Augmented Reality in Agriculture - Thematic Research

Augmented Reality in Agriculture - Thematic Research


Summary

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that allows the user to see the real world overlaid with digital data. According to GlobalData forecasts, the AR market will be worth $100 billion by 2030, up from $22 billion in 2022. AR is improving productivity and efficiency in agriculture, but its adoption remains limited. AR can be used to streamline training on farms, to help technicians repair agricultural equipment more quickly, and to support precision agriculture. The crux of AR's farming applications is its capacity for hands-free data visualization, allowing farmers to harness new knowledge, skills, and insights without pausing other tasks. This has the potential to both improve the productivity of all agricultural workers and to help farmers increase the productivity of their resources.

This report provides an in-depth look in the augmented reality theme in agriculture sector, covering industry challenges, how AR helps tackles the challenges, AR investment matrix, case studies, value chain, market forecast, industry signals and more.

Key Highlights

The hands-free data visualization provided by augmented reality is improving productivity throughout the agribusiness value chain. AR is increasing the efficiency and efficacy of training in agriculture, using simulations or real-time direction. AR is also reducing the downtime of agricultural machinery by assisting technicians with maintenance.

When combined with other emerging technologies like AI and IoT, AR data visualization will support precision agriculture. This prescriptive use of agricultural resources will be key to meeting the growing demand for food while minimizing environmental and climate degradation.
