Hybrid Seeds Market by Crop Type (Cereals & Grains, Fruits & Vegetables, and Oilseeds), Duration (Short-Term, Medium-Term, and Long-Term), Seed Treatment (Treated and Untreated), Farm Type, and Region - Global Forecast to 2022

“Global hybrid seeds market projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.10%”
The global hybrid seeds market is projected to reach a value of USD 57.19 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 9.10% from 2016. The market is driven by factors such as high-quality and high-yielding seeds used with innovative technology, new product offerings, and modernization of agriculture. Moreover, the growing global population, declining arable land, changing weather patterns, diversification of diets, and technology-driven agriculture in developing countries are factors responsible for the growth of the hybrid seeds market. However, factors such as varying climatic conditions and the fact that once used, hybrid seeds cannot be reproduced, restrain the growth of the market.
“Cereals & grains segment of hybrid seeds dominated the hybrid seed market in 2015”
On the basis of crop type, the cereals & grains segment dominated the hybrid seeds market in 2015. With the increase in demand for the better quality cereals & grains, the seed companies have increased their production of hybrid seeds.
“Short-term hybrid seeds segment led the market with the largest share in 2015”
On the basis of duration, short-term hybrid seeds were the most widely used form of hybrid seeds. Short-duration hybrids require less inputs and can thrive under limited water availability. Crops such as wheat, chickpea, rice, and mustard can be grown in a short duration.
“North America dominated the market with the largest share”
The fastest-growing market for hybrid seeds is projected to be Asia-Pacific between 2016 and 2022. The North American market experiences the maximum consumption of hybrid seeds due to the increasing population and demand for new and enhanced agricultural products. Key players have concentrated their major research & development efforts to develop products conforming to European regulations for hybrid seeds, since these regulations are considered to be benchmarks in terms of certain seed.
