Fruit and Vegetable Seeds Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

A fruit or vegetable seed is a small embryonic plant protected by an outer covering. Evolution has driven the formation of the seed, and seeds can be an essential survival strategy for many plants and animals. Angiosperms (flowering plants), which account for more than 80% of all plant species on the planet, produce the majority of seeds.

Fruit and Vegetable Seeds Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing population and shrinking arable lands

Due to an increasing population of customers desiring foods with higher nutritional values and health benefits, global demand for vegetable seeds has recently increased. Furthermore, dwindling arable land, dietary diversification, technology-driven agriculture, and changing weather patterns are some of the primary factors driving demand for hybrid vegetable seeds in emerging markets.

• Growing trend of genetically modified crops and awareness for food security

Crop growers are increasingly using genetically modified crops to increase crop yield, which is influencing market growth for fruit and vegetable seeds. Furthermore, efforts by organisations such as the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to achieve food security by increasing yields are creating opportunities for the market for fruit and vegetable seeds in Africa and Asia, the least developed regions. Other factors driving market growth include the effects of urbanisation and the growing preference for organic food products.

Opportunities

Increased population awareness of hybrid fruits and vegetable seeds, as well as increased research and development capabilities to improve and innovate with agricultural technology, are other factors driving the growth of the hybrid fruits and vegetable seeds market. The growing demand for high-value crops like tropical fruits is driving up the demand for fruit and vegetable seeds. Furthermore, rising demand for organic fruits will create lucrative growth opportunities for the fruit seeds market.

Restraints

There has been an increase in the number of incidents involving counterfeit labels and seed bags sold in developing countries. The phenomenon is largely driven by the fact that low-income farmers cannot afford to buy large quantities of seeds. This allows the sellers to break down the bags, repack them in smaller quantities, and sell them loose. This opens the door for adulteration.
