Agriculture Biotech Market Set for Growth with Innovative Advances

Margust Dela Cerna | August 19, 2024

The global agriculture biotechnology market is expected to grow significantly, powered by advancements such as gene editing, CRISPR, marker-assisted breeding, biosensors, and GMO-free RNA interference. These technologies are highlighted as key solutions to meet rising global food demands and promote sustainable farming practices.

Marker-assisted breeding, which uses genome sequencing to identify genetic markers, is speeding up plant-breeding efforts while Biosensors are increasingly used to monitor plant health and detect diseases, while innovations like 3D bioprinting and biologicals promise to drive further market growth.

Agriculture biotechnology applies DNA science to improve plants, animals, and microbes. Techniques like recombinant DNA technology enhance crop nutrition, potentially addressing global malnutrition.

Biologics, derived from living organisms, provide sustainable alternatives to chemical agrochemicals. Insect pheromones, for example, are species-specific and non-toxic, protecting crops without harming beneficial organisms. These eco-friendly solutions are expected to boost market growth.

Leading companies, including Bayer AG, Corteva, Limagrain, KWS SAAT SE, and Evogene Ltd., are shaping the industry with innovative developments.
