North America Genetically Modified Seeds Market Size

The North American genetically modified seeds market size was valued at USD 15.99 billion in 2025 and is anticipated to reach a valuation of USD 17.57 billion in 2026 and USD 37.30 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 9.87% from 2026 to 2034.

Genetically modified seeds are 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 that is usually absent in the species.

The growth of the genetically modified seeds market can be attributed to the increase in adoption of biofuels, the growth of the North American population, and the consequent food demand, growing demand for animal feed, and preference for oleochemicals. 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.
