Rice Seeds Market by Type (Hybrid and Open-Pollinated Varieties), Grain Size (Long, Medium, and Short), Hybridization Technique (Two-Line and Three-Line), Treatment (Treated and Untreated Seeds), and Region - Global Forecast To 2023
[179 Pages Report] The rice seeds market is projected to reach USD 7.62 billion by 2023, from USD 5.47 billion in 2018, at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. The market for rice seeds is driven by factors such as the increasing technological advances in rice breeding, declining prices of hybrid rice seeds, growing adoption of hybrid rice seeds in the developed and developing countries, and rising seed replacement rate for paddy across Asian countries.

By seed size, long grain rice seeds are estimated to be most widely used in 2018. This is owing to the high rate of cultivation across various countries in North America and Asia. The limited application of short grain rice in the food industry is also aiding in driving the growth of these types of seeds. For instance, in Asian countries, Basmati and jasmine are some of the long-grain rice varieties that are exported from Asia in large quantities and have industrial importance from the perspective of rice millers in terms of price value. The major players in the market, such as Bayer and DowDuPont, focus on long rice grains, followed by medium-sized rice and short rice.
By treatment, untreated rice seeds account for a larger market size; however, treatment of seeds and their adoption has been gaining importance for field crops, such as corn, wheat, and soybean, to reduce crop loss from early pest attacks. However, the adoption of this technology for rice is still gradual across countries. Rice is mainly cultivated in Asian countries. However, farmers are reluctant to invest capital in crop inputs and prefer adopting the traditional techniques of crop protection. Due to the rising need for sustainable agriculture and integrated pest management guidelines laid by governments in Asian countries has encouraged farmers to adopt seed coating technologies. On account of these factors, this segment is projected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period.
By hybridization technique, the three-line system has a higher market share and is adopted more often by major players for hybrid seed production in Asian countries. Very few companies such as LongPing Hi-Tech and RiceTec Inc. have been relying on the two-line system for product development. The dearth of skilled labor and requirement of a controlled environment and huge land area for system set-up are the major factors restraining the growth of the two-line system in Asian countries. The US and China are the major countries that are staying ahead of the curve and adopting the two-line system owing to the benefits associated with it.
By region, the Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share. The region is a major consumer and producer of rice across the globe, and inadequate arable land in this region has encouraged farmers for better yield from their cultivation. Adoption of advanced technologies such as hybrid and certified seeds is also increasing in this region. Since rice cultivation in other regions of the world is comparatively low, the growth of the Asia Pacific market is projected to remain steady during the forecast period and is projected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period.
The market for the competitive landscape rice seeds is highly fragmented, with many players who have a global presence and strong R&D and technological capacities to meet the growing demand across the globe. New product launches and collaborations are some of the strategies which are being adopted by players in the rice seed market to penetrate new markets.

According to the International Seed Federation (ISF), rice accounted for nearly 5% of the global commercial seeds market in 2014. The major seed manufacturing companies have been expanding their product portfolio in Asian countries. Strong support from the government in terms of subsidies for hybrid seeds has encouraged farmers to adopt this technology in developing countries as well. The decline in prices of hybrid seeds, to bridge the difference between hybrids and OPV seeds, has also encouraged key players to invest in the market.
Open-pollinated varieties were estimated to dominate the rice seeds market in 2018. Increasing adoption of hybrid seeds and increasing seed replacement rate across the countries of Asia Pacific, particularly in India, Thailand, China, and Vietnam is projected to impact the market growth; however, due to the high prices of hybrid seeds, its adoption has been limited to these developing countries. According to industry experts, even though the consumption of hybrid seeds has been exponentially increasing, particularly in China and India, and hybrid seeds have been increasingly preferred by farmers, the market is dominated by open-pollinated varieties owing to the high price of the hybrids.
The advent of genetically modified rice seeds was projected to boost the rice seed market, after the success of Bt cotton. Most of the key players have also invested in the development and support of GM rice projects. The Golden Rice Project supported by Syngenta and the development of GM rice seeds by Mahyco was scheduled to be commercialized in the past few years. However, the stringent regulations against GM technology for edible crops have hindered the commercialization of this technology, and multiple projects got shelved due to the regulatory policies.
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share in the rice seeds market in 2017, followed by North America due to the high adoption of commercial open-pollinated varieties and hybrid rice seeds over farm-saved seeds to increase rice yield in countries such as China, India, Thailand, and the US. Development of improved hybrid seeds and the subsidy benefits provided by the government to encourage the adoption of hybrid seeds over farm-saved or OPV seeds have contributed to the growth of this market. The major factors restraining the adoption of hybrid seeds are their high cost as compared to OPV seeds and the lack of awareness about the advantages of hybrids on crop yield and profit margins. Also, the lack of skilled professionals and infrastructural facilities in the developing countries for hybridization techniques is projected to hinder the growth potential of this market.
The global market for rice seeds is dominated by key players such as Bayer (Germany), DowDuPont (US), Syngenta (Switzerland), Advanta Seeds (UPL) (India), and Nuziveedu Seeds (India). Some of the emerging players in the rice seed market include Mahyco (India), BASF (Germany), Kaveri Seeds (India), SL Agritech (Philippines), Rasi seeds (India), Rallis (India), JK Seeds (India), Hefei Fengle (China), LongPing (China), Guard Agri (Pakistan), and National Seeds Corporation (India).
