market.

The escalating need for improved food productivity is projected to be a driving force behind the plant genomics market. Food productivity measures the yield of food per unit of land, labor, or capital. Plant genomics, revolutionizing agriculture, plays a pivotal role in boosting food productivity by examining plant genetics to develop high-yield crops. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization's October 2023 report, global cereal production surged by 26 million tons from 2.79 billion tons in 2022 to 2.81 billion tons in 2023. Moreover, global wheat production witnessed a 3.2% rise from 778.3 million tons in 2021 to 803.1 million tons in 2022. Hence, the mounting demand for enhanced food productivity propels the growth trajectory of the plant genomics market.

Major companies in the plant genomics market are concentrating on developing advanced solutions, such as genomics technology platforms, to boost crop yields and improve plant traits. These platforms include cutting-edge systems and methodologies like Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), CRISPR/Cas9, and RNA sequencing, which allow for a thorough analysis of plant genomes. This analysis aids in enhancing crop breeding, increasing disease resistance, and improving overall agricultural productivity. For example, in February 2023, Singrow Pte Ltd, an Agri-tech company based in Singapore, introduced the world's first climate-resilient strawberry variety utilizing advanced genomics technology. This innovation aims to bolster food security and sustainability in tropical regions by facilitating high-yield strawberry cultivation and decreasing reliance on seasonal imports.

Major players in the plant genomics market are investing efforts into developing cutting-edge innovations such as CRISPR technology, aiming to gain a competitive edge. CRISPR technology revolutionizes genetic code editing in living organisms. For instance, Qiagen NV launched CRISPR Q-Primer Solutions, facilitating genome editing in humans, plants, and animals. These custom-designed primers amplify the region surrounding the CRISPR editing site, enabling precise assessment of gene-editing outcomes. This technology ensures accurate evaluation of gene-editing efficiency, offering a pivotal tool for researchers across various domains.

In November 2022, Bayer AG, a prominent pharmaceutical and biotechnology company based in Germany, completed the acquisition of Targenomix GmbH for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition positions Bayer to establish a robust platform dedicated to discovering and advancing new crop protection products. Targenomix GmbH, also based in Germany, specializes in providing plant genomic solutions, adding significant value to Bayer's capabilities in this sector.
