The next generation sequencing (ngs) in agrigenomics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.48 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of precision agriculture practices, rising investments in climate-resilient crop development, expansion of genomic data-driven farming, growing demand for sustainable food production, increasing government support for agrigenomics research. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-throughput sequencing platforms, rising use of ngs for crop trait improvement, growing integration of bioinformatics in agrigenomics, expansion of genomic-assisted breeding programs, enhanced focus on sustainable crop development.

The growing concerns over food security are expected to drive the growth of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in the agrigenomics market in the coming years. Food security refers to ensuring that all people have reliable access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs for an active and healthy life. These concerns are rising due to factors such as population growth, which increases the demand for food beyond current agricultural production capacities. NGS in agrigenomics supports food security by enabling the development of improved crop varieties with higher yields, enhanced disease resistance, and better climate adaptability. For example, in August 2025, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, food insecurity affected 13.5% (18 million) of American families in 2023, up from 12.8% (17 million) in 2022. Consequently, increasing concerns about food security are driving the expansion of the NGS in agrigenomics market.

Leading companies in the NGS in agrigenomics market are focusing on innovative technologies, such as single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels for targeted genotyping, to meet the rising demand for faster crop breeding, improved yields, and enhanced disease resistance. SNP panels are sets of DNA markers that allow precise detection of genetic variation across genomes, enabling breeders to select desirable traits more efficiently than traditional phenotypic selection, which relies on observable plant characteristics over multiple growing cycles. For instance, in May 2024, AgriPlex Genomics, a Cleveland, Ohio-based biotechnology company, launched the temperate maize panel, an advanced SNP panel specifically designed for temperate corn varieties. The panel includes 2,490 markers distributed across all 10 chromosomes and targets traits such as plant growth, kernel and cob morphology, flowering time, plant and ear height, ear dimensions, kernel mass, grain yield, grain moisture, and disease resistance. Developed in collaboration with academic partners, the panel enables marker-assisted breeding, increases throughput by allowing simultaneous genotyping of large populations, and significantly reduces costs compared with conventional sequencing methods.
