What are the Major Trends and Developments in the US Seed Market?

Rising Utilization of Big Data for Farm Improvements: The US seed and agriculture industry is increasingly using data analytics to improve the operational efficiency and yield of seeds and crops.

Combining Biotech and Agriculture Technology: Biotech combined with agriculture technology is being done to alter plant and seed DNA by executing tests and experiments in order to find a method of preventing the planting and harvesting issues faced by farmers.

Rising Penetration of Hydroponics Farming: Hydroponic farming is a method for growing plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent. Hydroponic farming has resulted in better germination rates of seed and the seeds required per acre are comparatively less.

Surge in Rooftop and Urban Farming: Urban farming, also known as urban agriculture, is growing or producing food in a city or heavily populated town or municipality.

Drones and Crop Monitoring: Drones are being used for crop monitoring and seed plantation widely across the United States as a means to combat drought and other harmful environmental factors.

Consolidation of Large Suppliers: the large companies are penetrating the seed distribution channel by the process of supplier consolidation by taking two market shares of different suppliers and combining them into one big share.

They have strong presence in all major crops sown in the US Market, these mainly include, corn, soybean, vegetables, and cotton. Their strong presence in the crop protection division helps them to provide one stop solution for cropping and crop protection. These companies are also the biggest investor in R&D activities for seed development.

An estimated USD ~ billion was invested in R&D for seed business by Bayer Monsnto. The company has ~ R&D sites with more than ~ employees whereas Dow Dupont has ~ R&D facilities in crop protection and Seed business.

AgReliant brands made USD ~ million (North America Corn Seed Sales for KWS), Corn Seed (US Market): USD ~ million. Soybean Seed (US Market) USD ~ million.

Syngenta traits are developed under brand name Golden Harvest, NK seeds, Agrisure, Enogen, Agripro and Nexgrow and are major seed brands from the Syngenta group.

Bayer- Monsento Vegetable seed (Global Market) was estimated to be USD ~ million.

What is the Future of Seeds Industry in the US?

US Seed industry is expected to register a CAGR of 1.8% during the outlook period 2018-2023.

Huge consolidation in the market has reduced the number of major players in the US Seed market to less than five. In future it is less likely that more consolidation may happen among the existing top players. Many new traits and seed varieties are under development and are expected to be launched in the next five years. Enlist E3 soybean is launched in 2019 and will be ramped up in 2020.

Companies are expecting to save million in cost synergy as part of merger. Dow Dupont expected benefits from merger in terms of cost was estimated at USD ~ billion by 2021. Bayer is expecting the same synergy of USD ~ billion from its acquisition of Monsanto. Dow Dupont is expecting that sale of new products in the seed segment will add USD ~ billion in revenue. Its new product to be launched include powercore, widestrike3 etc. Bayer is planning Annual germplasm upgrades. BASF which acquired the seed business of Bayer is expected to become a significant player in the US seed industry. Demand for organic and non GMO seeds are expected to rise and being sold at premium considering the rising demand for organic vegetables and other food products.

RR2 Xtend soybean trait, first developed by Monsanto, now belongs to Bayer, but will be available from a variety of seed companies via licensing agreements in 2019.

It allows growers to spray dicamba and glyphosate postemergence over the top of the crop.

LibertyLink soybean technology confers tolerance to glufosinate (Liberty) herbicide. Bayer and MS Technologies collaborated to develop this in 2009. For the 2019 seed sales season, the technology now rests in the hands of BASF, which purchased it from Bayer as part of anti-trust remediation.

GT27 soybeans, developed by MS Technologies, Bayer and Mertec LLC, confer tolerance to glyphosate and a new HPPD/Group 27 herbicide. The trait is commercially available in 2019, but the corresponding herbicide, ALITE 27 (previously Balance Bean), is not yet registered for use in soybeans.
