Crop Sprayers Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Power Source (Fuel Based, Electric and Battery-driven, Manual Handling, Solar), Capacity, Type, Application, End User (Agriculture, Other End Users), and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Crop Sprayers Market is accounted for $4017.52 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $5844.20 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. Sprayers are gadgets that are utilized in the agribusiness area for splashing insect sprays and pesticides on harvests and plants to control infections and vermin. They are likewise used to splash herbicides to control micronutrients and weeds for the legitimate development of harvest plants. The sprayers break the chemical solution into fine droplets and distribute the insecticides uniformly over the plant. A good sprayer should produce steady stream of liquid in desired droplet size so that plants to be treat get covered uniformly. The sprayer should convey adequate pressure so that sprayer should reach all foliage over the plant.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Rise in focus on farm efficiency and productivity
Agricultural sprayer manufacturers are increasingly inclined to focus on enhancing farmers' capabilities and knowledge to make them more productive and help them compete in the market. Agriculture has traditionally been a risky economic activity, and farmers worldwide have been impacted by economic downturns and environmental shifts. The newer technology versions of agricultural sprayers have provided various benefits to the farmers, such as low cost, increased spray efficiency, safety, and less damage to the crops and environment. This is subsequently growing the demand for sprayers in the global market. Also, the increasing implementation of precision farming techniques has improved the potential of manufacturers of sprayers to make the agricultural steps more efficient and predictable.
Restraint:
High capital investment
One of the major restraining factor for the crop sprayers market is the high initial investment. Self-propelled and aerial sprayers need high initial investments, efficient farming tools, and skilled & knowledgeable farmers or growers; this makes the farmers apprehensive about using this technology. Moreover, the majority of the farmers are marginal farmers or small landholding farmers who find it difficult to invest in expensive equipment. This restraint is particularly high in developing countries such as India, China, and Brazil. Currently, most developing countries are importing farming equipment from other countries, which increases the product cost. Recently, these countries have started investing in the research & development (R&D) of smart farming equipment, owing to the increasing demand for farm management solutions. This demand would help in the reduction of hardware equipment and device prices. Moreover, many software designers are developing user-friendly solutions to save the consultation cost of farmers.
Opportunity:
Rise in the trend of precision and modern farming practices
The cultivating business is encountering different mechanical progressions. Expanding interest for cutting edge innovative arrangements, current innovation, and horticulture has empowered ranchers to take part in powerful weed administration rehearses. Expanding mindfulness about equipment, for example, sprayers among ranchers is energizing the development of the sprayers market universally. Likewise, current horticultural strategies, for example, accuracy cultivating assist cultivators with making additional income from agribusinesses. Modern cultivating acquires precise data in regards to the utilization of water system water, fluid manures, supplements, herbicides, and pesticides on the field, in this manner lessening the wastage of assets. Planning programming, variable rate technology (VRT), yield planning, and other present day cultivating procedures assist ranchers with expanding the ripeness, usefulness, benefit, and maintainability of harvests. Assuming there is a lack of composts, their unseemly and inappropriate use will prompt underproduction and wastage.
Threat:
Rise in risk of spray drift
With the utilization of the inventive and actually progressed quicker sprayers with higher application limit, the pace of use of synthetic compounds/pesticides is likewise expanded. Thus, the substance delivered each hour is similarly higher in present day sprayers. There is expanding pattern of showering during evening time and the higher use of pesticides in the fields lead to the danger of splash float because of surface temperature reversals around evening time. Because of this, unpredictable fumes can travel a few kilometers, and it is difficult to anticipate their degree and harm. Drift pesticides are treacherous dangers to human wellbeing just as untamed life and environments in and around farming and surprisingly local locations where unforgiving synthetic substances are utilized to avert bothers. The greatest danger from pesticide float is to the human existence settled close to bigger homesteads, which utilize raised showering hardware for the utilization of synthetic substances.
The tractor-mounted segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The tractor-mounted segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Tractor-mounted sprayers are becoming a popular choice, not only among small-scale farmers but also among large-scale end users. In fact, large operators who previously opted for self-propelled sprayers are making a move towards the tractor-mounted variants, as the latter facilitates large-scale farming operations. Operational flexibility of tractor-mounted agricultural sprayers enables end-users to carry out both pest control processes and fertilization processes using a single equipment. Preference for tractor-mounted agricultural sprayers over self-propelled agricultural sprayers can also be backed by high operational and maintenance costs, limited application scope, and higher fuel consumption linked with the latter.
The high volume (>400 liters/hectare) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The high volume (>400 liters/hectare) segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period due to the growing demand for high volume sprayers in the agriculture sector. High volume sprayers usually spray solutions, prepared by mixing water with appropriate quantities of pesticides. This diluted mixture is sprayed by using hydraulic nozzles. The volume of liquid handled by high volume sprayers is more than 400 liters per hectare.
Region with highest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to the rapid increase in interest among customers for increasing the productivity of their farms. Countries such as India, China, and Indonesia mainly promote agricultural production in the Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, the demand for low volume sprayers is more for farming in small plots. In addition, China is continually upgrading and modernizing their farming processes to increase their agricultural income, boosting economic growth, and meeting the ever-increasing demand for crops and products.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the enforcement of the new European Union Framework Directive on the sustainable use of pesticides. The inclination for production capacity is increasing directly, with the rise in farm consolidation. Farms are seeking sprayers with higher capacities, as they help save the time spent on refilling the tanks. The Spanish government has made it easier for farmers to acquire loans from banks, in order to purchase agricultural equipment and forestry machinery, which is one of the major reasons for the high adoption rate of sprayers during the forecast period. Due to technological advances, vendors are introducing self-propelled sprayers and battery-operated sprayers, among others, to ease the work of farmers. For instance, solar-powered sprayers are gradually gaining the attention of farmers, as they can be charged using solar energy, as well as electricity in Europe.
