The precision farming market size is projected to reach US$ 26.44 billion by 2031 from US$ 9.87 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 13.1% during 2023–2031. Advanced precision farming techniques are likely to remain key trends in the market.
Precision farming is a method where inputs are applied in precise amounts to grow increased yields compared to traditional cultivation procedures. Hence, it is an all-inclusive system designed to improve production efficiency, enhance product quality, expand the efficiency of crop chemical usage, protect the environment, and conserve energy by utilizing critical elements of technology, information, and management. Thus, precision farming is an attractive concept, and its ideologies support that agricultural inputs can be used more efficiently, with improved profits and ecologically less burdensome production.
Precision farming is an information and technology-based farm management system used to analyze, identify, and manage temporal and spatial variability within fields for optimal profitability and productivity, sustainability, and protection of land resources by minimalizing production costs. The growth of the precision farming market is attributed to the rising penetration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and increased usage of progressive analytics by farmers. Advanced analytics is a section of data science that utilizes numerous methods and tools to forecast data and confirm that the soil and crop receive sufficient nurturing. This helps farmers plan their actions accordingly. Thus, technological advancements in the precision farming market are expected to boost its growth during the forecast period.
Farmers depend on broadband and wireless networks to obtain information about specific industry-directed knowledge-sharing initiatives, including farming-related progressive solutions. Agriculture mobile apps can be used for collecting data, recording crop scouting activities, tracking machine performance, and controlling drones. As a result, there is an increasing reliance on smartphones to access agriculture mobile apps, such as Digi-Star’s Grain Tracker, My New Holland app, Just In Time Plant Nutrient Calculator, AgDNA, and Cropalyser. These apps are widely used in precision farming.
An agricultural robot is a robotic device that can advance agricultural processes by taking over farmer’s labor-intensive duties. Agriculture robots make many applications faster, simpler, more precise, and effective. Driverless tractors, drones for data collection and crop monitoring, automated irrigation and harvesting, and autonomous precision seedings are a few of the frequently used agricultural robots for crop farming, soil management, and livestock production. Furthermore, various companies offer agricultural robots for farming, harvesting, picking, and weeding purposes.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the precision farming market analysis are offering and application.
The geographic scope of the precision farming market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America.
North America held the largest share of the precision farming market in 2023. Factors such as rising labor expenses; a shortage of skilled workers; high demand for agricultural products; and the integration of advanced technologies such as VRT, remote sensing, GPS, GIS, and guidance systems are contributing to the expansion of the precision farming market in North America. Furthermore, the escalating utilization of cloud-based technology, the increasing uptake of contemporary farming methods, and government programs aimed at promoting the use of modern agricultural technologies are driving the market. Moreover, many companies are collaborating to develop innovative products in the market. For instance, in December 2023, Deep Sand Technology (DST), a company specializing in autosteering and precision agriculture, joined forces with the GEODNET Foundation to launch real-time kinematic (RTK) services for precision agriculture in rural North America.
The Europe precision farming market exhibits significant partnerships, with major industry participants such as Deere & Company, Bayer Crop Science, Trimble Inc., Agco Corporation, and Granular Inc. actively engaged in research and development, product introductions, advancements, and collaborative ventures. Notably, Agco Corporation introduced the WR Series Windrower in February 2022, delivering a 10% enhancement in overall efficiency compared to prior models, thereby optimizing hay production and quality. Precision farming methodologies, encompassing digital agriculture, are recognized as pivotal in advancing the EU's strategic objectives of sustainability, intelligence, and safety. With the integration of precision farming into the National Recovery and Resilience Plans of all member states, the EU's sustainability targets will be achieved in the near future.
