Asia Pacific Seeds Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

Asia Pacific Seeds Market Growth

A key driver of the seed market is the rising food demand across the region. Asia's population is expected to reach 5.25 billion by 2055, constituting approximately 54% of the world population. As the population rises, so does the requirement for food creating a greater scope for the agricultural industry in the region. To meet this demand, governments are persistently coming up with new initiatives and policies. As of September 2023, the Vietnamese government has made rice production a national priority.

Another factor that will positively influence the Asia Pacific seeds market revenue is the population shift from rural to urban areas. Based on data from the Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition, by the year 2050, nearly 63% of the total population of Southeast Asia is projected to be living in urban areas. When individuals change their place of living, their food patterns also change. As people increasingly shift to urban settings, their concern for the quality and safety of food grows. This creates a market for better-quality seeds produced using newer technologies such as the CRISPR-Cas9 trials that were started in China in 2017.

Other Asia Pacific seeds market dynamics and trends include the increasing popularity of sustainable agricultural practices such as organic farming and crop substitution. In Thailand, farmers are adopting ‘intercropping’ by growing a mixed set of crops along with coffee. This has helped them diversify their income sources leading to a 20% increase in income. Further, in July 2021, the Philippines became the first country to approve Vitamin A-infused ‘Golden Rice’. These were created by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the Department of Agriculture's Philippine Rice Research Institute (DA-PhilRice). They have higher concentrations of beta-carotene, which the body uses to produce vitamin A.
