The genetically modified animal products market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for genetically modified animal products has seen a quick expansion in recent times. An increase from $0.04 billion in 2024 to $0.04 billion in 2025 is predicted, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. This growth during the historical period is due to factors such as a rise in food demand, better livestock productivity, nutritional improvements, lessened environmental impact and more efficient feed conversion.
The Genetically Modified Animal Products market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for genetically engineered animal products is anticipated to expand rapidly over the upcoming years. It is projected to reach $0.07 billion by 2029, with a 12.7%.
compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This growth during the forecast period is attributed to factors such as mitigating climate change, emphasis on sustainable farming, better disease resistance, regulatory backing, and biopharmaceutical production. Emerging trends during the forecast period include functional food research, genetically modified aquatic species, nutritional enhancements, ethical considerations, and animal welfare, as well as global research collaborations.
The upsurge in bioengineered food production is playing a key role in driving the expansion of the genetically modified animal products market. Bioengineering, in the context of food creation, denotes the alteration of an organism's genetics to achieve specific characteristics like enhanced yield or pest resistance. This method can elevate the quality of food crops, including corn and soybeans, and animals bred for consumption, such as cows and chickens. As the global population grows and food demand escalates, bioengineered foods have been suggested as a viable solution to satisfy the rising demand and address challenges linked to food security and sustainability. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a government department overseeing agricultural regulations, an article in 2022 revealed that over 90% of corn, upland cotton, and soybeans cultivated in the United States are genetically modified in the GE crops category as herbicide-tolerant (HT), insect-resistant (BT), or combined stacked varieties embodying both HT and BT traits. Hence, the surge in bioengineered food production is substantially propelling the genetically modified animal products market.

One important trend gaining traction in the genetically modified animal products market is product innovation. Major market players are developing and introducing novel genetically modified animals and products in order to consolidate their presence in the market. For instance, Washington State University (WSU), a research institution based in the United States, announced in May 2023 that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had granted approval for German-style sausages made from genetically engineered pigs, suitable for human consumption. The pigs were genetically modified using CRISPR technology with the aim of serving as surrogate sires for transferring desirable genetic traits to future livestock generations. This approval not only underscores the potential of genetic editing in enhancing meat quality and livestock resilience but also represents significant progress in university-led advancements in food safety and biotechnology.
