An increase in the adoption of Genetically Modified (GM) crops globally is anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period. This is because genetic modification permits the production of feed and food crops with expanded characteristics such as high yield, high nutritional value, expanded food-processing qualities, and resistance against illness and insects. In various countries, GM crops have been embraced rapidly, and the market for herbicide-tolerant, insect-resistant GM seeds is among the increasing sectors of the agricultural industry.
As per the International Service for the Investment of Agri-biotech Applications (ISA) estimates, 2.15 billion hectares of biotechnology crops have been commercially expanded from 1996 to 2016.

Changing climatic patterns could influence pest distribution, behaviors, and population dynamics. As pests adapt to new conditions, they can become more challenging to control, intensifying the demand for effective pest management. The transformation in climate conditions is an important characteristic that has contributed to the market's growth. This is attributed to global warming, which modifies the individual dynamics of insects and their ecosystems, as they are found prominently in warmer climates.
As per an article published by FAO in 2021, a new research study states that plant pests that decimate economically significant crops are becoming more destructive due to the impact of climate change, posing a rising threat to food security and the environment. FAO also states that annually, up to 40% of global crop production is lost because of pests, and each year, plant diseases cost the global economy over $ 220 billion, and the cost due to invasive insects is estimated to be at least $ 70 billion. Therefore, proper pest management should be in place to mitigate the impact of these pests on plants and human health.

A notable restraint in advancing biotech crops lies in the imperative for strict regulations. As these crops implicate genetic manipulation, situations over their potential environmental, health, and societal effects necessitate robust oversight. While these rules are necessary to provide safety and minimize risks, they can inadvertently hinder progress. Extreme bureaucracy and prolonged clearance processes might prevent research and development investment, slowing the introduction of creative biotech crops that could address demanding agricultural challenges. Striking the right balance between safety and promoting scientific improvement is necessary. Regulatory frameworks should promote transparency, thorough risk assessments, and ongoing monitoring while fostering an environment where biotech inventions can flourish and donate to sustainable and resilient agricultural practices.
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the biotech crop market. COVID-19 poses a significant threat to global food security. Millions of people were malnourished and hungry before the epidemic. Thus, immediate action is needed to address the global food crisis. Dealing with food security is a critical step toward post-COVID-19 rehabilitation techniques. Also, the pandemic impacted domestic food supply networks in several countries. The aftereffects of COVID-19 and the global economic crisis could disturb the smooth process of food systems in the future. As a result, mitigation of such disruptions by cutting-edge technologies such as biotechnology is anticipated to expand in the future years.

In 2025, global agricultural trade is under major strain following President Trump’s Liberation Day Tariffs, which introduced steep duties to correct trade imbalances. Tariffs now range from 10% on imports from allies like Japan to as high as 46% on Vietnamese goods and 34% on Chinese agricultural products, with a blanket 25% on agri-machinery, fertilizers, and processed foods. This has significantly raised input costs for U.S. farmers and triggered retaliatory tariffs from key partners like China, the EU, and Brazil. China’s countermeasures up to 120% on U.S. exports like soybeans, pork, and dairy—have already slashed Q1 soybean exports by 19.7%. Canada and others have also tightened import rules, compounding uncertainty.
Key agriculture sectors are struggling. Row crop farmers face slumping export prices and higher input costs, leading many to explore alternative crops and new markets in South Asia and Africa. Dairy and pork producers are dealing with oversupply and weak demand, especially from China and the EU. Fruit and vegetable growers are hit by increased spoilage and packaging costs, while food processors are seeing a 10–14% rise in unit costs due to equipment and material tariffs. Logistics firms, meanwhile, are grappling with slower exports and rising warehousing needs, pushing them to revamp inland routes and distribution strategies.
China, while not the largest exporter of agricultural goods to the U.S., is a key supplier of specific inputs like agrochemicals, additives, seafood, and processed foods. Many of these goods are also routed through intermediaries in Asia, so tariffs aimed at China disrupt broader global supply chains. U.S. agribusinesses are seeing input costs rise by up to 22%, complicating seasonal planning and tightening margins. While some are turning to alternate sourcing from India, Latin America, or Southeast Asia, challenges like logistics and compliance slow the transition.
To adapt, agribusinesses are increasingly relying on market research. It helps identify lower-risk suppliers, monitor input costs, optimize fragmented supply chains, and understand shifting consumer behaviors. Firms are also tracking regulatory changes and running scenario planning models to anticipate disruptions. Major companies are responding by reshoring supply chains, investing in local operations, and realigning exports toward tariff-exempt markets. The most resilient players are those using real-time data and strategic foresight to reconfigure operations and maintain competitiveness amid ongoing trade volatility.
The market for biotech crops has a very active and diverse competitive environment. Major key players in the biotech crop market are catering to the increasing demand for these devices by funding in technologically developed products in their global product portfolio. Advanced biotech techniques support professionals in incorporating new genes from one species into another irrelevant species. Some of the most common subjects of genetic engineering include crops, farm animals, and soil bacteria.
In April 2022, Corteva Agriscience opened a new Center for Seed Applied Technologies (CSAT) in southwest France to assist Europe's farmers in getting their crops off to the best start and achieving a successful harvest. The Center in Aussonne is the first for Corteva in Europe and its third worldwide. The CSAT would focus on service development, with a strong scientific investment expected to be a part of recent seed treatment solutions to assist farmers in catering to the challenges of the ever-changing agricultural sector.
September 2021: A foundation professor associated with the University of Nevada was awarded a USD 1.55 million grant by the National Science Foundation to research improving drought tolerance and efficiency of water use in plants to aid in preserving agricultural productivity amid climate change. The department aims to create drought-tolerant crops to help in global food production during periods of intense drought.
October 2021: A team of agricultural scientists and experts approached the Karnataka government for permission to conduct Biosafety Regulatory Level 1 field trials of crops like Bt Maize and Bt cotton. This move is a part of accelerating the adoption of technological advancements to improve crop productivity and resist pest attacks.
