What Is Covered Under Plant Genomics Market?

Plant genomics refers to the study of the genetic make-up, organization, functions, and interactions or networks of an entire plant genome through sequencing, characterization, and analysis. It is used to obtain genome-level information on plant metabolism, physiology, and growth to develop new crop varieties. The main types of plant genomics are molecular engineering, genetic engineering, and genome editing. Molecular engineering refers to a field of study that involves designing and testing molecular properties, behaviors, and interactions to create better materials, systems, and processes for specific functions. It contains different traits such as yield improvement, disease resistance, and herbicide tolerance, as well as technologies such as DNA and RNA sequencing, genotyping, and market-assisted selection (MAS). These are used in several applications, such as cereals and grains, oilseeds and pulses, fruits, and vegetables.

What Is The Plant Genomics Market Growth Forecast?

The plant genomics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.9 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0%.

What Is Driver Of The Plant Genomics Market?

The increased demand for genetically modified plants is expected to propel the growth of the plant genomics market going forward. Genetically modified plants refer to biological plants that have undergone genetic modification utilizing recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology. Plant genomics research benefits genetic plants by modifying their growth patterns or making them disease-resistant. Whenever a specific stretch of DNA is added to the plant's genome, a genetically modified plant with new or different features arises. For instance, in February 2024, according to AgbioInvestor-GM, a Scotland-based analytical firm in biologicals market, the global area under GM crops increased by 1.9% in 2023 over the previous year, reaching a record 206.3 million hectares. Therefore, increased demand for genetically modified plants is driving the growth of the plant genomics industry.
