Plant Phenotyping Market by Product (Equipment (Site, Platform/Carrier, Application, Analysis Systems, Automation Level), Sensors (Image Sensors, NDVI Sensors, Temperature Sensors), and Software), Service, and Region - Global Forecast to 2027
The global plant phenotyping market in terms of revenue was estimated to be worth $238 million in 2022 and is poised to reach $437 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 12.9% from 2022 to 2027.
The plant phenotyping market is a rapidly growing industry that is driven by the increasing demand for food security and crop improvement. Plant phenotyping technologies such as high-throughput phenotyping, imaging, and sensor-based systems are being used to improve crop yields and quality, as well as to develop new crop varieties that are more resistant to pests and diseases. This market is also driven by advances in technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics, which are enabling the development of more sophisticated and efficient plant phenotyping systems. Plant phenotyping is the process of measuring and describing various physical and physiological characteristics of plants, such as their shape, size, color, and structural compounds. These characteristics make up the plant's phenome, which is the sum of all its phenotypic properties. The goal of plant phenotyping is to quantify these properties in a precise and objective manner.

Impact of Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a historical impact on businesses across various industries in a short time, including the food and beverage supply chain. The biggest misconception about COVID-19 is that empty grocery shelves are an indicator that there is a shortage of food due to the recent runs on grocery stores, which have created these short-term disruptions as the supply chain works to catch up and replenish.
The pandemic will have both positive and negative impacts on the overall plant phenotyping market. The sales of plant-based foods have increased as consumers rush to stock their pantries. It is expected that the COVID-19 pandemic will increase the consumption of processed foods and other shelf-stable foods that have a longer shelf-life. Furthermore, with the shutdown of various foodservice outlets and restaurants across the globe due to nationwide lockdown, consumers are compelled to cook at home. Hence, consumers stockpile food products that can be easily cooked and opt for ready-to-eat foods with longer shelf life.
Plant Phenotyping Market Dynamics
Drivers: Growing importance of sustainable crop production using improved crop varieties
Plant-based products are facing challenges due to the increasing requirement for food, feed, and raw material. Therefore, it is necessary to integrate approaches across all scales—from the molecular level to field applications—to develop sustainable plant production with higher crop yield and using limited resources. Plant breeders use a wide range of plant defense and resistance mechanisms developed by plants over millions of years of co-evolution with harmful organisms.
The use of new high-yielding plant varieties that are able to adapt to changing climatic conditions and require less use of pesticides can help in mitigating the gap in the food supply. Improved crop varieties can be achieved through phenotype- and genome-based breeding. Plant phenotyping links genomics with plant physiology and agronomy.
Restraints: Low adoption in emerging economies due to limited funding and less presence of key players
Plant phenotyping networks such as APPN and China Plant Phenotyping Network are established in these countries to increase the visibility and impact of plant phenotyping and enable cooperation Though the EPPN is aiming to establish plant phenotyping networks in different countries outside Europe to increase research for the advancement of plant phenotyping systems, there is less adoption in emerging economies such as Japan, India, South Korea, and countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East.
Additionally, the presence of key players offering plant phenotyping equipment and services is low in these countries. Hence, the awareness regarding the benefits of plant phenotyping is less among plant breeders. However, in 2021, conferences focusing on plant phenotyping were organized in countries such as China and Australia.
Opportunities: Attractive opportunities for field-based phenotyping using remote sensing tools
Field-based phenotyping is considered an important component of crop improvement. With the development of automatic and multifunctional platforms for high-throughput field-based phenotyping, such as unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), cable-suspended vehicles (CSVs), and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the bottleneck of plant phenotyping would be relaxed to provide plant scientists with a new insight into all aspects of living plants.
Advancements in remote sensing techniques of field-based phenotypes would help in finding relevant solutions for major problems that limit crop production. In regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific (especially Australia), there would be high demand for remote-sensing tools for field-based phenotyping due to less availability of manpower
Challenges: High cost associated with plant phenotyping
The cost of plant phenotyping equipment depends on factors such as the degree of automation, throughput, size, and the number of sensors. Also, it depends on the plant phenotyping market for phenotyping instruments and the number of suppliers present in the market. A major concern for users regarding plant phenotyping systems has been the cost, which is relatively higher than genotyping.
Although many market players have entered this industry in the last few decades to offer various plant phenotyping equipment and services, constant R&D is required to sustain in the market and to ascertain plant phenotyping as an established method in plant breeding research.
