North America has dominated the global plant tissue culture market for many years now with an estimated market share of 38.3% in 2024. The region is home to some of the largest and most advanced agricultural and biotechnology companies that have established strong facilities and extensive R&D capabilities for plant tissue culture activities. Many new technologies related to micropropagation, somatic embryogenesis, mutation breeding, and others have emerged from the research labs in this region. The market growth is driven by large scale commercial production of disease-free planting material of various crops through tissue culture techniques. Bananas and potatoes constitute a major chunk of the tissue cultured crop output. The region also witnesses significant exports of tissue cultured plants to markets in Latin America and Asia Pacific.

Asia Pacific has emerged as the fastest growing regional market for plant tissue culture. Countries like China, India, Thailand, Indonesia are witnessing growth due to their large and growing agricultural economies. In India, tissue culture derived planting material now accounts for over 30% of the total banana production. The country has also ramped up its micropropagation capacity for other important crops like potatoes, sugarcane, and others. Meanwhile, countries like China and Vietnam are investing heavily in setting up advanced commercial tissue culture facilities to cater to their booming fruit and vegetable industries. Their exports of tissue cultured crops to other Asian and African nations have also increased manifold.
