Hybrids dominate the seed market in the country with the increase in the concerns for higher yield

• In India, hybrids dominated over open-pollinated varieties, accounting for USD 2.3 billion in 2022. Farmers are adopting and using more hybrid seeds, considering the pest-resistant properties of these seeds that reduce the losses and cost of production.​
• The per capita availability of arable land decreasing to 0.11 ha in 2020 from 0.12 ha in 2016 is considered a driver for India's commercial seed industry.
• In 2022, hybrid seed usage increased in the country by adopting transgenic cotton hybrids, single-cross corn hybrids, oil-rich oilseed hybrids, and hybrid vegetables. This increased demand for hybrid seeds has boosted the market for commercial seeds. This trend has encouraged farmers to shift their focus from conventional seed sources to packaged seeds that promise better yields.​
• In commercial seed cultivation acreage in 2022, hybrids alone accounted for 80.6% of the area, whereas OPVs accounted for 19.4% in India.​ Therefore, the seed market is estimated to increase as hybrid usage grows in the country.
• The major breeding techniques include selecting plants based on natural variants, hybridizing, and choosing specific genes or marker profiles using molecular tools. The main objective of these techniques is the selection of better plant types among variants in terms of yield, quality, and pest resistance.
• The scenario post-adoption of hybrids and improved OPVs has resulted in many advantages, such as yield improvement, ensuring higher prices, and availability of seeds at an affordable price. These factors will drive the growth of the Indian seed market in the forecast period.
