Report Overview

India Plant Genomics Market - Industry Trends & Forecast Report, 2029

The India plant genomics market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.91% during the forecast period between 2023 and 2029. Major growth factors for the India Plant Genomics market include favorable government policies and public funding to promote research and development (R&D) activities in plant genomes and improvement in the Indian agriculture ecosystem. Furthermore, technological advancements as well as increasing demand for enhanced crop varieties are projected to offer lucrative growth opportunities to the India plant genomics market during the forecast period.

India Plant Genomics Market – Overview

Plant genomics attempts to sequence, characterize, and analyze the genetic makeups, organizations, structures, and functions of a full plant genome, as well as their relationships and networks. Researchers can gain a better understanding of how epigenetic factors regulate these and other features in an interesting species by utilizing sequencing to detect changes in DNA methylation, chromatin structure, and small RNA expression. Using numerous samples, this technique sequences predetermined regions of genetic variation. Numerous conventional breeding techniques are still regularly employed. However, when genetic variations are linked to advantageous crop features by scientists, more and more breeders are using genomic technologies in conventional breeding approaches.

Growth Drivers

Growing Population and Extensive R&D Activities

The growth of India plant genomics market is expected to be driven by the increasing application of genomics to plant breeding, the increasing funds for agricultural development, and government initiatives to improve crop quality to meet the growing demand for high-quality crops. An increasing focus on feeding the growing population and ensuring the country’s food security is also fueling the demand for plant genomics to develop crops with advanced traits, such as herbicide resistance. Other factors that are expected to boost the market expansion include the growing efforts to reduce agricultural losses and falling costs associated with DNA synthesis and sequencing.

Restraints

High Cost of Plant Genomics

The high cost of plant genomics is one of the major restraining factors, especially in terms of the Indian market discourse. According to research published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, gene discovery can cost millions of dollars, while introducing genes into germplasm can cost USD 10,000 to USD 200,000 per gene. However, the insufficient government funding limits the scope of plant genomics in the country, as India only spends 0.5% of its agriculture GDP on R&D.

Impact of COVID-19 on the India Plant Genomics Market

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the growth of the India plant genomics market. The rapid spike in the number of COVID-19 infected people led the Indian Government to implement a strict lockdown, which resulted in an immediate shutdown of all non-COVID-19 and vaccine development research activities. Furthermore, agricultural activities were also hindered due to labor shortages and hindrances in the supply chains, which also affected the market growth negatively. The market is anticipated to register slower growth during the post-pandemic period as well due to the shift in focus and investment from agriculture to the healthcare sector.

Segmental Coverage

India Plant Genomics Market – By Type

Based on type, the India plant genomics market is segmented into molecular engineering, genetic engineering, and others (genome editing). The molecular engineering segment holds the highest market share and is also projected to register growth at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Molecular engineering enables scientists to add or eliminate specific gene traits with high precision. These types of modifications are gaining huge popularity in agriculture in India as it allows farmers to expand their production with reduced cost and longer shelf life.

India Plant Genomics Market – By Trait

Based on trait, the India plant genomics market is segmented into yield improvement, disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, and others (insect resistance and biotic stress tolerance). The herbicide tolerance segment accounts for the highest share of the India plant genomics market by trait. Weeds and crops alike are damaged by herbicides. It is therefore necessary to develop herbicide tolerance in crop varieties along with other important agronomic traits, which will enhance crop production and help farmers to control weed populations.

India Plant Genomics Market – By Objective

By objective, the India plant genomics market is segmented into DNA extraction & purification, DNA/RNA sequencing, genotyping, gene expression profiling, marker-assisted selection, GMO-trait purity testing, and others (hybrid purity testing, targeted resequencing, DNA parentage testing, QTL mapping, and genetic disease identification). The DNA/RNA sequencing segment accounts for the highest market share. The DNA/RNA sequencing method provides greater insights into gene expression levels that are expressed at different levels during development, disease, and stress, due to which it has high demand in the agricultural industry.

India Plant Genomics Market – By Application

Based on application, the India plant genomics market is segmented into cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, and others (sugar crops, Ornamental Plants, and alfalfa). The cereals & grains segment accounts for the highest market share. Genome editing is heavily implied in cereals and grains for the development of agronomic and quality traits in the produce. These include adaptive features to reduce the effects of climate change, tolerance to biotic stresses, higher yields, more appropriate plant design, increased grain quality and nutritional content, and safer products.

India Plant Genomics Market – By Region

The in-depth research report on the India plant genomics market covers the country’s four major regions: North India, South India, East India, and West India. North India dominates the India plant genomics market owing to the presence of leading agricultural research centers including the Indian Council for Agricultural Research. Furthermore, extensive agricultural activities in northern states, such as Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana, are fueling the demand for plant genomics, especially for understanding plant genes and crop breeding. It in turn, is also propelling the demand for plant genomics.

Competitive Landscape

Major players operating in the India plant genomics market include Eurofins Scientific, Illumina Inc, NRGene, Neogen Corporation, Agilent, LC Sciences LLC, Traitgenetics GmbH, Keygene, Novogene Co.Ltd, and GeneWiz. To further enhance their market share, these companies employ various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, license agreements, and new product launches.
