Driving Factors

The agricultural biotechnology market in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has declared that North America is undergoing more intense weather events, including droughts, floods, and heat waves, which in turn pushed the biotechnological industry to develop new plant varieties with the ability to withstand these extreme conditions through breeding. Sustainable developments such as biofertilizers, biopesticides, and microbial solutions, which lessen dependence on chemicals, are also taking place and reflecting positively on nature. There is a growing demand as governments’ actions to promote organic farming and sustainable agriculture continue to support this industry.

Restraining Factors

The agricultural biotechnology market in North America is restrained by the intricate and ever-changing legal structures governing genetically modified organisms (GMOs), along with other biotechnological products. Heavy regulations, mandatory labelling, and constant public scrutiny can make it more difficult to bring biotech crops to market and on top of all that, limited farmers' knowledge about the benefits of biotech. It takes extensive research, testing, and validation in the field to develop biotech crops and bio-inputs.

Market Segmentation

The North America agricultural biotechnology market share is categorised into organism and application.

• The plants segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The North America agricultural biotechnology market is segmented by organism into plants, animals, microbes, and others. Among these, the plants segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. In 2024, plants accounted for the highest revenue share among all segments at 45.34%. This was mainly due to the large-scale cultivation of genetically modified crops that provide the advantages of higher yields, pest resistance, and resilience to climate change. The increasing adoption of CRISPR-edited and biofortified crops is another factor that enhances the market penetration in developing countries, particularly

• The transgenic crops and animals segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.  

Based on application, the North America agricultural biotechnology market is segmented into vaccine development, transgenic crops and animals, antibiotic development, nutritional supplements, flower culturing, and biofuels.
