Cucumbers are considered a healthy vegetable type, as they are very low in calorie content, however, they are very rich in nutrients including important vitamins and minerals. Moreover, cucumbers are also potential source of antioxidants, which are required to be consumed for healthy life. Therefore, rising awareness of health benefits of cucumber among the populace is expected to propel demand for cucumbers globally and thereby fuel growth of global cucumber seeds market over the forecast period. Cucumbers are offered as hybrid seeds or as open pollinated or heirloom seeds type in the market.
Market Dynamics
Cucumber seeds are used to cultivate cucumbers in farmland, in greenhouse or other farming types such as aquaponics or hydroponics. Farmland is a traditional low cost faming type used for cultivating cucumbers and therefore it is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period.
However, new and advanced greenhouse farming method is expected to gain traction over the forecast period, owing to benefits it offers such as better yield over farmland. For instance, according to a study, ‘Greenhouse grown Cucumber as an Alternative to Field Production and its Economic Feasibility in Aswan Governorate, Egypt’ published by Assiut Journal of Agricultural Sciences in 2016, a greenhouse experiment was carried out in 2014-2015 in the Research Station at Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Aswan University, Egypt. Result of the study showed that yield of cucumber grown under greenhouse in Egypt was 5 times more than that of yield obtained in open-field/farmland. Moreover, the water used for irrigation was 70% less in case of greenhouse than in open-field.
Moreover, Asia Pacific held a significant market share in global cucumber seeds market in 2018, owing to presence of top cucumber producing countries in the region. For instance according to data released by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in January 2019, China and Japan are listed amongst top 10 countries in the world for production of cucumbers and gherkins in 2017. According to the same source, China was the highest cucumber producing country in 2017.
