Seed is one of the most basic and important agricultural inputs and it forms the third largest inputs market after agrochemicals and farm machinery.
Europe Seed Market was worth $16.77 billion in 2018 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 8.90%, to reach $25.68 billion by 2023
Traditionally, the seed industry was the major contributor to the sustainable food production. However, nowadays with the advancement of technology, the industry is also contributing towards animal feed, bioenergy and biomaterials production. High yielding cultivars/seeds along with other agricultural inputs such as crop protection products, fertilizers, and irrigation are being used to attain optimum utilization in the agriculture sector.
The growth of the Europe seed market is mainly due to the growing demand for grains, oil and vegetables, rising demand for animal feed, less market concentration and increasing usage of biofuels. However, this market faces certain constraints like the lesser adoption of GM crops, long GM approval timelines, and regulations, rising public concerns over the safety of GM products and the years involved in the development of new seed traits. Complex regulatory bodies in the European Union are also hindering the growth of this regional market.
Europe Seed Market is segmented based on Seed trait and Crop type. On the basis of Seed trait, the market is segmented into Herbicide Tolerant, Insect Resistant, and Other Stacked Traits. On the basis of Crop type, the global Seed market is segmented into Oilseed, Grain seed, Fruit & Vegetable, and Other seed. Oilseed includes soybean, sunflower, cotton, canola; Grain seed includes corn, wheat, rice, millet crops; Fruit & Vegetable includes tomato, melon, carrot, onion, pepper, lettuce; Other seeds include alfalfa, turf, clover & forage plants, and flower seed. Herbicide tolerance continues to be the most common trait.
