Drivers and Restraints:

Rising Milk Production Drives Market Growth

Increasing milk production in Europe and North America is boosting demand for pasture seeds, which are essential for maintaining grazing pastures that provide nutritious diets for cattle. Grazing pastures not only reduce dairy feed costs but also enhance sustainability by offering a natural and balanced diet, supporting efficient milk production.

Climate Change Poses Challenges

However, rising temperatures and water scarcity due to climate change can negatively impact the yield and quality of pasture crops such as alfalfa and ryegrass, potentially hindering the growth of the pasture seeds market.

Regional Insights:

North America Leads with Government Support

North America holds the largest share of the pasture seeds market. Government initiatives, such as the USD 3.7 million investment by NIFA in alfalfa seed and storage systems under the ASAFS program in September 2023, are enhancing seed development and storage capabilities, driving market growth.

Asia Pacific Shows Rapid Growth

In Asia Pacific, active government investments in feed production, pasture and fodder development, and animal health are strengthening the industry's infrastructure, contributing to the rapid expansion of the pasture seeds market.

Competitive Landscape:

Collaborations Strengthen Market Presence

The global pasture seeds market is moderately fragmented, with numerous medium and large-scale players, including regional contributors. Intense competition has led international players to adopt strategies such as joint ventures, partnerships, and mergers. For example, in March 2023, the Netherlands-based Royal Barenbrug Group acquired the U.K.-based Watson Group, expanding its retail presence in the U.K. market.

Key Industry Development:

In September 2023, DLF S/A acquired the Corteva Agriscience alfalfa breeding program from Corteva, Inc., a global leader in crop seeds and chemicals.
