The rise in the adoption of biofuels is notably driving market growth, although factors such as an increase in demand for organic food products may impede market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The rise in the adoption of biofuels is notably driving the market growth. Due to the high price of crude oil, the erratic supply of fossil fuels, and the political and environmental problems associated with fossil fuels, interest in and funding for renewable energy has recently increased. Additionally, consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious, which is fueling the demand for biofuels.
Energy crops like wheat, soybeans, sugarcane, and corn are used to make biofuels. They ensure environmental sustainability, lower the world's reliance on fossil fuels, and reduce pollution. The IEA estimates that biofuels supplied 3.6% of the world's transportation energy demand in 2021, primarily for road transportation. In order to maximize yields, farmers in European regions have increased their use of biofuel crops, which will boost the growth of the global genetically modified (GM) seeds market during the forecast period.
The rise in molecular breeding is an emerging trend in the market. Depending on the regulatory approval procedure, new genetically modified seeds are likely to be introduced and are anticipated to be available during the forecast period. Indian institutions are heavily involved in the development of genetically modified seeds for 13 crops, including rice, wheat, and sugarcane, to increase yield and quality.
These products, including vitamin A-enhanced rice and wheat, drought-tolerant maize, biofortified bananas, and pest-resistant cowpeas and beans, have multiple modes of resistance to pests and diseases as well as tolerance to herbicides. The introduction of such varieties into the product line will undoubtedly boost the growth of the global market for genetically modified seeds over the course of the forecast period.
The increase in demand for organic food products is a major challenge impeding the GM seeds market growth. Growing environmental concerns, an increase in the population of health-conscious people, and government support for raising awareness and using organic products are the main causes of the rise in demand for organic food products. These food items are free of synthetic pesticides, genetically modified organisms, and fertilizers derived from petroleum. Consumer demand for organic food products is also being fueled by rising health concerns and consumer awareness of the advantages of eating organic food.
Additionally, the restaurant industry in the majority of developed nations offers organic options on their menus to cater to health-conscious diners. As a result, the growth of the organic food industry during the forecast period is further boosted by a robust supply chain in the market for organic foods. Therefore, the growth of the organic food industry is anticipated to impede the demand for genetically Modified Seeds, which in turn, will hinder the genetically modified (GM) seeds market growth during the forecast period.
The report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.

The corn segment was valued at USD 7.44 billion in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. According to USDA estimates, the United States produced 15.1 billion bushels of corn in the harvest year of 2022, which was 7% more than the harvest year of 2020. Corn is the main feedstock used to produce ethanol. A record-breaking 177.0 bushels of corn were produced per acre in the United States in 2022, which is 5.6 bushels more than the 171.4 bushels produced per acre in 2020. Additionally, corn is utilized in the manufacturing of plastics, biofuels, and medications. Due to its versatility, corn is now produced on the second-most acres worldwide, behind wheat. These elements will fuel the market for genetically modified seeds worldwide.

North America is estimated to contribute 31% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
The development of the market in North America is primarily ascribed to urbanization and technological advancements. The US commands a 70% share of the industry, followed by Canada and Mexico. The industry in North America underwent significant changes over the past few years as a result of M&A, rapid R&D growth, and the development and widespread use of biotechnology. The market has become inventive as a result of the development of genetically modified seeds and is now providing producers with solutions for a wide range of environmental issues, including drought, salinity, disease stress, and other elements that affect the yield and production of many crops. Such factors will boost the regional genetically modified (GM) seeds market growth during the forecast period.
In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak affected the market negatively in the region. However, in 2021 the region witnessed ramping up and expansion of COVID-19 vaccination drives which resulted in the lifting of bans and other restrictions. This has led to the resumption of supply chain activities of genetically modified seeds in the region. Due to this, the manufacturers can produce genetically modified seeds and transport their products to respective vendors. This has increased the sales of genetically modified seeds at offline retail units, which, in turn, will support the growth of the regional genetically modified (GM) seeds market during the forecast period.
The report forecasts market growth by revenue at global, regional & country levels and provides an analysis of the latest trends and growth opportunities from 2017 to 2027.
Technavio categorizes the global genetically modified seeds market as a part of the global agricultural products market under the global food products market of the global food, beverage, and tobacco market.
