Agriculture | 11 November 2022 | Report ID: EMR004 | Pages: 187

The size of the global smart agriculture market, estimated at USD 15.34 billion in 2022, is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 12.6% from 2023 to 2031. The farming practice is known as "smart agriculture" makes use of information technology to monitor, analyze, and identify variability on a farm in order to boost crop yield while requiring less labor from farmers. By using real-time information about the weather, yields, and soil quality, smart agriculture enables farmers to pinpoint the precise amount of nutrition crops need to increase production. Farmers can use cutting-edge automation methods to reduce the cost of labor and materials by utilizing smart agriculture systems. Utilizing sensors and monitoring tools, smart farming techniques assist farmers in making better choices regarding water and soil management, inventory control, and harvesting schedules. Applications for smart agriculture include managing irrigation systems, water resources, growing crops, and monitoring production. Users will be able to map and record agricultural production and humidity information in real-time with the use of smart agriculture, which will enable them to swiftly judge how often the crop fared.

Market Growth

The method of carrying out agricultural tasks using cutting-edge technologies is referred to as smart agriculture. On the basis of kind, software, service, solution, and application, advanced technologies employed in agriculture are divided into subgroups. Smart agriculture is a cutting-edge method of conducting farming operations that minimizes human labor while maximizing the use of available resources. Systems for automation and sensors are used in precision farming. These are utilized for managing and monitoring the development of agricultural activities. The viability of smart agricultural devices depends on the state of the economy and the size of the agricultural area. Additionally, the growing use of light-emitting diode (LED) grow lights in the controlled environment agriculture (CEA) setup in greenhouses and the broad adoption of the CEA concept are driving market expansion. The market is expected to grow thanks to a number of other factors, such as the rising need for livestock technology for early disease detection and the significant investments being made in research and development (R&D) operations for introducing cutting-edge agricultural approaches.

Market Dynamics

Market Drivers: IoT adoption in agriculture is rapidly increasing

By providing real-time assistance through IoT apps, the expanding usage of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in agriculture helps farmers track the development of their products. IoT applications in conventional farming operations decrease the time and money spent on resources for farming, such as land, electricity, and water, allowing farmers to concentrate on providing their consumers with high-quality food.

By implementing precision farming practices, IoT-based agricultural equipment reduces the use of pesticides and fertilizers, improves the health of the soil and crops, and enables the delivery of organic food to a variety of end users. The adoption of automated commercial greenhouses and the expanding use of the Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) concept in greenhouses to increase yields and maintain ideal growing conditions are the key factors influencing the demand for smart equipment.

Market Restraints

There are numerous small players distributed throughout the agriculture industry. It is not dominated by one or a small number of powerful players. It is difficult to deploy a consistent machine-to-machine (M2M) solution because of the industry's fragmentation. Inefficient input and resource distribution brought on by land fragmentation results in high costs. Deploying smart farming techniques across dispersed lands requires time, money, and resources because it is difficult to manage, monitor, and collect data from dispersed farms.

Market Opportunities

According to signs coming from corporate leaders and legislators, agriculture 4.0 appears to be gaining steam. In order to propel a "technology revolution" in agricultural output and position the UK at the "forefront" of creative sustainable farming, the UK Secretary of State for Business has announced an investment of Euro 90 million. Greece has declared that cloud computing and the internet of things would be used to digitize agriculture. Agri-tech innovations have been predicted over the world, particularly in Australia, Japan, and other Asian nations.

Regional Analysis

North America is predicted to be the largest smart agriculture industry, with a market size of USD 15.846 million and a CAGR of 1025 percent by 2031. Regional demand in North America will be fueled by escalating government initiatives and laws to advance the region's agriculture industry during the projection period. Agrarian organizations have founded the North America Climate Smart Agriculture Alliance (NACSAA), which serves as a platform for educating and supplying farmers with the tools they need to produce food sustainably. In response to the growing awareness of water conservation, North American governments are aggressively providing incentives to encourage the use of smart irrigation. For instance, the state of California has offered reimbursement for smart controllers.

Report Segmentation

By Agriculture Type

The market is divided into segments based on the kind of agriculture, including smart greenhouses, precision farming, livestock monitoring, precision aquaculture, and precision forestry. During the projection period, the precision farming segment is anticipated to hold the biggest market share. This significant percentage can be attributed to the increasing focus on agricultural performance and profitability. Precision farming tools have the potential to improve the agriculture sector by improving the efficiency and dependability of traditional farming practices.

By Offering 

Hardware, software, and services make up the three segments of the market. During the projected period, the software sector is anticipated to hold the biggest market share. The use of modern software technology in agricultural products, such as GPS, output mapping software, navigation apps, and data analysis software, helps farmers forecast bad weather and enables them to make better and more educated crop decisions. Software for managing farms includes websites, mobile apps, and programs created expressly for the farming industry. It helps farmers with their daily activities, makes managing staff much simpler, improves record-keeping for agriculture, and helps with regulatory compliance.

By Application

The market is divided into irrigation management, yield monitoring, crop scouting, field mapping, weather tracking, and forecasting, inventory management, and farm labor management based on the applications used. The market segment expected to register the biggest share over the forecast period is weather monitoring and forecasting. This is a result of the growing demand for monitoring agricultural growth stages as well as for monitoring and evaluating mineral and water waste output.
