The growth of North America seeds market is being fuelled by the rising world population, which is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, as per recent FAO reports. The rapid population growth has raised the demand for food grains and vegetable seeds, thereby impacting market growth. Further, the growing awareness about balanced diet consumption and concerns over nutritional deficiency in major developed and developing economies can also increase the North America seeds market value. To meet the rising demands of vegetable and cash crops in North America, major seed manufacturers in the US, namely, Bayer, Corteva, Syngenta, and BASF, are expanding their supply chain of conventional and genetically modified seeds.
Furthermore, in 2022, a large portion of soybean fields in the United States was planted with Xtend and Enlist trait varieties, which help soybeans manage broadleaf weed growth and thus, providing a better yield. Similarly, in 2023, Bayer AG launched Genuity SmartStax Pro corn seeds on an initial 40,000 acres of land, which provided additional protection against corn rootworm, an insect pest which affects about 12 million hectares of US maize crop area. These efforts have contributed to the growth of the seeds market in the region.
Government of the US has also been working to increase the North America seeds market revenue through startups. The recently introduced Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs are major steps in this direction. These award-based incentives have encouraged entrepreneurs to invest in R&D of trending seed technologies to further drive the growth of the market in North America.
Contribution of the big four firms, strong intellectual property protection laws, and favourable government initiatives are providing several North America seeds market opportunities.
The market is highly concentrated and the big four firms namely Bayer, Corteva, Syngenta, and BASF contribute the highest percentage of seed supplies, while small firms only cater to the local markets. Besides conventional seeds, these firms are also establishing their footprint in newer seed technologies such as genetically modified seeds to meet future demands.
North America has a robust framework of intellectual property laws to protect newly discovered seed and plant varieties, including Plant Variety Protection certificates issued by the US department of Agriculture (USDA), Utility patents issued by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and Plant patents issued by the USPTO as well. These frameworks are a major factor driving research and development in US seed industry.
According to the USDA’s latest data, more than 50% of harvested U.S. cropland uses seed varieties with at least one genetically modified seed trait. The demand for such seeds is further increasing owing to quality characteristics such as high yield, insect or pest resistance, and tolerance to extreme drought temperatures, thereby propelling the overall growth of the seeds market.
North America seeds industry analysis suggests that the market is led by a handful of oilseed varieties which include soybeans, cottonseed, sunflower seed, canola, rapeseed, and peanuts. Soybeans dominate the oilseed supply accounting for about 90 percent of overall U.S. oilseed production. Besides, its overall cropland expands to 87.45 million acres, according to the USDA’s latest data in 2022.
