9.8%Global Genetically Modified Seeds Market Size
The genetically modified seeds market was valued at USD 43.76 billion in 2025 and is anticipated to reach USD 48.05 billion in 2026 to reach USD 101.51 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period from 2026 to 2034.
Genetically modified seeds are the seeds that are used in farming. Their DNA is modified by using genetic engineering procedures. Mostly, the target is to induce a new trait into the crop which is usually absent in the species.
MARKET DRIVERS
The growth of the genetically modified seeds market can be attributed to the increase in the adoption of biofuels, the growth of the population and the consequent food demand, the growing demand for animal feed, and the preference for oleo-chemicals. The growing acceptance of biotech drought-tolerant plants and increasing demand for high-yield crops are also considered to be the driving factors of this market.
