The global flower seeds market was valued at USD 2.58 billion in 2024 and is projected to rise from USD 2.71 billion in 2025 to USD 3.96 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 5.56% during the forecast period. In 2024, Europe led the market with a 57.75% share.
In the United States, the flower seeds market is anticipated to reach USD 456.50 million by 2032, supported by the increasing popularity of home gardening and landscaping activities.
Flower seeds are small, dry structures produced by flowering plants that contain an embryo and a nutrient reserve. Market growth is being driven by factors such as rising disposable income, the adoption of sustainable and organic practices, growing demand for floriculture products, and advancements in seed technology. Leading companies are continually developing innovative seed varieties and home gardening product lines to meet changing consumer preferences and market trends.
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted market growth as nearly half of global florists temporarily closed, reducing demand for flowers. This decline prompted many farmers to shift from flower cultivation to alternative crops to maintain sustainability, which significantly reduced seed sales for a period of 30 to 60 days. However, the surge in home gardening helped offset some of the losses during this period.

By Application, protected cultivation is projected to lead the market as it shields crops from extreme weather conditions, pests, and diseases, thereby enhancing reliability and profitability. By Flower Type, annual flowers are expected to secure a substantial share due to their ease of cultivation and adaptability, offering commercial producers quick and flexible production cycles.

Europe held the top position in 2023 with a value of USD 1.43 billion, driven by the adoption of advanced technologies and strategic regional initiatives. For instance, EconSeeds B.V. expanded its operations in July 2021 to strengthen the region’s market presence.

A notable example is Saudi Arabia’s jasmine cultivation project announced in July 2023, aimed at diversifying floral production and tapping into niche markets.
Market Drivers and Challenges
Innovation Drives Growth
The market is benefiting from the launch of visually appealing and eco-friendly flower varieties. Collaborative projects—such as the July 2023 partnership in Bali that resulted in the creation of the Marigold Bali Sudamala—demonstrate a push toward local production and self-reliance.
However, the high production cost of hybrid seeds, due to complex breeding techniques and specialized cultivation needs, may limit their adoption among cost-sensitive buyers.
