The global organic seeds market was valued at USD 2.91 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach USD 3.33 billion in 2025 from USD 9.69 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 14.3% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.
With the increasing popularity of organic food and organic farming and increasing environmental awareness regarding the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the need for organic seeds is increasing, which enhances the growth of this market in the aforementioned forecast period.
Organic farming is an alternative agricultural system that relies on fertilizers of organic origin like compost, manure, green manure, and bone meal and emphasizes techniques like crop rotation. Organic farming does not use harmful chemical fertilizers like pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides. Seed crops are sown for a longer duration than food crops. In order to collect seeds, plants must complete their entire life cycle, with additional time required for drying and curing seeds. Non-synthetic food products have better taste, higher antioxidant characteristics, and more nutritional value.
The growth of the organic seeds market is driven by the growing awareness regarding the negative health impact caused by utilizing chemicals in agriculture, growing environmental concerns over conventional agricultural practices, increasing demand for non-synthetic products in the Food and Beverage industry, and favorable regulatory frameworks pertaining to organic farming in developed regions. However, the high costs of organic seeds and supply-demand woes are likely to hamper the growth of the market. Also, initiatives taken by the government and agencies related to agriculture hold great future potential for the market.
