Peas are the major vegetable crop cultivated in the region due to their high demand from food processing industries and daily consumption
- The area under cultivation for vegetables in North America was low compared to row crops, accounting for 2.6% of the total area cultivated in 2022. In the region, the area under vegetable cultivation showed a decline of 9.8% in 2022 compared to 2016 due to a shift towards other crops, including soybean and cotton, adverse weather conditions, and pest pressure. Vegetables are more vulnerable to adverse weather, leading to a higher risk of failure. Also, there is a decrease in the overall arable land and an increase in soil erosion and salinity in the soil, making it unsuitable for vegetable crops.
- The unclassified vegetable segment had the largest share of the area used for the cultivation of vegetables. The segment had a share of 55% in 2022, as the region is one of the major producers of peas. The largest crop in the region concerning the area occupied was peas, which accounted for 43.0% of the total area under vegetables in the region in 2022. This dominance was due to the significant usage of the crop in daily diets and food processing industries.
- In 2022, the United States was the largest country in the region in terms of the area under vegetable production, which held 27.2% of the vegetable production area in North America. The area under the cultivation of vegetables was decreasing in the country due to growing urbanization in the rural areas and deteriorating farmlands due to the extensive use of chemicals. Mexico is the second-largest country in the region with respect to the area under vegetables, accounting for `an 8.7% share in 2022. Vegetables are important crops in the country due to increased demand from domestic and neighboring countries such as the United States.

North America Vegetable Seed Industry Segmentation
Hybrids, Open Pollinated Varieties & Hybrid Derivatives are covered as segments by Breeding Technology. Open Field, Protected Cultivation are covered as segments by Cultivation Mechanism. Brassicas, Cucurbits, Roots & Bulbs, Solanaceae, Unclassified Vegetables are covered as segments by Crop Family. Canada, Mexico, United States are covered as segments by Country.
- Hybrids were the fastest-growing segment in the North American vegetable seed market. They accounted for 92.8% of overall vegetables cultivated in the region in 2022. The usage of hybrids increased due to growing consumer preference for quality produce and changing dietary habits, which led to increasing demand for higher-quality crops, driving the adoption of hybrid seeds.
- Cucumber and gherkin held the major share in the hybrid vegetable seed market, followed by cauliflower, broccoli, tomato, and pumpkin & squash. Hybrids are preferred more for these crops because of the improving characteristics of the resulting plants, such as better yield, greater uniformity, improved color, and disease resistance.
- The United States held a large market in hybrid vegetables in North America, with a 70.7% share in 2022. This is because the country has a robust agricultural research and development infrastructure, enabling the creation of innovative hybrid seed varieties with improved traits and higher yields. The major states with increased usage of hybrids in the country are California, North Dakota, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Washington, and Wisconsin.
- The open-pollinated varieties and hybrid derivatives market in North America was valued at USD 124.8 million in 2022. Solanaceae held the largest share, 34.1%, in the open-pollinated varieties seed market value in 2022. This is because Solanaceae often exhibit natural variability in traits, making open-pollinated varieties suitable for maintaining a range of genetic traits.
- The growing consumer preference for quality produce, advancements in breeding technologies, and growing demand for naturally variable traits are estimated to drive the overall seed market in the region.

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.
