Plant Genotyping Equipment Global Market Report 2025

The plant genotyping equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.42 billion in 2024 to $1.55 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth during the historic period can be linked to the increasing need for high-yield, resilient crops, growing awareness of climate change impacts on agriculture, expanded use of genomics in plant breeding, rising demand for climate-resilient crop varieties, and greater emphasis on sustainable farming practices.

The plant genotyping equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.21 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period is expected to result from rising demand for high-throughput genotyping, increased adoption of molecular breeding techniques, growing need for precision agriculture practices, increasing demand for food, and improvements in precision and efficiency in plant breeding programs. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in high-throughput genotyping, enhanced automation in sample processing, integration of real-time data monitoring systems, progress in genome-wide association studies, and adoption of automated sample tracking and management.

The increasing demand for precision agriculture is expected to drive the growth of the plant genotyping equipment market in the coming years. Precision agriculture is a farming management approach that uses technologies such as GPS, sensors, and data analytics to optimize field-level management for crop production. This need for precision agriculture is growing due to rising global food demand, as it allows farmers to optimize resources and increase crop yields efficiently. Plant genotyping equipment plays a crucial role in this by accurately identifying genetic traits in crops, enabling farmers to implement targeted cultivation strategies that improve efficiency and productivity. For example, in January 2024, the U.S. Government Accountability Office reported that 27% of U.S. farms and ranches had adopted precision agriculture practices for managing crops or livestock in 2023. As a result, the growing demand for precision agriculture is propelling the growth of the plant genotyping equipment market.

Leading companies in the plant genotyping equipment market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as large-scale low-pass whole genome sequencing workflows, to enhance precision and efficiency in agricultural research. These workflows combine advanced sequencing technologies with streamlined processes to provide comprehensive genomic data at a lower cost and in less time. For instance, in June 2024, MGI Tech, a China-based genomics company, launched its Whole Workflow Solution for Agricultural Large-Scale Low-pass Whole Genome Sequencing. This solution enables rapid and cost-effective genomic analysis to support crop breeding and research, improving both productivity and sustainability. It simplifies operations through integrated platforms, eliminating the need for complex procedures. This advancement broadens genomic capabilities for breeders, researchers, and agricultural enterprises.

In November 2024, Solis Agrosciences Inc., a U.S.-based biotechnology research company, acquired Ferris Genomics' sequencing and bioinformatics platform for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Solis Agrosciences to enhance its plant genotyping and molecular breeding capabilities, expand its research portfolio, and improve service efficiency by integrating Ferris Genomics' advanced genomic technologies and expertise. Ferris Genomics is a U.S.-based biotechnology research company specializing in plant genotyping services.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The accelerated imposition of U.S. tariffs and the emerging trade conflicts in spring 2025 are significantly influencing the agriculture sector by increasing input costs for seeds, fertilizers, and machinery parts sourced from abroad. Tariffs on imported agrochemicals and farm equipment have raised production expenses for growers, while retaliatory measures from key trading partners have reduced export opportunities for U.S. crops such as corn, wheat, and dairy products. As a result, many farmers are experiencing shrinking profit margins and heightened financial stress. In response, agricultural producers are diversifying crop portfolios, adopting precision farming technologies to reduce input waste, and advocating for government subsidies and market access relief.

Plant genotyping equipment refers to specialized instruments and tools used to analyze the genetic makeup of plants by identifying variations in DNA sequences. This equipment allows researchers and breeders to detect genetic differences, study gene functions, and select desirable traits such as disease resistance, yield potential, or stress tolerance.

The primary types of plant genotyping equipment include polymerase chain reaction (PCR) machines, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencers, microarray equipment, and others. PCR machines are laboratory devices designed to amplify specific DNA sequences through repeated heating and cooling cycles. These tools utilize technologies such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), next-generation sequencing (NGS), microarray analysis, DNA sequencing, and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping. They support workflow phases including sample collection, nucleic acid extraction, amplification and targeting, data analysis and interpretation, and result reporting. Plant genotyping equipment is applied in plant research, breeding, product development, and quality assessment by various end-users, including academic and research institutions, agricultural biotechnology companies, seed companies, government research organizations, and private laboratories.
