Market Restraints

High cost of tomato seeds is expected to hamper the market growth of tomato seeds over the forecast period. In order to reduce impact of weather on cultivation of tomatoes and increasing per acre yield of tomatoes, the region utilizes maximum number of greenhouse facilities to grow tomatoes. Seeds used for growing tomatoes in greenhouses differ from the seeds used to grow them under natural conditions. Thus, the price of seeds used for greenhouse-produced tomatoes is comparatively higher than the cost of seeds used in natural environment.

Market Trends

Increasing production of tomato seeds in Europe is one of the growing trends in the region. For instance, according to data published by European Commission in August 2021, the harvested production of tomatoes in European Union (EU) was 16,575 ‘000 tons in 2019. Amongst all European nations, Italy’s tomato production is highest and accounted for 5,252.7 ‘000 tons in 2019, followed by Spain at 5,000.6 ‘000 tons in 2019. Thus, increasing tomato production is boosting growth of the tomato seeds market in the Europe region.

Europe Tomato Seeds Market - Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic is expected to have little impact on the Europe tomato seeds market in 2021. Countries in Europe have classified the food and agriculture sector as essential to allow continued movement of goods, and to allow the employees to continue their work. However, low transportation capacities and as well as the multitude of different and uncoordinated rules at borders were preventing or hindering the circulation of seeds within the EU. For instance, on March 23, 2020, the EU Commission published border management guidelines specifying that 'green lanes' should be created to safeguard the supply of commodities and life-critical services.
