Market Scenario:
The market has experienced several technological innovations over the past several years. Efforts have been made to improve the yield and nutritional quality of the seeds. Furthermore, manufacturers have been introducing different seed varieties which are resistant to certain diseases, draughts and other climate changes.
Market Drivers/Constraints:
Different seed varieties are being developed and used worldwide, influenced by their various advantages. One of the major growth inducing factors is the significant shift in the farming practices with a focus on modern and more efficient equipment and inputs. Another major factor is the decline in arable land which has spurred the demand for high yielding seed varieties. This has also been influenced by the growth in the global population and the consequent increase in the food requirements.
However, there are several factors that hamper the market growth. The distribution of substandard and counterfeit seeds, particularly in the developing countries, poses a major threat to the manufacturers. Low product awareness among the consumers also inhibits the market growth.

Increasing population and the subsequent demand for food have also contributed to its growth. The region accounts for around a third of the total global production of seeds. North America is followed by Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa.
