- In 2022, sorghum hybrid seeds held a major share of 70.2% of the global sorghum seed market, while open-pollinated varieties and hybrid derivatives had a 29.8% share. The hybrid segment is estimated to grow by 52.4% in terms of value during 2023-2030. Hybrids contributed significantly to increased grain yields. Grain productivity has increased by 40% in Asia.
- Due to the high cost of hybrid seeds, the open-pollinated varieties and hybrid derivatives of sorghum are estimated to increase by 37.2% during the forecast period. Nigeria holds Africa's largest land under open-pollinated varieties and hybrid derivatives, accounting for about 20% of overall OPV acreage.
- Only non-transgenic sorghum seeds are available in the global hybrid sorghum seed market. Non-transgenic sorghum seeds account for approximately 70% of the global sorghum seed market. The non-transgenic sorghum seeds segment is estimated to grow, registering a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period.
- North America is the leading producer of hybrid sorghum. Hybrid varieties accounted for more than 80% of the sorghum grown in the region. Introducing hybrid sorghum varieties is driven by the rising export demand and the region's growing population. The United States holds a major share in using hybrid varieties in North America, accounting for 98% of sorghum cultivated in the country.
- Large-scale farmers do not use open-pollinated seed varieties, as they have lower yields, are more susceptible to disease, and need a lot of areas to grow compared to hybrid seeds. Thus, the hybrid segment is estimated to grow because of the various benefits associated with hybrids.

North America dominated the market due to higher adoption of hybrids and commercial seeds
- North America is one the largest sorghum producers in the world. The region accounted for 45.6% of the global sorghum seed market in 2022. The sorghum was the third-largest cereal grain grown in the United States, accounting for nearly 30% of all sorghum production worldwide. The area under sorghum cultivation in the United States increased by 30% between 2017 and 2022 because of the increased demand for various uses such as livestock feed and biofuel generation.
- In 2022, Africa accounted for an 18.9% share of the global sorghum seed market which showed a significant growth of 37.1% between 2017 and 2022. Nigeria is the largest sorghum producer in Africa, accounting for 51.4% of the African sorghum seed market in 2022.
- In Asia-Pacific, sorghum is one of the major cereal crops. The region accounted for 16.4% of the global sorghum seed market in 2022. The acreages under sorghum cultivation were 7.1 million ha in 2022, 15.6% more than the previous year. China holds a major share of 21.6% in the global sorghum seed market in 2022.
- In 2022, Brazil and Argentina accounted for 9.5% of the global sorghum seed market. The country's government is providing financial support to sorghum growers to meet the domestic demand due to the increasing demand from China to import sorghum from Brazil and Argentina.
- France is a major sorghum grower and exporter, accounting for 42.7% of the market for sorghum seeds in Europe in 2022. France's cultivation area increased by almost 50% between 2017 and 2022.
- The Middle East has a market share of 1.9% of the global sorghum seed market in 2022, which is comparatively significantly less despite the crop requiring less water.
Global Sorghum Seed Market Trends
Africa dominated the area under cultivation for sorghum due to its climatic conditions and water scarcity
- Sorghum is an important cereal crop grown globally for food and feed. It is most widely grown in the semi-arid tropics, where water availability is limited and frequently subjected to drought. The global sorghum cultivation area decreased by 8.2% from 2016 to 2022. Farmers prefer rice, wheat, and other cash crops over sorghum due to the high return on investment, leading to a decline in the acreage for sorghum.
- Africa has the largest area under cultivation for sorghum, which accounted for 69.5% of the global sorghum cultivation area in 2022. The acreage showed a decline of 6.2% between 2016 and 2022 due to the farmer's shift toward other crops, including corn, due to higher demand.
- In Asia-Pacific, the acreage under sorghum cultivation was 5.4 million hectares in 2022, representing 13.3 % of the global sorghum cultivation area. A factor driving the acreage under sorghum is its ability to yield and grow in dry and marginal land more than other crops. Its distinct genetics and composition allow it to grow in various climatic conditions where other crops cannot.
- In North America, the area under cultivation of sorghum increased by 13% between 2017 and 2022, which reached 4.1 million hectares in 2022. The United States alone accounted for 64.6% of North America's sorghum acreage in 2022. The rising export demand for sorghum, especially from the massive Chinese feed industry, is boosting seed sales from the commercially operated sorghum farms in the country. Thus, the acreage is expected to increase during the forecast period. South America and Europe have moderate markets for sorghum, and the cultivation area is low in these regions.

Sorghum seeds with traits such as wider adaptability, disease resistance, and early maturity are witnessing high growth to meet the demand of processing industries
- Sorghum is mainly cultivated in Africa and North America as a grain and forage for cattle feed. It is one of the staple foods in Africa, where water scarcity is high. It is also one of the grain crops that can withstand low water conditions. With the increase in the cattle population and changes in weather conditions over the past five years in the region (such as droughts in Africa), varieties tolerant to drought are becoming popular. Furthermore, with the changing weather and soil conditions, there has been an increase in biotic and abiotic stress, which has led to the growth of broader adaptability varieties being adopted by the growers to earn high profits by producing high-quality crops in adverse conditions. Companies such as Advanta Seeds, KWS Saat & Co., and Land O' Lakes are providing wider adaptability traits to meet this high demand.
- Disease-resistant traits, as well as resistance to downy mildew, root rots, downy mosaic virus, and other diseases, are other major traits that are very popular and widely cultivated. These diseases cause significant yield losses during field conditions. Therefore, these varieties resist these diseases and increase the productivity of the crops. Additionally, other traits such as resistance to pests (stem borers, shoot-fly, and midge fly), low and high tannin content, early-medium matured varieties, and the color of the grains (red, white, pearl white, etc.) are primarily used globally. KWS Fenixus and BRS 310 - Graniferous by KWS are the products that help in the early maturity of the crop.
- The demand for advanced traits is expected to increase in the future due to increased demand from consumers, the processing industry, and dairy farmers.

Sorghum Seed Industry Segmentation
Hybrids, Open Pollinated Varieties & Hybrid Derivatives are covered as segments by Breeding Technology. Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East, North America, South America are covered as segments by Region.
- In 2022, sorghum hybrid seeds held a major share of 70.2% of the global sorghum seed market, while open-pollinated varieties and hybrid derivatives had a 29.8% share. The hybrid segment is estimated to grow by 52.4% in terms of value during 2023-2030. Hybrids contributed significantly to increased grain yields. Grain productivity has increased by 40% in Asia.
- Due to the high cost of hybrid seeds, the open-pollinated varieties and hybrid derivatives of sorghum are estimated to increase by 37.2% during the forecast period. Nigeria holds Africa's largest land under open-pollinated varieties and hybrid derivatives, accounting for about 20% of overall OPV acreage.
- Only non-transgenic sorghum seeds are available in the global hybrid sorghum seed market. Non-transgenic sorghum seeds account for approximately 70% of the global sorghum seed market. The non-transgenic sorghum seeds segment is estimated to grow, registering a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period.
- North America is the leading producer of hybrid sorghum. Hybrid varieties accounted for more than 80% of the sorghum grown in the region. Introducing hybrid sorghum varieties is driven by the rising export demand and the region's growing population. The United States holds a major share in using hybrid varieties in North America, accounting for 98% of sorghum cultivated in the country.
- Large-scale farmers do not use open-pollinated seed varieties, as they have lower yields, are more susceptible to disease, and need a lot of areas to grow compared to hybrid seeds. Thus, the hybrid segment is estimated to grow because of the various benefits associated with hybrids.

Market Definition
- Commercial Seed - For the purpose of this study, only commercial seeds have been included as part of the scope. Farm-saved Seeds, which are not commercially labeled are excluded from scope, even though a minor percentage of farm-saved seeds are exchanged commercially among farmers. The scope also excludes vegetatively reproduced crops and plant parts, which may be commercially sold in the market.
- Crop Acreage - While calculating the acreage under different crops, the Gross Cropped Area has been considered. Also known as Area Harvested, according to the Food & Agricultural Organization (FAO), this includes the total area cultivated under a particular crop across seasons.
- Seed Replacement Rate - Seed Replacement Rate is the percentage of area sown out of the total area of crop planted in the season by using certified/quality seeds other than the farm-saved seed.
- Protected Cultivation - The report defines protected cultivation as the process of growing crops in a controlled environment. This includes greenhouses, glasshouses, hydroponics, aeroponics, or any other cultivation system that protects the crop against any abiotic stress. However, cultivation in an open field using plastic mulch is excluded from this definition and is included under open field.
