According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the United States Agricultural Biotechnology Market Size is anticipated to reach USD 105,814.7 Million by 2035, Growing at a CAGR of 5.70% from 2025 to 2035. The expansion of the United States Agricultural Biotechnology market is propelled by the development of gene editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9, which greatly improve crop yields by making crops resistant to environmental stress and pests. The industry is also growing as a result of the growing demand for environmentally friendly farming methods and less chemical use.

Market Overview

Agricultural biotechnology is the application of scientific techniques to modify and enhance microorganisms, plants, and animals for use in agriculture. To increase agricultural productivity, resistance to pests and diseases, and environmental adaptability, it uses technologies like as tissue culture, genetic engineering, and molecular markers. The increased production of biotech crops, along with significant investment in agricultural research and development, has made the agricultural biotechnology market one of the fastest-growing sectors. Agricultural biotechnology is essential for making plants more resilient to diseases and adverse environmental conditions. Additionally, it is increasing the productivity of agriculture. Because more biotech crops are being grown in the US, there is a growing need for agricultural biotechnology. This factor is anticipated to support the market expansion for nanobiotechnology. When it comes to the broad domain of biotech plant agriculture, the United States is a leading region. The US planted 72.9 million hectares of biotech crops in 2016, up from 70.9 million hectares in 2015, according to the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications. Throughout the projected period, the market's expansion will be encouraged by the growing cultivation of biotech plants.

The U.S. government is a strong supporter of biotech innovations, providing USD 7.5 million to the Agricultural Biotechnology Education and Outreach Initiative (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, July 2024 article). Through its collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the FDA brings out a number of initiatives that focus on increasing visible knowledge and comprehension of agricultural biotechnology, particularly as it relates to genetically modified food and animal feed ingredients. Such programs show a region's attention to educating its people and promoting biotech solutions in agriculture.
