사료용 종자 시장 규모, 점유율 및 동향 분석 보고서 : 육종 기술별, 작물별, 지역별 및 부문별 전망(2026-2033년)

The global forage seed market size was valued at USD 5.1 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 5.3 billion in 2026 to USD 7.2 billion in 2033, at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2026 to 2033. Asia Pacific dominated the market, accounting for a revenue share of 20.0% in 2025. Owing to the significant growth in demand for high-quality seeds used in livestock feed, primarily driven by the increasing global livestock population. As the demand for meat and dairy products rises, farmers are seeking effective ways to enhance the nutritional value of animal feed.

Another key factor contributing to this demand is the growing emphasis on sustainable agricultural practices and soil health improvement. Farmers are recognizing the benefits of integrating these crops into their farming systems, as they not only provide essential nutrients for livestock but also enhance soil fertility and structure. This dual benefit is particularly important in regions facing challenges such as soil degradation and climate change. The rising awareness of the importance of sustainable farming practices is encouraging more farmers to invest in these crops, further driving market demand.

In addition, socio-economic factors play a crucial role in shaping the market landscape. The shift in consumer preferences towards organic and natural animal products is influencing farmers to adopt high-quality seeds that align with these trends. As consumers become more health-conscious and environmentally aware, the demand for organic meat and dairy products is expected to rise. This shift is prompting livestock producers to seek seeds that not only improve animal health but also enhance the overall sustainability of their farming operations, thereby reinforcing the market growth trajectory.

Globally, the market for seeds used in livestock feed is expanding rapidly. This growth is fueled by the increasing demand for organic and high-nutritional animal feeds, as consumers become more health-conscious and environmentally aware. The rise in livestock numbers, coupled with a growing appetite for protein-rich meat products, is driving farmers to seek out superior seed varieties that can enhance feed quality and yield. Regions such as North America and Europe are leading the market, with North America accounting for a significant share due to its advanced agricultural practices and high livestock production.
