Plant Genotyping Equipment Market Report 2026

The plant genotyping equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.55 billion in 2025 to $1.7 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of advanced sequencing tools, increasing focus on plant trait identification, early adoption of pcr technologies, rising research funding for crop improvement, growing demand for genetic diversity analysis.

The plant genotyping equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.41 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rapid expansion of ngs-based genotyping, increasing integration of ai-driven data analysis, rising investment in automated lab systems, growing adoption of snp-based genotyping, expanding applications in precision agriculture. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for high-throughput genotyping systems, increasing use of portable and automated genotyping tools, rising adoption of precision breeding programs, expansion of dna extraction and amplification innovations, enhanced integration of multi-platform genotyping technologies.

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.

Tariffs on laboratory instruments, sequencing reagents, and imported analytical equipment have increased procurement and operational expenses for plant genotyping facilities, with PCR machines, NGS platforms, and microarray systems being most affected due to their reliance on global supply chains. Regions dependent on imported biotechnology tools, particularly in Asia-Pacific and Latin America, face delays and higher costs. However, tariffs may stimulate domestic manufacturing and innovation, supporting long-term resilience in genotyping equipment availability.

This plant genotyping equipment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

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.North America was the largest region in the plant genotyping equipment market in 2025.
