Plant Genomics market is driven by rising use in breeding and growing population needs, boosting demand through the forecast period 2026–2030.

According to a recent TechSci Research report titled “Plant Genomics Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Plant Genomics Market was valued at USD 8.24 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.63% during the forecast period of 2026 to 2030. This growth is driven by a combination of technological advancements, rising global food demands, and increasing investments in agricultural biotechnology.

One of the primary drivers of this market is the surging demand for improved crop varieties. As the global population continues to grow, there is a pressing need for high-yield, nutritionally rich, and climate-resilient crops to sustain food production and security. Advances in genome sequencing, molecular biology, and genetic engineering are enabling scientists to better understand plant genetics and develop solutions tailored to current agricultural challenges.

Plant genomics—the study of the genetic makeup of plants—has evolved into a critical field in agriculture. It offers new methods to improve crop yield, nutritional quality, resistance to pests and diseases, and adaptability to adverse environmental conditions. As a result, it plays a vital role in ensuring sustainable farming practices and enhancing food availability worldwide.

A key factor contributing to the growth of the plant genomics market is the increasing demand for sustainable agriculture. As environmental challenges such as soil degradation, water scarcity, and climate change intensify, farmers and researchers are turning to genomics to develop more resilient crops that can thrive in difficult growing conditions. Genomic tools are being used to create climate-smart plants capable of withstanding droughts, floods, extreme temperatures, and other abiotic stresses.

The market is also being fueled by a growing interest in high-protein and nutrient-rich crops to combat malnutrition and protein deficiencies across many regions. As health awareness among consumers rises, so does the demand for healthy plant-based food products. This has led to an increased interest in fruits, vegetables, cereals, and legumes that are enhanced through genomic technologies to deliver better nutritional profiles.

In parallel, both government agencies and private organizations are increasing their investment in agricultural research and development. Many governments are launching initiatives and grants to support genomics-based projects aimed at improving crop performance and food security. These efforts are creating a robust pipeline of innovation in the plant genomics sector.

Technological advancements in genetic sequencing, molecular marker-assisted selection, and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing are opening up new possibilities in the field. These tools allow researchers to identify desirable traits more accurately and introduce them into crops with greater precision and efficiency than ever before. As such, plant genomics is becoming a cornerstone of modern agricultural practices.

In addition to addressing environmental concerns and food security, plant genomics is also providing solutions to economic challenges in agriculture. With rising costs of labor, fertilizers, and water, farmers are seeking efficient, cost-effective solutions. Genomics offers opportunities to reduce input costs while improving crop resilience and output—thus boosting profitability.

However, the industry also faces certain challenges. Ethical concerns regarding genetically modified organisms (GMOs), regulatory hurdles, and public acceptance remain significant issues in some regions. There is also a need for continuous education and awareness about the safety, benefits, and regulations surrounding plant genomics to drive broader acceptance.
