Driving Factors

Growing consumer demand for fresh fruits and vegetables will drive further development in the fruit and vegetable seed market. Fresh fruits and vegetables are characterized as those that have not been preserved and were collected or produced lately. Fruit and vegetable seeds contain the embryos from which fruits and vegetables are produced in fields and farms, resulting in fresh produce. As a result, as the demand for fresh fruits and vegetables rises, so will the need for their seeds. The rising demand for organic food items is likely to drive future growth in the fruit and vegetable seeds market. Organic food products are agricultural or processed foods that are grown and processed in compliance with organic farming practices. The utilization of fruit and vegetable seeds in organic food products helps to preserve and improve crop genetic diversity, promotes sustainable agriculture, eliminates chemical use, improves soil health, increases nutrient content, and reduces environmental impact.

Restraining Factors

The seed sector is among the most R&D-intensive industries. The amount spent on R&D varies each company, based on the strategy and tactics used. This is in complete opposition to the crop protection market, where most of the main companies spend a similar amount of their sales on R&D. Due to variable weather circumstances and increased consumer demand for food, farmers are increasingly adopting genetically modified seeds. The expense of creating GM seeds is higher, which raises the price of the seed. Certain corporations have a leading position in the production of GM seeds with certain features, which allows them to charge an extra price for their products (seeds).

Market Segmentation

The global fruits & vegetable seeds market share is classified into type, form, and trait.
