수수 및 수수 종자 시장 예측(-2030년) : 유형별, 색상별, 품종별, 유통 채널별, 용도별, 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Sorghum & Sorghum Seeds Market is accounted for $12.73 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $16.53 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period. Sorghum, a versatile cereal grain, thrives in arid and semiarid regions, making it a vital crop in diverse agricultural landscapes worldwide. Rich in nutrients and gluten-free, it serves as a staple food for millions and a valuable source of animal feed and biofuel. Sorghum seeds, known for their resilience, are integral to sustainable farming practices due to their drought tolerance and adaptability to various soil types.

According to the Agricultural Marketing Resource Center (AgMRC) Organization, the global area planted to sorghum has increased by 66% in the previous 50 years.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand for gluten-free grains

Sorghum stands out as an excellent gluten-free alternative, offering nutritional benefits such as high fiber and protein content. As health-conscious consumers seek alternatives to traditional grains like wheat, maize, and barley, sorghum's versatility in various food products, including flour, cereals, and snacks, positions it as a favourable choice. This demand shift towards gluten-free options propels the expansion of sorghum cultivation and drives market growth across diverse regions.

Restraint:

Volatility in global commodity markets

Volatility in global commodity markets alters the prices which impacts investment decisions and market stability. Uncertainty in pricing affects profit margins for growers and traders, making it difficult to plan production and manage supply chains effectively. Additionally, sudden price spikes or drops can disrupt trade flows. Overall, the unpredictability in commodity markets undermines confidence in sorghum as a viable agricultural commodity, impeding its growth potential.

Opportunity:

Growing adoption of sorghum as a biofuel feedstock

Sorghum's high cellulose content and ability to thrive in diverse climates make it an attractive option for biofuel production. As governments worldwide implement renewable energy policies and seek alternatives to fossil fuels, demand for sorghum as a biofuel feedstock continues to rise. This trend not only expands the market for sorghum seeds but also incentivizes research and development efforts to enhance sorghum varieties tailored specifically for bio energy purposes, further driving market growth.

Threat:

Concerns over genetic modification and biotechnology

Consumer skepticism and regulatory scrutiny surrounding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) deter market acceptance in many regions. Additionally, there are challenges related to maintaining non-GMO or organic certifications, impacting market access and premium pricing. Such concerns limit research and development investment in biotech traits for sorghum, constraining the development of improved varieties with enhanced traits such as drought tolerance and pest resistance, ultimately hampering market expansion and adoption.

Covid-19 Impact

The covid-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the sorghum and sorghum seeds market. Disruptions in supply chains, labor shortages, and logistical challenges initially hampered production and distribution. However, increased consumer demand for nutritious and shelf-stable food products during lockdowns provided a boost to the market. Additionally, government support for agriculture mitigated some of the economic impacts. Overall, while the pandemic presented short-term challenges, the resilient nature of the Sorghum market, coupled with shifting consumer preferences towards healthier and sustainable options, has contributed to its ongoing stability and growth.

The hybrid sorghum seeds segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The hybrid sorghum seeds segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Hybrid sorghum seeds are genetically enhanced varieties developed through controlled cross-breeding of different sorghum strains to enhance desirable traits such as yield, disease resistance, and adaptability to various climates. Hybrid sorghum seeds play a vital role in modern agriculture by offering farmers improved crop performance and economic benefits. Their adoption continues to rise globally, particularly in regions with high sorghum cultivation, contributing to enhanced food security and sustainable agricultural practices.

The biofuel production segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The biofuel production segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to their high fermentable sugar content and biomass potential. Specifically bred varieties of sorghum seeds are cultivated to maximize biofuel yield. These seeds are processed to extract sugars, which can be fermented into ethanol, a renewable fuel alternative. Sorghum's adaptability to diverse climates and its ability to thrive in marginal lands make it an attractive feedstock for biofuel production, contributing to the sustainability of the energy sector while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period, driven by its versatile applications in food, feed, and industrial sectors. India, China, and Australia are key producers and consumers, contributing to the market's growth. Factors such as population growth, changing dietary preferences, and technological advancements in farming practices further propel the market forward. Overall, the Asia-Pacific Sorghum and Sorghum Seeds market reflects a dynamic landscape with promising opportunities for expansion.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The region's robust livestock industry drives demand for Sorghum as a key feed ingredient due to its nutritional qualities and drought tolerance. Additionally, Sorghum's versatility in ethanol production contributes to its demand as a renewable energy source. The United States stands out as a major producer and exporter of Sorghum, with Texas and Kansas leading production. With increasing awareness of Sorghum's health benefits and sustainable attributes, the North American market is poised for continued expansion.
