Plant Phenotyping Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Component (Hardware, Software, Services), By Technology (Manual, Semi-automated, Automated difluoride), By Application (Plant Research, Breeding, Product Development, Quality Assurance, Others (Image analysis Pathology Biotechnology Modelling)) By End User (Laboratory, Greenhouse, Field) and Region Forecast 2019-2030

Plant Phenotyping Market size was valued at US$ 164.8 million in 2023 and and was expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.7% from 2024-2030. Plant breeding is based on phenotyping not just by heritage but also by need. A plant phenotype is the consequence of interactions between a stationary plant's DNA and all of the micro- and mega-environments it encounters during its existence. Plant phenotyping is a quantitative description of the anatomical, ontogenetical, physiological, and biochemical aspects of plants.

In recent years, we have seen an explosion of cutting-edge technologies developed through the collaborative efforts of multidisciplinary teams to aid the process of high-throughput plant phenotyping in plant breeding, initially only under controlled conditions and, more recently, also under real-world conditions. Rapid advances are being made in the field of non-destructive, image-analysis-based phenotyping, which allows for high-throughput assessment of plant properties. The discipline of image-based phenotyping has widened its focus over the last decade, from the first characterization of single-plant features in controlled settings to real-life applications of robust field approaches in plant plots and canopies. High-throughput plant phenotyping is the study of the entire cascade of changes that occur after DNA is translated into RNA (transcriptomics), which leads to the production of proteins (proteomics).

The core concept of molecular biology is that the cascade from DNA to RNA to proteins influences other plant phenotypic qualities such as metabolites (metabolomics), ions (ionomics), and, last but not least, morphological or architectural factors. The goal of phenotyping is to create a description of the anatomical, ontological, physiological, and biochemical aspects of the plant. However, plant phenotyping remains a barrier to breeding and farming, and the average plant breeding program has been slow to accept new innovations. Rapid technological advancements in various fields of science such as agriculture, equipment, software, and data analysis systems are the key driving factors for the plant phenotype market in the forecast period. Limited adoption of phenotyping in emerging economies due to limited funding and less presence of key players are major factors that curtail the market. Lack of Technological knowledge and conceptual awareness of this high throughput equipment are factors that affect the market during the forecast period.
