The agricultural biotechnology market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $44.82 billion in 2024 to $49.18 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased population and food demand, crop resistance to pests and diseases, improved crop characteristics, advancements in genetic engineering techniques, environmental concerns and sustainable agriculture.

The agricultural biotechnology market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $72.27 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising focus on precision agriculture, climate change adaptation, consumer demand for sustainable practices, global trade dynamics, emerging markets and developing economies. Major trends in the forecast period include collaboration and partnerships, technological innovations, biosecurity and pandemic preparedness, gene editing technologies dominance, digital agriculture integration.

The increased food demand is expected to propel the growth of the agricultural biotechnology market going forward. Food demand refers to the quantity and variety of food products consumers desire and are willing to purchase within a given period. Increased food demand is due to population growth, urbanization, and shifting dietary preferences. Agricultural biotechnology boosts food demand by enhancing crop productivity, improving crop quality, and increasing resilience to environmental stresses. For instance, according to reports published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, a U.S. government agency, average household spending on food increased by 12.7% from 2021 to 2022, which is fueled by a 20.1% increase in spending on meals away from home and an 8.4% increase in spending on food at home. Therefore, the increased food demand is driving the growth of the agricultural biotechnology market.

Major companies operating in the agricultural biotechnology market are concentrating on innovative biotechnologies, such as pipelines with integrated solutions, to accelerate agriculture's transformation and overcome local and crop system climate challenges. This solution combines crop protection, seeds and traits, technologies, tools, and methodologies to optimize farming practices, increase productivity, and improve sustainability. For instance, in March 2023, BASF SE, a Germany-based chemical company, launched an innovation pipeline with integrated solutions to accelerate agriculture's transformation. This solution provides farmers with much-needed solutions to address local and crop-specific pest pressures, climatic problems, changing regulatory requirements, and expanding consumer demands. Additionally, this can help farmers optimize their inputs, reduce waste, and improve yields, leading to lower emissions. It also enhances climate resilience, biodiversity preservation, and precision applications.

In November 2022, Bayer AG, a Germany-based healthcare and agriculture company, acquired Targenomix GmbH for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to accelerate the discovery and development of molecules with the potential to enhance weed, disease, and insect resistance, contributing to Bayer's commitment to sustainable development and innovation in agriculture. Targenomix GmbH is a Germany-based research-focused company that provides agricultural biotechnology products and services for crop protection and plant health.

The agricultural biotechnology market includes revenues earned by entities by providing services such as crop trait development, trait stacking, biological solutions, seed production, and contract research and development. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The agricultural biotechnology market consists of sales of genetically modified (GM) seeds, biopesticides, and bioprocessing tools. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD, unless otherwise specified).

Agricultural biotechnology refers to using scientific tools and techniques to modify living organisms, including plants, to enhance agricultural processes and produce food, fiber, and fuel. It is used to improve agricultural productivity, sustainability, and resilience.

The main types of organisms in agricultural biotechnology are plants, animals, and microbes. Plants refer to eukaryotic organisms that belong to the kingdom plantae and are predominantly photosynthetic, meaning they obtain their energy from sunlight. It includes technologies such as genetic engineering, tissue culture, embryo rescue, somatic hybridization, molecular diagnostics, vaccines, and others and is used in different applications, including vaccine development, transgenic crops and animals, antibiotic development, nutritional supplements, flower culturing, and biofuels.
