Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants - Company Evaluation Report, 2025 (Abridged Report)
Description
The Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants Companies Quadrant is a comprehensive industry analysis that provides valuable insights into the global market for Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants. 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 190 companies, of which the Top 20 Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants Companies were categorized and recognized as quadrant leaders.
The plant breeding and CRISPR plants market is undergoing a transformative shift, driven by technological innovation, evolving regulatory landscapes, and the rising demand for high-yield, climate-resilient, and pest-resistant crops. While conventional breeding remains fundamental, biotechnological approaches—including molecular breeding, hybrid breeding, genetic engineering, and genome editing—are gaining significant traction. Among these, CRISPR-based genome editing has emerged as a game-changing technology, enabling precise genetic modifications without introducing foreign DNA, making it a more widely accepted alternative to traditional GMOs.
The current market landscape reflects growing investment and adoption of gene-edited crops across various agricultural segments, including cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, sugar crops, ornamentals, and alfalfa. Government policies and regulatory support play a critical role in driving the growth of the plant breeding and CRISPR plants market. Many countries are actively streamlining regulations to facilitate the commercialization of gene-edited crops, creating a more favourable environment for innovation. The growing acceptance of hybrid and genetically edited seeds among farmers—alongside rising investments in research and development—is further propelling market expansion.
The 360 Quadrant maps the Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants companies based on criteria such as revenue, geographic presence, growth strategies, investments, and sales strategies for the market presence of the Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants quadrant. The top criteria for product footprint evaluation included By Application (Cereals & Grains, Oilseeds & Pulses, Fruits & Vegetables, Other Applications), By Trait (Herbicide Tolerance, Disease Resistance, Yield & Grain Size Improvement, Temperature & Stress Tolerance, Drought Resistance, Other Traits), By Type (Biotechnological Method, Conventional Breeding), and By Technology (Conventional Breeding, Biotechnological Method).
