The seed market size was valued at $58.5 billion in 2020, and is expected to reach at $105.3 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.5% from 2022 to 2031. An embryonic plant enclosed within a protective outer covering is known as seed. It is utilized as the basic, central, and vital input in agriculture and all farming systems. Seed serves various functions for plants, such as dispersal to new locations, nourishment of the embryo, and dormancy during unfavorable conditions. Timely availability of quality seeds in adequate quantity decides the health and strength of an agricultural economy.
Quality seeds suitable to various agro-climatic conditions in sufficient quantity and at affordable prices are necessary to raise overall crop productivity. High-quality seeds such as hybrid seeds offer better yield, significant uniformity, enhanced color, and disease resistance to the resulting plants.
The growth of the global seed industry is driven by modernization of agriculture, requirement to increase food production, and rise in usage of biofuels & animal feed. In addition, diversification of diets, sophistication of seed technologies, such as seed coating & seed pelleting, rise in usage of waste land for agricultural purposes, and increase in accommodative regulatory stance are anticipated to supplement the market growth. Asia-Pacific is expected to show highest growth rate during 2022-2031, owing to surge in population, rise in disposable income, and development in the agricultural sector. In addition, the region has minimum restrictions associated with import and export of seeds.
By Seed Treatment
The Treated segment dominates the Global Seeds Market and is expected to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period.
Financial and technical assistance from foreign agencies, such as the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Rockefeller Foundation, World Bank, and Ford Foundation in early development stage of seeds to strengthen breeding, processing of seed, and quality control plays a significant role in growth and development of the market. However, lower acceptance of genetically modified crops in various regions, such as Europe and prolonged time & extensive research involved in the development of new seed varieties having novel traits hinder the Seed market growth. Introduction of new technologies having potential benefits over conventional ones, enhancement in seed replacement rate (SRR), and increase in demand for seeds in emerging economies are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for market growth.
By Seed Trait
The Other Stacked Traits segment dominates the global Seeds market and is expected to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period.
The seed market is segmented on the basis of type, crop, availability, seed treatment, seed trait, and geography. By type, the seed market is classified into genetically modified (GM) seed and conventional seed. On the basis of crop, it is bifurcated into field crops and fruits & vegetable crops. The field crops segment is divided into cotton, corn, rice, wheat, millet, sunflower, and sorghum. The fruits & vegetable crops segment is further classified into tomato, okra, chili, melon, gourds, cauliflower, cabbage, cucumber, and others (eggplant, pumpkin, radish, and carrot). On the basis of availability, the seed market is categorized into commercial seeds and saved seeds. On the basis of seed treatment, it is classified into treated and untreated. On the basis of seed trait, it is divided into herbicide tolerant, insecticide resistant, and other stacked traits. Geographically, the seed market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Analyst Review
The seed industry has transformed dramatically over the past years with farmers increasingly using purchased seed instead of utilizing saved seed from previous harvest. Modernization of agriculture, necessity to increase food production, and growth in usage of biofuels and animal feed are primary factors that drive the growth of the seed market. In addition, sophistication of seed technologies, increasingly accommodative regulatory stance, growth in usage of waste land for crop cultivation purposes, and diversification of diets supplement the seed market growth. Male sterility is utilized in crops, as it makes seed production easier. For instance, rice hybrids are produced by utilizing cytoplasmic male sterility.
Marker-assisted breeding has accelerated advances in seed technology. R&D activities conducted by various breeding companies focus on making the resulting crops disease resistant. Thus, these companies are devoting considerable resources to produce disease screening techniques. Abiotic resistance is a significant area for research in the seed industry.
Economic growth and rise in disposable income fuels the growth of the seed market in emerging economies, such as India and China. Special schemes to upgrade seed quality and flexibility of norms associated with export to overseas play a significant role in the growth and development of the seed market in emerging countries, especially in India.
