Molecular breeding Market to grow at 15.15% CAGR till 2026

The rising consumer focus on nutritional value, continuous deployment of molecular biology research products, and increased private and government investment in agri genomics research are the major drivers for the global molecular breeding market. The global molecular breeding market was valued at USD 1.65 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 5.1 billion in 2026, growing at a CAGR of 15.15% during the forecast period.

Significant investments in biological sciences have introduced a sequencing technology and ‘Big Data’ in agri genomic research. This will drive sustainable productivity and provide solutions to the escalating challenges of feeding the global population. There are several research institutes, biotechnology companies that are investing considerably in the field of agri genomic research. Illumina, Inc. is transforming the future of agriculture through product development and collaboration with consortia.  The company is investing largely in agri genomic research and developing healthier and productive livestock and crops by assisting breeders and researchers across the globe. Researchers are using next-generation sequencing technology and genotyping technologies for studying agricultural species.

The rising consumer focus on nutritional value, continuous deployment of molecular biology research products, and increased private and government investment in agri genomics research are some of the major factors propelling the growth of the global molecular breeding market during the forecast period. Moreover, the alarming growth in the population is majorly affecting the agricultural sector of the world. This, in turn, is expected to offer investment opportunities to the global market manufacturers in the coming years.

However, the lack of a skilled workforce and high initial capital investment are expected to hamper the growth of the global molecular breeding market during the forecast period. Moreover, the limited awareness of molecular breeding in emerging and underdeveloped economies are the prime challenges for the growth of the global molecular breeding market during the forecast period.

Key Findings:
