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.
Competitive Landscape in US Seed Market
The US seed
market revenue at manufacturers’ price is valued at USD ~ billion in 2018. The
market is largely driven by demand from corn and soybean seed market.
The market
is largely concentrated with Bayer and Dow Dupont together accounting for
majority of the market. 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.
