Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants Market Size is valued at USD 8.5 Bn in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 21.1 Bn by the year 2034 at a 9.9% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Plant breeding has evolved from traditional selection to a high-tech discipline, with CRISPR revolutionizing the field by offering unprecedented precision and speed. CRISPR plants address critical challenges in agriculture, from disease resistance to climate adaptation, and are gaining traction in markets with favorable regulations. The rising need for enhanced crop types employing contemporary breeding technology and the advancement of breeding method technologies are two of the main factors propelling the global market for CRISPR plants and plant breeding.
Additionally, the market for CRISPR plants and plant breeding is being driven by the increasing use of molecular breeding techniques, which is also contributing to the market's growth. Rising restrictions on the use of chemical pesticides are significant drivers of the market expansion for CRISPR plants and plant breeding. Another factor propelling the market expansion for CRISPR plants and plant breeding is the rise in investments in the development of new technologies.
However, one of the primary factors limiting the expansion of the worldwide market for CRISPR plants and plant breeding is the availability of substitute products. The growth of the market for CRISPR plants and plant breeding in terms of revenue rate is also being significantly hampered by strict government regulations. Whereas, the market for CRISPR plants and plant breeding offers a significant opportunity for the creation of crops with improved nutritional characteristics.

Market Segmentation:
The Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants market is segmented based on application, trait, technology, and type. Based on application category, the market is segmented into Cereals & Grains (Corn, Rice, Wheat, Others), Oilseeds & Pulses (Soybean, Canola, Cotton, Others), Fruits & Vegetables, and Others.
The trait segment comprises into Herbicide Tolerance, Disease Resistance, Yield & Grain Size Improvement, Temperature & Stress Tolerance, Drought Resistance, and Others. By Technology, the market is further divided into Conventional Breeding [Cross-breeding and Selection Method (Pedigree Breeding, Mass Selection, Bulk Breeding, Pure Line Selection, Hybridization Methods), Single-cross Hybrids, Three-way Cross Hybrids, Double Cross Hybrids], Biotechnological Methods [Genetic Transformation (Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, Particle bombardment/gene gun, PEG-mediated transformation, Electroporation), Marker-assisted Breeding (SNP markers, SSR markers, Others), Gene Editing Technologies (CRISPR-Cas9, TALENS, Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFNs)), Tissue Culture Methods (Micropropagation, Embryo rescue, Anther/pollen culture, Protoplast fusion)]. By Type, the market is segregated into Biotechnological Methods (Molecular Breeding, Hybrid Breeding, Genetic Engineering, Genome Editing) and Conventional Breeding.
Based On The Technology, The Conventional Breeding Segment Is Accounted As A Major Contributor To The Plant Breeding And CRISPR Plants Market
The Conventional Breeding category is expected to hold a major global market share in 2021 because of its well-established techniques, advantages in terms of laws, and widespread use by seed firms. Many plant breeders still prefer this method, especially for staple crops like cereals, grains, and oilseeds, where long-term breeding programs have already improved desired features. Due to the lack of public opposition and regulatory scrutiny, conventional breeding is a more cost-effective option for commercial seed production than biotechnological procedures. Developments have also improved the accuracy of conventional breeding in breeding technologies, which have shortened development times and increased productivity.
Herbicide Tolerance Segment To Witness Growth At A Rapid Rate
Herbicide tolerance is an essential characteristic that allows crops to resist herbicide application, facilitating efficient weed management without endangering the plants under cultivation. Herbicide tolerance has led to the production of crops in the plant breeding and CRISPR plant market that can flourish when exposed to particular herbicides, simplifying farming methods and lessening the environmental impact of weed control. The category has grown as a result of major plant genetic companies' increasing attention on developing herbicide tolerance traits for both transgenic and non-transgenic crops.
In The Region, The Asia Pacific Plant Breeding And CRISPR Plants Market Holds A Significant Revenue Share
Asia Pacific Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue in the near future due to factors like the growing demand for commercial seeds in the Asian market. Additionally, seed producers like Syngenta, Bayer, and Monsanto have expressed interest in the sector and are growing their research and development facilities around the Asia Pacific. The market in this area is expanding due to the quick rise in investments made by local businesses in R&D for the latest technological developments in the field. During the projected period, this area is also anticipated to gain market value. In addition, North America is projected to grow rapidly in the global Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants market.
The adoption of these advanced breeding technologies has been facilitated by the region's robust agricultural sector and a strong emphasis on technological innovation. The development & commercialization of genetically modified crops are being led by top biotechnology companies based in North America. Furthermore, partnerships between overseas partners and North American research institutions add to the global body of knowledge and enhance the potential of CRISPR and plant breeding technologies.
Recent Development:
- February 2025: KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA (Germany) strengthened its market position in the sugarbeet seed sector by introducing new combination varieties that integrated strong Cercospora protection (CR+) with the CONVISO SMART system. These types were first offered in a number of European markets, and more are in the works.
