Top Companies in Seeds Industry | IMARC Group

The global seeds market reached a value of US$ 43.4 Billion in 2021. A seed is a ripened fertilized ovule of a plant containing an embryo and plays a significant role in generating a new plant. It is enclosed in the seed coat, which protects the embryo and performs several functions such as nourishing, dispersing to new locations, and dormancy in unfavorable weather conditions. Besides this, seeds offer food to other species like animals and humans.

As per the analysis by IMARC Group, the top seed companies are introducing genetically modified (GM) seeds, which is increasing the efficiency of the farmlands. With the growing health and environmental consciousness, they are also supporting farmers to grow natural and chemical-free products like organic seeds. Apart from this, the advancements in technology have prompted several companies to launch enhanced seed varieties, such as quinoa, hemp, caraway, sunflower, tomato, and rice seeds. On account of these factors, the market value is expected to reach US$ 48.8 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 2.11% during 2022-2027.
