根据Stratistics MRC预测，2024年全球农业基因组市场规模将达40亿美元，预计2030年将达到73亿美元，预测期内复合年增长率为10.5%。

农业基因组学是基因组学工具和技术在农业中的应用，以提高农作物和牲畜的生产力、永续性和復原力。它涉及研究植物、动物和微生物的基因组成，以确定抗病性、耐旱性和产量等感兴趣的性状。透过利用DNA序列测定、基因编辑和生物资讯学等技术，农业基因组学可以帮助开发改良品种和品种，优化农业实践，并在快速变化的环境中应对全球粮食安全挑战。

印度政府部际委员会的报告显示，数位科技干预使印度农业收入增加了16-18%。

世界人口成长和粮食需求

全球人口的增加和食品需求的增加正在推动市场的成长。随着世界人口的增加，提高农业生产力和永续粮食生产的需求也增加。利用基因研究的农业基因组学可以帮助提高作物产量、抗病性和资源效率。这项技术将在帮助农民适应气候变迁和解决粮食安全挑战方面发挥至关重要的作用，同时提高农业永续性和生产力。

道德问题和监管障碍

市场上的道德担忧和监管障碍可能会减缓创新和采用。围绕基因改造、生物多样性风险和潜在环境影响的问题增加了公众的焦虑。严格的法规和漫长的核准程序阻碍了基因改造作物和牲畜的及时推出。这些障碍减缓了创新解决方案的开发，并限制了市场应对粮食安全和气候变迁等紧迫农业挑战的能力。

基因组学技术的进步

基因组学技术的进步正在彻底改变市场。技术创新使得精确地对作物和牲畜进行基因改造成为可能。这些技术增强了抗病性、耐旱性和营养等特性。因此，育种计划得到加速，农业生产力提高，永续性得到促进。这些突破对于应对全球粮食安全挑战和支持永续农业至关重要。

基因组技术成本高

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Agri Genomics Market is accounted for $4.0 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $7.3 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period. Agri genomics is the application of genomic tools and techniques in agriculture to improve crop and livestock productivity, sustainability, and resilience. It involves studying the genetic makeup of plants, animals, and microorganisms to identify traits of interest, such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and higher yields. By utilizing techniques like DNA sequencing, gene editing, and bioinformatics, agri genomics helps in developing improved varieties and breeds, optimizing farming practices, and addressing global food security challenges in a rapidly changing environment.

According to the Indian government's inter-ministerial committee report, digital technology interventions increased farmer income in India by 16-18%.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising global population and food demand

The rising global population and increasing food demand are driving growth in the market. As the world's population grows, the need for higher agricultural productivity and sustainable food production intensifies. Agri genomics, leveraging genetic research, helps improve crop yields, disease resistance, and resource efficiency. This technology plays a pivotal role in meeting food security challenges, enabling farmers to adapt to changing climates while boosting agricultural sustainability and productivity.

Restraint:

Ethical concerns and regulatory hurdles

Ethical concerns and regulatory hurdles in the market can slow down innovation and adoption. Issues surrounding genetic modification, biodiversity risks, and potential environmental impacts raise public apprehension. Strict regulations and lengthy approval processes hinder the timely release of genetically engineered crops and livestock. These barriers can delay the development of breakthrough solutions, limiting the market's ability to address pressing agricultural challenges such as food security and climate change.

Opportunity:

Advancements in genomic technologies

Advancements in genomic technologies are revolutionizing the market. Innovations are enabling precise genetic modifications in crops and livestock. These technologies enhance traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and nutrient content. As a result, they accelerate breeding programs, improve agricultural productivity, and promote sustainability. These breakthroughs are pivotal in addressing global food security challenges and supporting sustainable agricultural practices.

Threat:

High costs of genomic technologies

The high costs of genomic technologies in the market can limit accessibility for small-scale farmers and developing nations. Expensive equipment, sequencing, and data analysis restrict widespread adoption, creating a gap between large corporations and smaller agricultural players. This financial barrier can slow the progress of innovations and prevent equitable distribution of advanced farming solutions, hindering the global potential for improving crop yields, sustainability, and food security.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the market by delaying research, development, and the commercialization of genomic technologies due to lab closures, supply chain interruptions, and restricted movement. Funding for projects was diverted, and field trials were postponed. However, the crisis also highlighted the need for resilient food systems, accelerating interest in genomic solutions for improving crop yields and livestock health to ensure food security in future global challenges.

The microarrays segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The microarrays segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the projection period enabling high-throughput analysis of gene expression, genetic variations, and marker discovery in crops and livestock. These tools facilitate the identification of desirable traits, such as disease resistance and improved yield, allowing for more precise breeding programs. Microarrays contribute to accelerating genomic research and developing sustainable agricultural solutions, improving productivity and resilience in farming systems worldwide.

The livestock breeding segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The livestock breeding segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the extrapolated period driven by genomic technologies, allowing for more precise selection of desirable traits. Genomic tools, like gene editing and SNP analysis, enhance breeding efficiency, reducing costs and time. This leads to healthier, more productive livestock, improving meat, milk, and wool yields while ensuring sustainability and resilience in the face of climate change and evolving market demands.

Region with largest share:

North America region is projected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period driven by advanced research, technology adoption. The region leads in genomics innovation with the use of CRISPR, next-generation sequencing, and bioinformatics to enhance crop and livestock productivity. Increased investment from both public and private sectors, along with a focus on sustainable farming practices, positions as a key player in shaping global agricultural genomics trends.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest growth rate over the forecast period. The integration of next-generation sequencing (NGS), CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technologies, and bioinformatics tools is advancing agri genomics research. Additionally, Countries like China, India, and Japan are heavily investing in agricultural biotechnology and genomics. Governments are providing funding to boost innovation in precision farming, pest-resistant crops, and drought-tolerant plants.
