Rice Seed Market

Market Overview:

The global rice seed market size reached US$ 7.2 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 11.4 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% during 2024-2032.

Rice seed is the whole cereal grain with the outer hull and a single rice kernel. They are commonly available in arborio, basmati, brown, white and jasmine rice seed variants. These seeds are naturally produced through open-pollination or are artificially manufactured using hybrid technologies in long, medium and short grain sizes. The open-pollinated variety (OPV) includes the seeds produced through the natural pollination of the parent rice plant. On the other hand, hybrid seeds include purebred sterile rice seeds fertilized with pollen from a different rice variety. Rice seeds are also available in non-transgenic and transgenic variants, which are genetically modified to enhance the functional properties of the crop.

Rice Seed Market Trends:

The increasing consumption of rice as a staple food crop across the globe is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market growth. With the rising adoption of organic rice-based farming practices, there is an increasing demand for OPV seeds to meet the ever-growing food requirements of the masses. Moreover, the widespread adoption of hybrid rice seeds is providing a thrust to the market growth. Various technological advancements, such as the utilization of microbiology and genomics to produce seeds with inherited resistance to bacterial blight pathogens, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. Product manufacturers are also utilizing silico mapping and arraying technologies for improved analysis of the rice gene and producing desired seed characteristics. Other factors, including significant growth in the agriculture industry, especially in the developing economies, along with the implementation of various crop development programs by the government to promote the cultivation of hybrid seeds, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
