Asia Pacific Agricultural Biotechnology Market 2020-2030

Asia Pacific agricultural biotechnology market will grow by 15.8% annually with a total addressable market cap of $130.9 billion over 2021-2030 owing to the rising population, the burgeoning demand for food, and the rising adoption of enhanced technologies for crop cultivation. 

Biotechnology is a technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms, or parts of this to develop or create different products. Brewing and baking bread are instances of processes that fall within the concept of biotechnology to produce the desired product). Such traditional processes usually utilize the living organisms in their natural form (or further developed by breeding), while the more modern form of biotechnology will generally involve a more advanced modification of the biological system or organism. Today, biotechnology covers many different disciplines. New technologies and products are developed every year within the areas of agriculture which includes development of genetically modified plants, biofuels, biological treatment. Agricultural biotechnology is built with competencies and technical skills that describe the fundamental use of it in plant as medicine and food and defined as a set of tools that use living organisms or parts of it to make or modify a product, improve plants, trees, or develop microorganisms for specific uses pertaining to food production as a big picture to provide food security to the people

The agricultural biotechnology market is growing due to the increased incidence of chronic diseases and the rise in technological advancement. Moreover, an increasing number of product approval is another factor that accelerating the biotechnology market growth. The agricultural biotechnology sector (Ag Biotech) shares a common scientific foundation with the therapeutic biotechnology sector, including similar characteristics of a lengthy time to market for emerging products. But the challenges, goals, and opportunities for agricultural applications of biotechnology provide a very different context for innovation and entrepreneurs. Now just 30 years old, the Ag Biotech sector is entering its third cycle of innovation, with the first wave being agricultural biotechnology trait creation followed by a second wave of Ag Biotech trait commercialization. The agricultural trait segment continues to focus on two product categories, herbicide tolerance and insect resistance, in spite of few entrepreneurial opportunities available. However, Ag Biotech applications to chemistries, biopesticides, microbials, and natural products offer new opportunities. These sectors offer new business opportunities that, like the first wave of Ag Biotech, enable entrepreneurs to think about creating disruptive businesses, not just disruptive technologies for today’s business models. Everything in life has its benefits and risks, and genetic engineering is no exception. Much has been said about potential risks of genetic engineering technology, but so far there is little evidence from scientific studies that these risks are real. Transgenic organisms can offer a range of benefits above and beyond those that emerged from innovations in traditional agricultural biotechnology, these innovation in genetic engineering segment propels the market for agricultural biotechnology. Application of this practice among the agriculture market helped the farmer in many ways. Firstly, using of these practices helps to achieve desired results in terms of product quality for the farmer and with respect to the consumer. The biotech agricultural practice also helps to increase the nutrient value of the product which is desirable for the seller as well as the buyer. Also, the biotech have recently focused on developing crops with higher resistance to climate and insects which eliminates the risk of environmental change and also deduce the use of chemical fertilizers.  

Agricultural biotechnology has the potential to advance crop productivity production enhancement and improve food security at regional as well as global level. There is a growing alarm about the genetically engineered crops and its environment effects on food chain. Though, acceptance of such technologies has consequences, there is need for creating biosafety regulatory systems to decrease and eradicate possible potential risks arising from agricultural biotechnology on flora and fauna. For example,  India, as a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity and Cartagena Protocol, has acquired the responsibility of strengthening her biosafety structure very sincerely. 

COVID-19 Impact
The market was affected by the pandemic with situations like lockdowns and economic distress. But practices like agriculture were essential for sustaining the population and thus were affected moderately. The demand for non-toxic products during the pandemic saw a rise in with the consumer shifting towards more health-conscious trends. Along with this the need for better yield boosted the market growth. But on the other hand, the market also faced problems as the high initial cost was something the farmers were not looking forward to during economic uncertainty.
