Plant phenotyping is the measurement of a plant's phenotypes, such as its height, colour, and other characteristics. Phenotypes are influenced by environmental factors and gene interactions. Understanding a plant's phenotypic characteristics contributes to higher agricultural yields and higher crop quality. Traditionally, plant phenotyping was carried out by hand, but modern plant phenotyping is carried out using automated platform systems and cutting-edge technologies. Modern sensor technologies are used in plant phenotyping to monitor how the environment affects plants as well as how the plant responds to external influences. Thanks to tools like image analysis systems, canopy analysis systems, and fluorometers, plant phenotyping is a dependable, non-invasive, and high throughput screening method. The demand for contemporary agricultural methods, such as plant phenotyping, to produce crops with high yields and improved quality will also rise as a result of a growth in global population. It is predicted that this would increase the need for plant phenotyping. A rise in diseases transmitted through seeds is causing food loss, thus techniques like plant phenotyping are required to detect diseases early and assist in the selection of plant breeds that are disease-free.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the whole Agri-biotechnology industry's production, marketing, and supply chain, mostly due to restrictions on mobility during the state-wide lockdown. A shortage of workers brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak constrained agricultural productivity. The supply and logistics of agricultural goods were considerably disrupted as a result of limitations on cross-regional travel. Due to problematic supply methods, many perishable and semi-perishable food products were discarded. Additionally, there was a workforce shortage as migrant workers went back to their hometowns, which interfered with India's agricultural and harvesting activities. The impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is expected to limit the growth of the global plant phenotyping market during the projected period as a consequence of the compromised supply. When the conditions are appropriate, disease-causing pathogens can infect growing seedlings after spreading through seed dispersal. A rise in R&D efforts is likely to assist market expansion throughout the course of the forecast period.
