The global GMO crops and seeds market is treading a growth path for the dire need to expand crop production globally. Due to the exploding global population, crop production via conventional agriculture is insufficient to fulfill the food needs. This has necessitated alternate means of crop production that are viable and sustainable. To that end, GMO seeds have served to not only magnify crop yield, but develop robust crop varieties.
In recent years, breakthrough developments in biotechnology has aided the growth of the agricultural sector. With extensive R&D, researchers have been successful to modify genes in laboratory environments. Unlike traditional method of natural process of modifying gene over generations of cross-fertilization, GMO crops and seeds are developed by modifying genes by directly inserting them into the DNA of the seed. These genetically modified seeds when used in commercial agriculture produces much higher crop yield. Such successful outcomes are boosting the demand for GMO crops and seeds.

On the downside, emergence of GMO crops and seeds has led to the elimination of large varieties of heirloom crop. Due to sentiments of some ethnic communities that are not in favor of artificially modifying genes, the growth of GMO crops and seeds market is restrained to some extent.
Nevertheless, the advantages of GMO crops and seeds outweigh their drawbacks, for the GMO crops and seeds market to display solid growth in the forthcoming years.
According to a market study by Transparency Market Research, the global GMO and seeds market is likely to expand at 8.3% CAGR from 2017 to 2022. At this pace, the market is likely to be worth US$36,653.2 mn by 2022 vis-à-vis revenue.
