The plant genomics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•The market size of plant genomics has seen significant growth in the past few years. The market is expected to expand from $10.99 billion in 2024 to $11.94 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%.
The historic growth can be credited to factors like augmented funding for genomics research, optimization of crop yield, climate change-related concerns, research collaborations, and a consumer preference for sustainable agriculture.
The plant genomics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for plant genomics is predicted to experience significant expansion in the approaching years, with estimates projecting it to reach $17.36 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%.
This anticipated surge during the forecast period can be credited to factors such as the application of big data analytics in genomics, the rise in precision agriculture, enhancements in crop nutrition, concerns over worldwide food security, and studies into gene expression. Prevailing trends for this period will revolve around CRISPR and genomic editing technologies, alongside the advancement of sequencing technologies, big data and bioinformatics, and the amalgamation of omics technologies.
The ascension of the plant genomics market going forward is forecasted to be driven by the escalating demand for genetically modified plants. Genetically modified organisms, which incorporate plants that have been genetically modified utilizing recombinant DNA technology, are referred to as genetically modified plants. Modifications to their growth patterns or disease resistance are among the advantages bestowed upon genetically engineered plants through plant genomics research. Genetic modification results in a genetically modified plant acquiring new or different characteristics after a specific DNA sequence has been added to the plant's genome. As an illustration, AgbioInvestor-GM, an analytical firm based in Scotland specializing in the biologicals market, noted in February 2024 that the global land area dedicated to GM crops in 2023 saw an increase of 1.9% over the preceding year, hitting a new high of 206.3 million hectares. Consequently, the drive behind the growth of the plant genomics market is the growing demand for genetically modified plants.
