Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture Market

Global Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture Market Size and Growth Rate (2024 to 2029):

The Global Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture Market was worth US$ 1.92 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach a valuation of US$ 7.81 billion by 2029 from US$ 2.43 billion in 2024, and it is predicted to register a CAGR of 26.35% during the forecast period 2024-2029.

MARKET SCENARIO

Farming approaches that use artificial intelligence can assist enhance production and yield. In the entire food supply chain, AI-based apps and approaches help control pests, yield healthier crops, monitor the soil, and optimise agriculture-related jobs. Because AI aids in the analysis of agricultural data, artificial intelligence is rapidly being used in the agriculture business to increase harvest quality and accuracy. The expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) in agriculture is attributed to a growing focus on technological advancements by major companies, rising upgradation of current infrastructure with advanced technologies, and rising use of artificial intelligence, particularly in developing nations.

The market is being driven by the desire to maximise crop productivity utilising machine learning techniques. Species selection is a time-consuming process of looking for specific genes that determine the efficiency of water and nutrient consumption, climate change adaptation, disease resistance, nutrient content, and taste. Machine learning algorithms, specifically deep learning algorithms, examine decades of field data to analyse crop performance in various climates and develop a probability model based on this data to forecast which genes will most likely contribute a favourable characteristic to a plant.

MARKET DRIVERS

Rising globalization and the agricultural industry's adoption of new advanced technologies will emerge as the primary market growth drivers.

The market value will be further aggravated by rising demand for high-quality agricultural products, supportive government policies and measures to encourage advanced agricultural tools and practises, and growing industrialisation. Increased spending on research and development, as well as an increase in the use of drones in agricultural farms, will help to propel the market forward.

The market is being driven by an increase in the deployment of cattle facial recognition technology. Dairy farms can now individually monitor all behavioural features in a group of cattle using advanced metrics such as bovine facial recognition systems and image classification coupled with body condition score and feeding habits. The use of drones in agriculture can be used in crop field scanning with small multispectral imaging sensors, GPS map production with onboard cameras, heavy payload delivery, and livestock monitoring with thermal-imaging camera-equipped drones, which is boosting the market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

However, market growth is being stifled by a lack of standardisation in data collection and data sharing.

Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and advanced algorithm design have grown at breakneck speed, but the collection of well-tagged, valuable agricultural data has lagged far behind. However, the market's expansion will be limited by a lack of knowledge and technological expertise. The market's growth pace will be slowed further by technological obstacles, interoperability issues, and a lack of standardisation. The market growth rate would be further hampered by large-scale technological restrictions in developing economies and high expenses associated with precision field data collection.

Global Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture Market Analysis By Application

Precision Farming is expected to have the dominant share in the Global Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture Market During the Forecast Period. Precision farming is one of the most rapidly increasing AI-enabled agricultural applications. It aids farmers in reducing expenses and properly utilising resources. AI is used in precision farming to gather, interpret, and analyse digital data. For example, GPS-enabled combine harvesters use artificial intelligence to track harvest yields in order to analyse field variability, such as variances in water, soil makeup, or fungus, and create georeferenced data. Farmers can tailor fertilisers or insecticides based on the results of the analysis and projections. Agriculture robots operated by artificial intelligence integrate artificial intelligence, field sensors, and data analytics, and can be utilised for a wide range of tasks. Because they can weed and hoe, these robots are efficient harvesting devices. The agriculture robots’ market is driven by increasing adoption of artificial intelligence in agriculture and new robotics advances.
