Major trends witnessed in the hybrid seeds industry are advancements in biotechnology including genetic engineering techniques and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. These technologies enable the launch or modification of specific attributes in hybrid seeds such as disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, and improved nutritional content. The significant driver in the hybrid seed market has always been high crop yield, which will help agriculturists earn profits and fulfill the increasing worldwide demand for food.
Another major driver is the growing inclination for crops that provide enhanced nutritional value such as increased levels of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other health-promoting compounds. This is in tandem with the increased demand for functional food and nutraceuticals among modern consumers.
