Commercial Seeds Market : Broad and General Facts about Trends, CAGR and Major Industry Players

Increasing world population has resulted in significant shortage of food supply, consequently driving the development of commercial seeds and GM crops. In addition, rising demand of bio-fuels is mounting pressure on agricultural lands to increase yield of crops such as corn, which is a key ingredient in producing ethanol. Other key factors which are expected to drive the growth of commercial seeds and GM (Genetically Modified) crops include increased consumption of animal fodder to meet the growing population of cattle and a rising need in commodities such as vegetable oil.

However, the use of GM seeds also has complications associated with its cultivation and consumption, which has restricted the market growth to a notable extent. With decline in arable land, demand for GM crops has substantially increased owing to high yielding capability of these crops. Crucial health ailments and damage to fauna have been reported globally due to crops grown from GM seeds. In lieu of this, many countries such as Peru, India and certain regions of U.S. have banned commercial application of GM seeds. This is expected to be one of the key factors hampering the growth of the market.
