The North America plant tissue culture market is expected to grow from US$ 167.46 million in 2022 to US$ 277.27 million by 2028; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 8.8% from 2022 to 2028.

Increasing Demand for Transgenic Plants Boosts Plant Tissue Culture Market in North America

The DNA compositions of transgenic plants are modified using genetic engineering techniques to introduce a new trait into the plants, which does not occur naturally in them. Genetic modification usually includes either adding one or more genes to the plant genome. Transgenic plants are mainly developed to provide a particular nutrient profile to the crop and to cope with the elevating food demands by increasing yields. Millions of people worldwide suffer from malnutrition, which is more prevalent in developing and underdeveloped countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), ~462 million people were underweight in 2019. Per UNICEF, ~50% of the total deaths in children below 5 years of age are due to undernutrition. Moreover, in 2020, ~45.4 million children under the age of 5 were wasted, and ~13.6 million out of these were severely wasted. According to Global Change Data Lab, in 2019, 8.9% of the world’s population was undernourished. Undernourished people are those who have calorie intake below minimum energy requirements. Researchers focus on developing transgenic plants that provide the required calories to meet these calorie requirements. Thus, the demand for transgenic plants is fueling the growth of the plant tissue culture market.
