Increasing demand and production of tomatoes, growing consumer awareness regarding health benefits of tomato seeds, and high investments for the development of greenhouses to plant tomatoes are major factors driving growth of the global tomato seeds market during the forecast period. For instance, as Dr. Martin Brudermüller, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors, and Dr. Hans-Ulrich Engel, Chief Financial Officer, explained during the presentation of the figures for 2022, BASF increased sales by 11.1 percent. However, seeds used for growing tomatoes in greenhouses differ from the seeds used for growing tomatoes under natural conditions. Therefore, the price of seeds used for greenhouse-produced tomatoes is comparatively higher than the cost of seeds used in natural environment. This is expected to restrain growth of the global tomato seeds market in forecast period.
