Global Molecular Breeding Market Size 2024, Forecast To 2033

6 Mar, 2024

The molecular breeding market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.45 billion in 2023 to $4.11 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the emergence of marker-assisted selection (MAS), adoption of biotechnological tools, improvements in phenotyping methods, shift to high-throughput screening, seed industry revolution. The molecular breeding market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.8 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rise in demand for disease-resistant varieties, focus on climate adaptation, growing population and food security concerns, consumer preferences for quality traits, regulatory support for biotechnology. Major trends in the forecast period include consumer demand for improved varieties, application of machine learning and AI, emergence of bioinformatics solutions, collaboration between public and private sectors, focus on climate-resilient varieties.

Global Molecular Breeding Market Key Driver

The expansion of industrial and high-value crop cultivation is anticipated to drive the growth of the molecular breeding market in the foreseeable future. Industrial and high-value crops represent agricultural endeavors focused on crops that hold greater market value due to their widespread use in various industrial applications. Molecular breeding techniques facilitate the cultivation of such crops by imparting superior traits such as disease resistance, high yields, and drought tolerance to plants. Thus, the escalating cultivation of industrial and high-value crops is poised to bolster the molecular breeding market. Notably, data from January 2022 provided by the National Agricultural Statistics Service, a division of the United States Department of Agriculture, indicates an increase in corn production from 81,313 per 1000 acres in 2020 to 85,388 per 1000 acres in 2021. Similarly, soybean production rose from 82,603 per 1000 acres in 2020 to 86,322 per 1000 acres in the same period. These statistics underscore the role of increased crop cultivation in driving the growth of the molecular breeding market, reflecting its strength in 2023.
