Market Overview:
The global wheat seed market size reached US$ 5.1 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 6.8 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.40% during 2023-2028. Expanding global population resulting in the growing demand for food, continual technological advancements in the development of new seed varieties, and favorable government policies and initiatives represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Wheat seed is a critical component of wheat production that contains wheat kernels inside and is characterized by a hard outer covering, called the seed coat. Wheat seed plays an instrumental role in soil conservation, as wheat plants help to prevent soil erosion and enhance the soil quality. There are several advantages to using wheat seed, which can be grown in a variety of climates and soil types, thereby making it a suitable crop for many regions. Additionally, wheat seed is relatively easy to grow and maintain, making it a popular choice among farmers. Wheat seed is also highly nutritious, providing a source of starch, vitamins, protein, carbohydrates, and other essential nutrients. As a result, wheat seed is extensively used to produce a variety of products such as bread, pasta, and cereal.
Wheat Seed Market Trends:
The global market is primarily driven by the expanding global population resulting in the growing demand for food. In line with this, continual technological advancements in the development of new seed varieties that are more resistant to pests and diseases while being more tolerant to drought and other environmental stressors, are providing an impetus to the market. This can be attributed to the rapid urbanization resulting in a significant decline of arable lands, requiring more yield in less area of land. Moreover, the rising concerns regarding changes in weather patterns affecting the growth and yield of crops are leading to numerous innovations in agriculture techniques, which, in turn, is creating a positive market outlook. Additionally, favorable government policies and initiatives supporting agriculture industry and offering subsidies for farmers in the purchasing of seeds are creating lucrative growth opportunities in the market. The market is further fueled by a considerable rise in the demand for organic food crops. Apart from this, the increasing consumer preference for wheat-based products, such as the demand for whole-grain products, is impacting the market positively. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include considerable growth in the biotechnology and agriculture industries, the rising demand for protein-rich wheat variants, extensive research and development (R&D) activities and easy product availability across online and offline retail channels.
