The global smart agriculture market is projected to grow from USD 13.1 billion in 2021 to USD 20.6 billion by 2026 at a CAGR value of 9.7%. Agricultural industry is witnessing a technological revolution, which is being backed by policymakers and launch of latest technologies all across the globe.
The smart agriculture market is expected to be driven by rising demand for sustainable farming techniques and innovations that are useful to minimize the use of non-renewable energy resources and embrace sustainable agronomic practices. Also, crops developed employing cutting-edge and environmentally responsible farming practices such as Ultra-High-Density Plantation (UHDP), optimal pesticide and fertiliser use, are also of high quality. This approach shields customers from exposure to toxins and other harmful contaminants, providing numerous health benefits which will also boost the market growth.
The other factors supporting the growth of the market are rising advancement and implementation of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) in agricultural industry and rising pressure on food supply system, owing to rapidly growing population.
Precision farming and contract agriculture are models of sustainable and ethical farming approaches that assist farmers improve their economic and social status while minimising their need on subsidies and concessions to live a good life. Furthermore, rising adoption of technologies such as crop rotation, crop diversification, and the use of renewable resources all assist to the transition to sustainable farming and are prime factors driving the markets growth throughout the forecast period.
Modern agricultural tools such as mapping software, variable rate technology (VRT), yield mapping software, GIS, GPS, and data management software help to improve land fertility and profitability, facilitate sustainable agriculture, increase production, and lower farming costs. Two significant aspects that promote the introduction of smart agricultural instruments are increased business efficiency through process automation and greater production with lower farming costs.
The principal elements driving the demand for smart tools are the rising adoption of automated commercial greenhouses and the growing use of the Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) concept in greenhouses in order to produce higher yields and maintain optimal growth conditions.
Agriculture 4.0 appears to be gaining traction, based on signals from policymakers and the corporate sector. The UK Secretary of State for Business has announced a Euro 90 million worth to spur a "technological revolution" in agricultural production, putting the UK in the "forefront" of innovative sustainable farming. Greece has announced that agriculture will be digitised, with cloud computing and the internet of things at the forefront. Agri-tech breakthroughs have been anticipated all across the world, including in Japan, other Asian countries, and Australia.
The COVID-19 epidemic had caused considerable disruption in the global supply system, which resulted in food shortages and variation in prices. Measures were taken to enhance the food supply chain and increase the fold of food production volume using advanced low cost smart tools. Moreover, the current pandemic has highlighted the need of being able to conduct agricultural activities remotely. Hence, the market growth is likely to be driven by increasing need to adopt smart agricultural practises to assist farmers in order to recuperate losses during the forecast period.
Based on the agriculture type, the market is segmented into precision farming, livestock monitoring, precision aquaculture, precision forestry, smart greenhouse, and others. The precision farming segment is expected to have the largest share in the market during the forecast period. The growing emphasis on agricultural performance and profitability can be ascribed to this substantial share. Precision farming equipment have the power to transform the agricultural industry for the better, rendering conventional farming activities more effective and reliable.
Based on offering, the market is divided into hardware, software, services. The software segment is anticipated to have the largest share in the market during the forecast period. The use of current software technologies in farm commodities, such as navigation apps, output mapping software, GPS, and data analysis software, aids farmers in warning poor weather conditions and allows them to make better & informed decisions about their crops. Farm management software includes websites, mobile applications, and software programs designed specifically for the farming sector. It assists farmers in their day-to-day tasks, makes it so much easier to supervise personnel, enhances agricultural record-keeping, and assists with compliance with regulations.
Based on application, the market is segmented into irrigation management, yield monitoring, crop scouting, field mapping, weather tracking and forecasting, inventory management, and farm labor management. The weather monitoring and forecasting segment is anticipated to witness the largest share in the market during the forecast period. This is due to the rising demand for monitoring the phases of crop growth and monitoring and analyzing waste production of water and minerals.
Based on region, the market can be broken into various regions such as North America, Europe, Central, and South America, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific.
The North American region is expected to have a lions share in the market during the forecast period. The rising number of government activities and norms to improve the regions agricultural business are predicted to stimulate North American market growth. Governments in North America are actively giving subsidies to expand the applications of smart irrigation in response to the growing concern about water conservation. The state of California, for example, has offered a discount for smart controllers.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period. With extensive government assistance and rising awareness & knowledge about smart tools within small and mid-level farmers are helping the APAC market to propel.
AGCO Corporation, Ag Leader Technology, AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc., AgJunction, Inc., BouMatic Robotic B.V., Argus Control Systems Ltd, Deere & Company, Crop Metrics, Drone Deploy, Farmers Edge Inc., among others, are the key players in the smart agriculture market.
