Depending on the type, the tomato seed market is segmented into open-pollinated varieties and hybrids. Open-pollinated seeds produce plants genetically equivalent to the parent plant, whereas the cross-section of two pollinated varieties produces combinations. Open-pollinated varieties tend to have the largest market share due to their nature of being grown. Naturally, that would never cause any health complications.
Based on growing technology, the tomato seed market is segmented into protected cultivation and open-field cultivation. Among these, protection cultivation technology holds the highest demand and continues during the forecast period. Most farmers were adopted to preserve cultivation yield since, in polyhouse cultivation, crops are protected from seasonal changes. Coming to open house cultivation, the crops were not covered, and there was a high risk of contamination and evaporation loss. On the other hand, polyhouse cultivation ensures the increase in production of vegetables, maintains color & quality, helps protect the crops from outer birds & animals; crops can be grown throughout the year and helps prevent the crops from getting damaged by insects & pests. Polyhouse cultivation also majorly helps in increasing the yield by 5 to 10 times. Owing to these factors, polyhouse cultivation plays a dominant role in the tomato seed market.

On the other hand, China tends to be the largest shareholder in APAC, accounting for almost 43% due to the increasing demand for processed foods, including pasta sauces, ketchup, and many more. Moreover, farmers are investing in protected cultivation and also other cultivation processes, including drip irrigation and plastic mulching, which led the tomato seed market to grow in APAC.
