The market is expected to witness growth over the forecast period due to factors such as rising demand for transgenic crops and increasing limitations of conventional propagation techniques. There has been growing adoption of plant tissue culture technique among farmers and researchers across various sectors including food production and horticulture due to advantages such as consistency in quality, higher yield, disease resistance and more productive life cycle. The advancements in biotechnological methods further expands the scope of applications for plant tissue culture. Key market players are investing in new technologies to commercialize the mass-scale micropropagation of elite cultivars through this technique.

Advances in plant biotechnology and genetics

Due to advancements in plant biotechnology and genetics, there is now potential to produce disease-resistant and higher yielding crop varieties through plant tissue culture methods. By using cell and tissue culture techniques, desirable traits from elite plant varieties can be isolated and transferred to other varieties through processes such as protoplast fusion and genetic transformation. Researchers are developing innovative methods to genetically modify plant cells to make them resistant to herbicides, insects, fungi, viruses and other stresses. This offer possibilities to customize crop varieties suitable for different agro-climatic conditions. Development of transgenic plants can increase agricultural productivity by reducing yield losses from biotic and abiotic stresses. The ability to reproduce superior varieties of plants at a commercial scale independently of seasons can ensure food security. Plant tissue culture plays a vital role in facilitating plant biotechnology applications and bringing welfare to society through its contributions to agriculture. For instance, on June 10, 2025, the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) successfully concluded the 2025 BIO International Convention in San Diego, held from June 3-6, 2025. The event brought together 1,400 exhibitors and more than 19,500 attendees from 70 countries for four days of programming aimed at advancing the biotechnology industry. BIO 2025 also set a new record with over 61,000 partnering meetings. The convention highlighted innovative breakthroughs in patient advocacy, policy initiatives, and next-generation biotherapeutics aimed at addressing global challenges.
