Smart Agriculture Market

Global Smart Agriculture Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The global smart agriculture market was valued at USD 16.6 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach USD 18.24 billion in 2024 from USD 38.82 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 9.9% from 2024 to 2032.

CURRENT SCENARIO OF THE GLOBAL SMART AGRICULTURE MARKET

Smart agriculture can be defined as the process of conducting agricultural activities using advanced technology.

It is an innovative way of doing agricultural activities by reducing human effort and making the most of available resources. Precision agriculture includes automation systems and detection devices. The application and feasibility of smart farming devices will depend on the economic conditions and scale of the farmland. The high-tech products used in smart agriculture have a wide range of applications including yield monitoring, field mapping, crop recognition, as well as milk collection, irrigation management, and more. Smart farming is the process of using advanced technology to carry out agricultural activities. It is an innovative way to carry out agricultural activities by reducing human effort and making the most of available resources. Smart farming includes agricultural activities that use the Internet of Things (IoT) and sensors to increase farm productivity.

MARKET DRIVERS

The introduction of IoT, GPS, and wireless connectivity is driving the global smart agriculture market.

The increasing pressure on the food supply system is driven by the rising use of modern technology, the rapid growth of agricultural product populations, and the growing interest of farmers in monitoring livestock and detecting diseases to facilitate the growth of smart irrigation systems. Smart farming targets large-scale conventional farming and other agricultural trends like family farming, organic farming, etc. In direct proportion to population growth, the demand for food is also supposed to increase exponentially during the conjecture period. Most livestock is susceptible to viral infections and attacks, which can increase livestock mortality. Various types of RFID tags, readers, and sensors are implemented to monitor livestock health and activity. In view of the growing demand for food, farmers must increase crop production by increasing the amount of agricultural land or adopting advanced agricultural methods such as precision farming. The key factors driving the market growth are the rising demand for food around the world, the growing need for control of livestock health and performance, and increased government support for the adoption of modern agricultural technologies. Market demand is increasing again as the use of smart technologies to monitor livestock, reduce labor costs, and increase yields increases. The market is growing rapidly due to favorable government support for adopting modern agricultural technologies to increase product production. The growing world population with a growing demand for agricultural yields to meet world demand is accelerating market growth. Governments around the world are partnering with a variety of food and beverage manufacturers, agricultural processing organizations, and financial institutions to develop sustainable agriculture initiatives. These initiatives aim to increase the efficiency and productivity of farmers and provide more food security.

Furthermore, public-private partnerships in developing countries such as India, China, and Brazil will create more income opportunities for farmers, promoting the growth of the smart agricultural market. Smart farming can ensure high returns for your agribusiness once you get used to its full potential. It collects geospatial data from livestock, soil, and plants, as well as other internal and inter-field information, which can help farmers combat the negative effects of nature on their crops. Precision agriculture also reduces agricultural costs by providing information on the required amount of liquid fertilizer, irrigation water, herbicides, nutrients, and pesticides, reducing wasted resources. Improving business efficiency by automating processes and improving production by reducing agricultural costs are two important factors driving the deployment of smart agricultural tools. With precision agricultural technology, your agricultural business will be more profitable than ever. Additionally, various agricultural industries are working with various European governments to implement advanced technologies such as IoT and machine learning to help farmers efficiently plan and execute a variety of agricultural tasks. Therefore, it provides a favorable opportunity for market growth. Smart farming also uses a variety of methods to deliver manual media and nutrient solutions to plant roots, which are more expensive than other farming methods.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Some of the factors limiting the growth of the global smart farming market size are the high cost of the devices used in smart farming and the lack of awareness of farmers. Compatible devices and better-quality network connections can disrupt the market in some developing countries, as well as in remote areas with network problems. The high costs incurred in manufacturing smart farming devices are likely to drive up the price of the final product, restricting market growth during the envisioned period. The main factor slowing the growth of the global smart agriculture market is the high demand for initial investment. Currently, smart farming tools are expensive, which is uneconomical for small farmers in developed regions and most farmers in emerging economies. Therefore, the latest technology is only accessible on large, industrialized farms due to the high technical cost.
