The increasing global population necessitates a higher agricultural output to ensure food security. Commercial seeds, designed for improved yield, resistance to pests and diseases, and better nutritional value, play a crucial role in addressing these concerns.

Biotechnology and Genetically Modified (GM) Seeds: Biotechnology has revolutionized the commercial seeds industry. Genetically modified seeds are engineered to exhibit traits such as pest resistance, drought tolerance, and enhanced nutritional content. These traits offer benefits to both farmers and consumers, driving the adoption of GM seeds in various crops. However, the trend also raises concerns about environmental impact and food safety, leading to ongoing debates and regulatory scrutiny.

The global commercial seeds market is analyzed based on its regional presence, which includes North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. In the global commercial seeds market, North America stands out as a dominant region. With advanced agricultural practices, significant investments in research and development, and a strong emphasis on biotechnology, North America holds a significant share in the commercial seeds market. The region's adoption of genetically modified (GM) and hybrid seeds has contributed to its dominance, especially in crops like corn, soybeans, and cotton.
