Genetically Modified Crops Market to Grow with a CAGR of 5.76% through 2030F

Increasing demand for nutritional food and increasing biotech crop adoption is expected to drive the Global Genetically Modified Crops Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030F.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “Genetically Modified Crops Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Genetically Modified Crops Market stood at USD 24.23 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 28.60 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.76% during the forecast period.

Several factors drive the global Genetically Modified (GM) Crops market. Emerging economies are increasingly recognizing the potential of genetically modified (GM) crops to enhance food security, agricultural productivity, and economic stability. With rising global population concerns and climate-related agricultural challenges, governments in these regions are turning to biotechnological advancements to ensure sustainable food production.

China’s agricultural sector has traditionally relied on large imports of soybeans and corn, particularly from the United States and Brazil. By promoting the commercialization of GM crops, the government aims to enhance domestic yields, reduce dependency on imports, and strengthen national food security. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has granted safety certificates for these new varieties, paving the way for large-scale adoption. This decision aligns with China's broader efforts to modernize its agricultural sector, increase farmer incomes, and mitigate the impact of climate change and pests. Beyond China, other emerging markets such as India, the Philippines, and Brazil are also expanding regulatory frameworks for GM crops. India, for instance, is exploring the commercial cultivation of GM mustard, while the Philippines has approved Golden Rice to combat vitamin A deficiency. These initiatives underscore a broader global trend where developing economies are leveraging genetic modification technologies to boost crop resilience, improve yields, and enhance food security for growing populations.

The Global Genetically Modified Crops Market is segmented into trait, technique, type of modification, crop type, application, regional distribution, and company.

Based on application, Scientific research is the fastest-growing segment in the Global Genetically Modified Crops Market in 2024, driven by significant advancements in biotechnology and genetic engineering. The rapid pace of scientific discovery has led to groundbreaking innovations in genetically modified (GM) crops, making this sector increasingly crucial in addressing global challenges such as food security, crop productivity, and resistance to pests and environmental stressors.  Scientific research continues to accelerate the development of GM crops, enabling breakthroughs that enhance the quality and yield of agricultural products. The focus on improving crop resistance to pests, diseases, and adverse environmental conditions is particularly important as the global population grows and the demand for food increases. While agriculture crops remain a key segment, their growth is deeply intertwined with the progress made through scientific research. As scientists and experts push the boundaries of biotechnology, they are pioneering sustainable agricultural solutions that ensure future food security and a more resilient farming system. This growing emphasis on scientific innovation in crop production is making scientific research the fastest-growing and most influential force in the Global Genetically Modified Crops Market, as it continues to shape the future of agriculture through cutting-edge technology and genetic engineering.

The second-dominating region in the Global Genetically Modified (GM) Crops Market is South America, primarily led by Brazil and Argentina. These countries have emerged as major contributors to GM crop cultivation due to favorable regulatory frameworks, large agricultural land areas, and strong export markets.  Brazil, in particular, has aggressively expanded its GM crop production, especially in soybeans, corn, and cotton. The country has implemented pro-GM policies and biotechnology-friendly regulations, facilitating rapid adoption among farmers. Additionally, Brazil's position as a leading soybean exporter to China and other global markets has driven further adoption of GM crops to enhance productivity and pest resistance. Argentina is another key player, with a significant share of GM soybean and corn cultivation. The country has established a strong biotechnology research ecosystem, allowing for continuous innovation in GM crop development. Argentina's GM seed approval process is streamlined, attracting investments from global agribusinesses. Other South American nations, including Paraguay and Uruguay, have also expanded their GM crop cultivation, leveraging similar climatic and economic advantages. These countries benefit from high-yield GM seed varieties, reducing dependency on chemical pesticides and increasing overall agricultural efficiency. South America’s dominance in the GM crops market is further strengthened by collaborations between biotech firms and agricultural producers, ensuring sustained growth. The region’s expansion is expected to continue as global demand for genetically modified soybeans and corn rises, particularly for livestock feed and biofuel production.

“The agricultural sector is intensifying efforts to combat crop diseases through genetic modification, with a key focus on disease-resistant bananas. The Cavendish banana, which dominates global trade, is highly vulnerable to devastating diseases like Panama disease (Tropical Race 4 - TR4) and Black Sigatoka, threatening global banana production and livelihoods. To address this crisis, scientists have engineered genetically modified (GM) bananas with enhanced disease resistance. A notable breakthrough is QCAV-4, developed by Australian researchers, which incorporates a disease-resistant gene from wild bananas. This variety received human consumption approval in April 2024, marking a major step toward commercial cultivation. Similarly, Chiquita Brands International has introduced the Yelloway 1 variety, which shows strong resistance to multiple banana diseases, including Black Sigatoka. These innovations highlight a growing reliance on genetic modification to protect staple crops from threats posed by climate change, pathogens, and declining genetic diversity. As disease pressures intensify, genetically modified crops like these are expected to play a critical role in global food security, ensuring sustainable banana production for millions of consumers worldwide.,” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director of TechSci Research, a research-based management consulting firm.
