Market Trends of Molecular Breeding Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Molecular Breeding Market according to our research experts:
Increase in production of Corn exponentially
Global demand for food production and consumption increasing at a rapid pace. U.S. average corn yield has increased from 1.6tonnes/hectare in the first half of the 20th century to approximately 9.5tonnes/ha. The dramatic yield improvement is due to the use of hybrid corn, synthetic fertilizers, and the adoption of new farm practices that drives the molecular breeding market. Introduction of molecular breeding traits and development of new breeding technology using DNA based markers created a new and innovative market for molecular breeding. For instance, Over the next two decades, biotechnology traits and marker-assisted breeding have the potential to double the corn yields in the U.S.
North America account for largest share
North America accounted for the largest share in the molecular breeding market in 2017, followed by Europe due to high yield in the production of wheat and maize as awareness among the farmers about the benefits of molecular breeding are increasing which will create a scope in the future market. The presence of major companies in US and Canada followed by Europe has resulted in increasing adoption of the molecular breeding market. The Molecular breeding market in the Asia-Pacific region is projected to grow with highest rate due to increasing investment from the key players in countries such as India, China, and Thailand.
