Global Connected Agriculture Market Size, Trends, and Growth Opportunity, By Component (Solution, Platforms, and Services), Application (Pre-Production Planning and Management, In-Production Planning and Management, and Post-Production Planning and Management) By Region and forecast till 2030.
Global Connected Agriculture Market
Global Connected Agriculture Market was valued at USD 3.63 billion in 2022 and is slated to reach USD 15.01 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 19.41% from 2023-2030.
Connected agriculture is a novel technological way to address several agricultural concerns. Sensors, satellite imaging, GPS, and big data analytics are all employed to do this. Farmers' productivity and output improve as a result of connected agriculture, and they contribute more to the agricultural business as a whole. Connected agriculture provides accurate and moral farming by only treating what is required and only when it is required. As a result, farmers may produce healthier food while preserving, if not enhancing, biodiversity and renewable energy. Using network management, agriculture asset management, supervisory control, and data collecting also improves farming processes.
Market Drivers
Farmers can enhance crop yield via linked agriculture while paying less money and putting less effort than they would use traditional agricultural approaches. Connected agriculture boosts output by enabling farmers to more precisely evaluate the appropriate sowing density, estimate fertilizers, and predict crop yields by skilfully combining time and resources. Farmers today rely on modern agricultural advancements, such as the usage of cell phones and other connected equipment. Modern linked technologies such as low power wide area (LPWA), WiFi, Zigbee, and new wireless sensor technologies enable farmers to plan and carry out a variety of agricultural operations such as obtaining supplies, keeping track of stocks, planting crops at the appropriate time, and so on. The increasing focus of market players on accelerating the implementation of modern and connected agricultural practices is boosting the market growth. In January 2023, Aston University formed a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with engineering firm Solargen Technologies (SGT) and the University of Nairobi to develop a smart irrigation system that uses solar and wind energy to provide year-round watering of land and improve crop production in Kenya. SGT is Kenya's largest supplier of irrigation, water, and energy solutions and services. They collaborated with non-governmental organizations, governments, and people to provide specific energy, water, and food security solutions to populations in rural and conflict-affected areas of Eastern Africa.
Market Restraints
The installation of connected farm technology is prohibitively expensive, and it is poorly understood. These are the technological constraints for the expected time range. The great majority of farmers are small-scale operators unable to purchase such costly machinery. This strategy is unappealing to farmers since it necessitates trained and knowledgeable farmers, considerable upfront investments, and efficient agricultural equipment. Due to the high expense, it is only suitable for large, industrialized farms.
Covid-19 Impact
The epidemic has also harmed the agricultural market. Many countries' lockdowns and travel restrictions have impacted the supply chains of connected agriculture solutions, causing delays in delivery and installation. Furthermore, the economic slowdown caused by the epidemic has resulted in budget cuts for many farmers and agribusinesses, slowing the adoption of linked agriculture technologies.
Increased demand for linked farm solutions is one of the positive effects of the pandemic on the connected agriculture sector. With the pandemic generating disruptions in global food supply chains and labor shortages, there has been increasing emphasis on the need for more efficient and robust agricultural systems. As a result, linked agriculture technologies such as precision farming, smart irrigation, and livestock monitoring systems have seen greater acceptance.
Recent Developments
Automat, a pioneering program to provide cutting-edge technology to Indian farmers, will showcase five new smart irrigation solutions for Rajasthan farmers at its UDGHOSH event in August 2022. Automat is a manufacturer of irrigation sprinklers, filtration equipment, and fertilization equipment based in India.
Through strategic cooperation with EZ-Drops, a manufacturer of cutting-edge agricultural equipment, AGCO Corporation will debut a new fertilizer supply system for its dealers in North America in 2021. AGCO's RoGator dealers provided customized nutrient application system installations. This technology helped farmers reduce excessive nitrogen spraying, which reduces farm profitability.
Market Segmentation
Global Connected Agriculture Market is segmented into By Components, Applications. By Components such as Solutions, Platforms, and Services. By Application such as Pre-Production Planning and Management, In-Production Planning and Management, and Post-Production Planning and Management.
Regional Analysis
Global Connected Agriculture Market is divided into Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America will continue to have the largest market share during the projection period due to the region's extensive farming activities and farmers' rapid adoption of technology. Smart water management systems and remote monitoring are two growing trends in North America for efficiently using water and properly tracking crop health. Due to the region's countries' significant emphasis on the adoption and implementation of linked agriculture practices, Asia-Pacific is expected to have the greatest CAGR throughout the projected period. The rising adoption of cloud-based agriculture technologies in developing economies would boost the region's economy even further.
