Description

The Plant Biotechnology Companies Quadrant is a comprehensive industry analysis that provides valuable insights into the global market for Plant Biotechnology. This quadrant offers a detailed evaluation of key market players, technological advancements, product innovations, and emerging trends shaping the industry. MarketsandMarkets 360 Quadrants evaluated over 140 companies, of which the Top 15 Plant Biotechnology Companies were categorized and recognized as quadrant leaders.

The plant biotechnology market is a dynamic and rapidly growing sector that leverages advanced genetic techniques, synthetic biology innovations, and microbial solutions to boost agricultural productivity, sustainability, and industrial applications. This market plays a critical role in tackling global challenges such as climate change, pest resistance, soil degradation, and food security. Plant biotechnology spans several domains, including biotech seeds and traits, bio-based crop protection and nutrition solutions, and synthetic biology-driven products. As the demand for high-yield, climate-resilient crops and sustainable agricultural inputs continues to rise, plant biotechnology is becoming a key driver of transformation in modern agriculture and related industries.

The market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for high-yield, stress-tolerant crops, which are crucial to meeting the growing global food needs amid escalating climate uncertainties. The adoption of biotech seeds and traits, especially stacked traits that combine insect resistance and herbicide tolerance, has surged in major agricultural economies. Beyond agriculture, plant biotechnology is gaining significant traction in industrial sectors, such as bio-based pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and food enzymes, further expanding its market reach.

The 360 Quadrant maps the Plant Biotechnology companies based on criteria such as revenue, geographic presence, growth strategies, investments, and sales strategies for the market presence of the Plant Biotechnology quadrant. The top criteria for product footprint evaluation included By TECHNOLOGY (Genetic Engineering, Genome Editing, Tissue Culture, Synthetic Biology, Other Technologies), By PRODUCT TYPE (Crop Protection & Nutrition Solution Products, Biotech Seeds & Traits, Synthetic Biology-enabled Products), By CROP TYPE ( Cereals & Grains, Oilseeds & Pulses, Fruits & Vegetables, Other Crop Types) and By END USER (Seed Companies, Agricultural Input Suppliers, Food & Beverage Industry, Biofuel & Biochemical Companies, Pharmaceutical & Biopharma Companies, Government & Research Institutes).

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
