Commercial Seeds Market to Significant Growth Foreseen by 2020

Commercial seeds are the seeds sown for production of an intended crop or used as animal feed or industrial raw material. The increasing global population is escalating the demand for commercial seeds. As commercial seeds yield higher output, the declining global arable land due to rapid urbanization acts as a driver for the demand of commercial seeds . However, factors restraining the global commercial seeds market include hue and cry amongst the common masses in the developed countries against the production of genetically modified crops as they believe it affects the human health due to their altered genes.

Based on type, commercial seeds can be classified as conventional seeds and genetically modified seeds. The conventional seeds include corn, soybean, vegetable, cereals, cotton, rice and canola. The major genetically modified seeds include soybean, corn, cotton and canola. Based on ownership, commercial seeds are segmented into proprietary and non-proprietary seeds. Proprietary seeds are sold under the company’s brand name, whereas the non-proprietary seeds are bought and sold by the plant breeders. Proprietary seeds held a share of about 85% in 2013 in the global commercial seeds market.
