Crop Science Market Insights and Forecasting

Market consolidation, increasing regulation and sustainability are creating significant changes for crop protection and seed companies. Shape your commercial strategy using our proprietary data, in-depth market analysis, long-term forecasts and analyst expertise.

Key facts about the global crop science market
  • The global crop protection market is estimated to have increased by 4.7% in 2021 to reach $65,206 million. Herbicides dominate (~44%) the crop sector, followed by fungicides (~27%) and insecticides (~25%). Of this total, biological crop protection products equate to approximately $3.3 billion.
  • In 2021, the market for commercial seeds grew by 7.1% over 2020, reaching an estimated value of $47,242 million. Of this total GM seed sales increased by 11.6% to reach approximately $21.8 billion. Stacked traits, incorporating herbicide tolerance and insect resistance genes total approximately 58% of the GM total. In addition, gene-editing systems, specifically CRISPR, have been recognised as breakthrough technologies in agriculture.
  • Investors are increasingly applying ESG factors as part of their analysis process to identify risks and opportunities. Investment is growing towards sectors such as biologicals and digital agriculture practices which are deemed to have a more favourable environmental footprint.
  • Increasingly stringent regulation is impacting growth for established products and increasing the cost of innovation. 40% of the top 20 molecules from a global value perspective are under intense legal and/or regulatory scrutiny, most notably glyphosate, the leading active ingredient on a value basis.
  • Unlike many other sectors of the global economy, crop inputs experienced little impact from the COVID-19 pandemic given the essential nature of food production. Some minor, yet significant, hurdles include reduced availability of domestic and migrant farm labour, issues surrounding delays of shipments in ports, reduced cotton consumption in the textile industry, lower consumption of certain vegetables with the closing of the hospitality sector and reduced demand for biofuels.
