Organic Seed Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

Organic Seed Market size is estimated to reach $7.1 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Organic seed is a seed that is generated by organic gardening/farming techniques. These are the identical techniques utilized to develop organic food. Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) is identified as an inulin-type fructan and is extensively utilized as a functional food. FOS is existing organically in fruits, vegetables, and cereals, and as a reserve material in onion, chicory, asparagus, garlic, tomatoes, wheat, and more. FOS can be included as a sugar substitute in “low-calorie foods,” or as a bulking agent or “added fiber” in nutritional bars and beverages, baby foods, and more. The use of genetically modified plants is forbidden in organic products. Mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS 500), extracted from the cell wall of saccharomyces cerevisiae is an efficient feed constituent for poultry and livestock. In nature, speck quantities of organic galacto-oligosaccharides are existing in the milk of animals, and the quantity is a little higher in breast milk. It may be utilized for bread and pastry processing. The surging demand for Non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) products developed without the use of genetically modified plants amidst consumers owing to the emerging health troubles is set to drive the Organic Seed Market. The proliferating demand for organic food and beverages ascribed to altered purchase preferences of consumers in countries like India, China, Malaysia, and Indonesia is set to propel the growth of the Organic Seed Market during the forecast period 2022-2027. This represents the Organic Seed Industry Outlook.

Organic Seed Market Challenges

Limitations Of Organic Farming Are Hampering The Growth Of The Organic Seed Market:

Organic farming involves a considerable amount of everyday work for farmers to grow the plants organically without the application of pesticides and great time investment in the effort. The price of organic products is exorbitantly high for consumers to pay and so many of them do not back organic farming practices. Crops also termed genetically modified plants whose DNA structures are modified are sometimes implanted and cross-breeding can take place which can soon wipe off the distinction of organic and NON-GMO. An organic farm cannot generate as much yield as a traditional farm and results in reduced productivity.  These issues are thus hampering the growth of the Organic Seed Market.
