The soil moisture sensor market size is projected to reach US$ 831.47 million by 2031 from US$ 275.45 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 16.4 % in 2023—2031. The market for soil moisture sensors is heavily influenced by factors such as population growth, shortage of arable land, rising food prices, and advancements in agricultural technology.
Farmers understand the importance of managing resources sustainably. Both the environment and agriculture depend heavily on the quality of the soil. Determining the soil's moisture content in agriculture allows for the evaluation of crop production's feasibility and profitability. As a result, there is a growing need for soil moisture sensors throughout the world. Soil moisture sensors find widespread use in agricultural yield forecasts, bioremediation, landfill management, wastewater reclamation, irrigation control, and early drought warning systems.
The water content of the soil is measured using soil moisture sensors. Soil moisture content can be measured using a variety of laboratory and field techniques, including remote sensing, although using soil moisture sensor devices is the most efficient and quickest method. Water agencies have long faced challenges in achieving consistent and measurable water savings through the implementation of water use efficiency programs. Programs designed to save landscapes have traditionally concentrated on teaching about scheduling irrigation, maintaining irrigation systems, and choosing plants that are suitable for the local environment. Even though these initiatives have resulted in savings, there is still a lot of room for improvement in landscape irrigation efficiency.
One of the main problems that countries all over the world are currently facing is a lack of water. Approximately 60% of the freshwater reserves in the globe are thought to be consumed by agriculture, which is the primary user of water for agricultural irrigation. Therefore, a system is needed to effectively control the amount of water used in agriculture. Here, smart irrigation systems are essential because they apply more effective irrigation strategies that both lower water consumption and boost agricultural yield. Soil moisture sensors are useful for figuring out when, where, and how much water a crop needs at any given time. This information helps farmers produce more crops. Installing these sensors is simple, and.
Food security is important, particularly in developing nations where environmental deterioration is a severe danger—Agriculture primary one of the prime sources of income in developing economies like China, India, and Brazil. To converge the demand for food production with the rapidly expanding population, these countries must effectively use the available land. The requirement for soil moisture sensors is anticipated to increase in these developing countries because the soil moisture content is important in determining crop production.
