How much is the Genetic Engineering Plant Genomics Market valued at in 2026, and what valuation is forecast for 2030?

The genetic engineering plant genomics market has seen rapid growth in recent years. It is anticipated to expand from $46.41 billion in 2025 to $53.65 billion in 2026, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6%. This historical growth can be linked to developments in plant biotechnology research, a rising demand for increased crop yields, the wider adoption of genetically modified crop cultivation, advancements in sequencing technologies, and growing financial investment from both public and private sources.

The genetic engineering plant genomics market is projected to experience swift expansion over the coming years, reaching a valuation of $90 billion by 2030, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%. This expansion during the forecast period is propelled by factors such as the greater acceptance of precision breeding methods, a heightened emphasis on developing climate-resilient crops, the broadening of genome editing regulatory approvals, escalating investments in sustainable agricultural technologies, and a surging need for crop traits that optimize resource utilization. Key trends anticipated during this period encompass the growing implementation of CRISPR-based genome editing in crops, a sharpened focus on plant varieties resistant to abiotic stress, the increasing incorporation of genomic data analytics, the broader development of trait-specific crops, and a stronger commitment to sustainable crop enhancement.

What Drivers Are Influencing The Growth Of The Genetic Engineering Plant Genomics Market?

The increasing apprehension regarding food security is projected to fuel the expansion of the genetic engineering plant genomics market going forward. Food security is defined as a state where all individuals consistently have access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food necessary for a healthy and active life. These growing concerns about food security arise from factors such as climate change, economic instability, and an expanding global population, which collectively threaten the availability and accessibility of food. Genetic engineering within plant genomics improves food security by developing crops that are more resilient to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses, thereby boosting agricultural productivity and stabilizing the food supply. For instance, in January 2025, according to the US Department of Agriculture, a US-based government agency responsible for food security statistics, 13.5 percent of US households or 18.0 million households experienced food insecurity at some point during 2023, an increase compared with 12.8 percent or 17.0 million households in 2022. Consequently, the escalating worries about food security are anticipated to drive the growth of the genetic engineering plant genomics market.

How Are New Market Trends Shaping The Landscape Of The Genetic Engineering Plant Genomics Market?

Leading companies in the genetic engineering plant genomics market are prioritizing technological innovations, such as automated molecular breeding genotyping solutions, to enhance the precision and efficiency of crop breeding processes. An automated molecular breeding genotyping solution represents a system capable of efficiently and accurately processing substantial volumes of plant samples through the application of computerized technologies and software, thereby streamlining genetic analysis for breeding programs. For instance, in June 2024, MGI Tech, a China-based biotechnology company, launched a complete workflow solution tailored for large-scale low-pass whole genome sequencing in agriculture. This new solution encompasses an automated, full-process product portfolio specifically designed for widespread molecular breeding and genotyping of agricultural diploid species. The low-pass WGS solution, bolstered by MGI’s automation platforms, overcomes the limitations of conventional library preparation by achieving ultra-high throughput with minimal equipment. It enables swift, cost-effective large-scale library preparation and supports high throughput using the DNBSEQ-T7 sequencer, as well as medium throughput with the DNBSEQ-G400 benchtop sequencer, proving ideal for agricultural genomics research.
