Segments - Global Food Biotechnology Market by Products (Transgenic Crops and Synthetic Biology Derived products) and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa) Forecasts, 2023-2031
The global food biotechnology market was valued at USD 33.67 Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 79.39 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 10% during 2023 – 2031. Food biotechnology is the field of biotechnology, which is used to change genes of animals, plants, and microorganisms to produce genetically modified products containing high nutrition related properties. Genetically advanced products have helped farmers and producers to increase their yield and refine the quality of crops.
The COVID-19 pandemic halted R&D activities in various industries, except the healthcare sector. However, the acceleration in the vaccination drive, assisted in the functioning of various industries, including food & beverage industry. The market is estimated to reach the pre-COVID level by end of 2021.
Rising food demand owing to increasing population is anticipated to drive the market growth.
Growing awareness about healthy lifestyles due to sedentary life and rising demand for processed food are major factors that are estimated to spur the growth of the market.
Stringent government regulation and reduced arable land can create challenges for the market growth.
Strong resistance to genetically modified products among consumers can hamper the market growth.
Lack of awareness and absence of advanced technologies in the low and middle-income countries can inhibit the market growth. However, the increasing foreign investments is stimulating the market growth in these countries.
Advancements in testing services for developing new products is anticipated to positively influence the growth of the market.
Rising investments in R&D activities is expected to propel the market growth.
Increasing penetration of advanced technologies to develop new products through gene alteration of various plants and microbes can create new market avenues during the forecast period.
