(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Rise in R&D Activities for Genetically Modified (GM) and Hybrid Seeds, Spurred by Climate Change and Environmental Concerns

Dublin, Jan. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Wheat Seed market by Breeding Technology, Type, Application, and Region 2025-2033" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global wheat seed market size reached USD 5.5 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach USD 7.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% during 2025-2033. The global market is primarily driven by continual technological advancements in seed technology, increasing global population and food security concerns, and the imperative to adapt to climate change, significant research, and investment into the development of high-yielding, sustainable seed solutions.

Climate change and environmental concerns
The global market is significantly influenced by ongoing climate change and related environmental issues. These challenges necessitate the development of more resilient wheat varieties. Breeders and agricultural scientists are increasingly focusing on creating seeds that can withstand extreme weather conditions, such as droughts, floods, and temperature fluctuations. This drive is leading to a rise in research and development activities, particularly in the realm of genetically modified (GM) and hybrid seeds. The market is also seeing a growing demand for seeds that can produce crops with lower water and fertilizer requirements, in response to increasing environmental awareness and the need for sustainable farming practices.
Technological advancements in seed technology
Emerging innovations in genetic engineering, seed treatment techniques, and biotechnology are playing a pivotal role. These technologies aim to enhance yield, improve resistance to pests and diseases, and increase the nutritional value of wheat. The development of hybrid seeds, which combine desirable traits from different plant varieties, is leading to higher productivity and quality. Additionally, advancements in seed treatment methods, such as coating with fungicides and insecticides, are ensuring better seed germination and protection against early-stage diseases and pests. This technological progression provides a boost to crop yields and ports sustainable agricultural practices by reducing the need for chemical inputs. As a result, these technological advancements are crucial in driving the growth of the global market.
Global population growth and food security concerns
Wheat is a staple food for a significant portion of the world's population, making its production critical in meeting the increasing food demand. As the population continues to rise, particularly in developing countries, the pressure to enhance wheat production also escalates. This scenario necessitates the development and distribution of high-yield, disease-resistant seed variants to maximize productivity per hectare. Moreover, the need to achieve food security is pushing governments and international organizations to invest in agricultural research, including the development of superior seed varieties. These initiatives are vital in addressing the dual challenge of feeding a growing population and doing so in a sustainable manner, thereby propelling the market forward.
