precision farming Market

The precision farming market was valued at US$ 9.87 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 26.44 billion by 2031; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 13.1% from 2023 to 2031.

Precision farming provides better sustainability and less environmental impact, which is one of the major factors boosting the market growth. Farmers can more carefully regulate their inputs and nutrients with precision farming by making more accurate selections. As a result, there is less nutrient runoff and fertilizer waste. Farmers can apply chemicals only where necessary rather than throughout the entire field by employing remote sensing to pinpoint the precise areas of high disease and pest pressure. This allows them to use less herbicides and fungicides. Also, farm managers may pinpoint and minimize fuel consumption by keeping an eye on drivers and equipment, leading to lower emissions. Moreover, by improving crop quality, precision agriculture technologies such as AI and machine learning can help decrease on-farm field waste, thus providing a sustainable food supply. In addition, agribusinesses can establish traceability and accountability by gathering and linking data to crop production, beginning at the seed production stage and continuing the crop until it reaches a consumer's table. This will provide additional insights that can be managed for even more efficient production, thus fueling the market growth during the forecast period.

Furthermore, the increasing investment in technologies such as guidance systems, driverless tractors, and GPS sensing systems is anticipated to contribute to the precision farming market growth during the study period. For instance, in April 2022, Agtech company EarthScout announced an exclusive addition to its scalable line of advanced agriculture products that assist farmers during a drought in saving water and lessening irrigation and inputs by providing real-time information about soil moisture. The innovative EarthScout Soil Cub is a miniature 4.5"x3"x2" commercial-grade sensor mounted in the field to monitor soil temperature and humidity.

The market in Asia Pacific is predicted to observe substantial growth over the forecast period, mainly owing to government initiatives in emerging countries to encourage the application of advanced precision farming technologies, thereby increasing productivity. For instance, in 2022, the Government of India announced the launch of Kisan Drones to digitize land records, crop assessment, and spray nutrients and insecticides in December 2022. IG International, an India-based fresh produce company, partnered with an AI, IoT-driven, SaaS-based precision agriculture solution provider called Fyllo to help companies use advanced technologies to produce high-quality fruits. Such initiatives are expected to boost the market growth in Asia Pacific during the forecast period.
