The global smart agriculture market is expected to witness a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period. Smart agriculture is a concept aimed to provide the agricultural industry with the infrastructure to use advanced technology. In addition, connectivity technologies such as WiFi, Zigbee, additional wireless sensors, and low-power wide-area network technology help farmers efficiently carry out a variety of agricultural activities such as harvesting, purchasing, planting, and inventory management. In addition, the increasing adoption of IoT and artificial intelligence has helped farmers to monitor cultivated land and automate irrigation processes. In addition, the introduction of advanced technology has improved organic farming, including greenhouses and vertical farming, and increased productivity. In addition, the adoption of IoT and artificial intelligence in greenhouses eradicates the need for constant monitoring of plants and provides farmers with cost-effective and optimal solutions with minimal manual intervention, and accelerates the growth of the smart agricultural market.
The smart agriculture market refers to the application of advanced technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and remote sensing, in agricultural practices. It aims to improve the efficiency, productivity, and sustainability of agricultural processes by enabling data-driven decision-making and automation.
The smart agriculture market has been growing steadily in recent years, driven by several factors:
Growing Global Population and Food Demand: The world's population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, increasing the demand for food production. Smart agriculture technologies help optimize crop yield, reduce wastage, and ensure efficient resource utilization to meet the rising demand.
Need for Enhanced Productivity and Efficiency: Farmers are increasingly adopting smart agriculture solutions to optimize their operations. These technologies enable real-time monitoring of crops, soil, and weather conditions, facilitating precise irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. Automation and robotics also play a role in streamlining labor-intensive tasks, such as harvesting and weeding.
Water Scarcity and Resource Management: With increasing water scarcity and environmental concerns, efficient water management is crucial in agriculture. Smart agriculture solutions provide precise monitoring of soil moisture levels, enabling optimized irrigation systems and water usage.
Government Initiatives and Support: Governments worldwide are promoting smart agriculture initiatives to address food security challenges and promote sustainable farming practices. Financial incentives, subsidies, and policies supporting the adoption of smart technologies contribute to market growth.
Advancements in IoT and AI Technologies: The proliferation of IoT devices and the advancements in AI and machine learning algorithms have made it easier to collect, analyze, and derive valuable insights from agricultural data. These technologies enable real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and automation in various farming processes.
Precision Farming and Data-Driven Decision Making: Smart agriculture facilitates precision farming by providing farmers with detailed information about crop health, soil conditions, and weather patterns. Data-driven insights help optimize the use of fertilizers, pesticides, and other inputs, reducing costs and minimizing environmental impact.
Increasing Demand for Sustainable Agriculture: Consumers and food companies are placing greater emphasis on sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices. Smart agriculture solutions support precision agriculture, reduce chemical usage, and promote sustainable resource management, aligning with these demands.
The mounting application of advanced technologies in agriculture, initiatives by the government in developed and emerging economies, mounting global food demand will propel the growth of the smart agriculture market during the forecast period 2023-2030. Nevertheless, the strategic alliance among industry players and digitalization in agriculture will propel the growth of the smart agriculture market.
DeLaval has launched the RC550 and RC700 robot collectors designed for hard floors to improve cow comfort and hoof condition. It is a unique rotary manure intake system that can process any manure without the use of additional water.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the global supply chain that has led to food shortages and increasing inflation. The outbreak has emphasized the importance of the need to remotely access agriculture operations. Smart agriculture practices can aid farmers to recover from the losses in a short span of time, thereby bolstering the growth of the smart agriculture market.
