The global precision farming market is projected to grow from USD 9.7 billion in 2023 to USD 21.9 billion by 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.7% from 2023 to 2031.

“ Increasing demand for global food production to drive the growth of precision farming market”
The growth of the precision farming market is driven by rising food demand due to global population growth and limited arable land. Precision farming technologies enable efficient resource utilization, yield enhancement, reduced costs, and data-driven decision-making, optimizing agricultural practices to meet demand sustainably. As governments and organizations prioritize sustainable agriculture, precision farming’s alignment with these goals further accelerates its adoption, making it a pivotal solution in increasing food production while minimizing environmental impact.

“ Services segment to record highest CAGR in the precision farming market between 2023 and 2031”
The primary driver behind the expansion of the precision farming market is the swift integration of cutting-edge technologies to lower labor expenses. Additionally, the growing utilization of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in farming, significant cost savings linked to precision farming, the imperative to address climate change and food demand, and global governmental advocacy for precision farming methods contribute to this growth. Nonetheless, challenges such as the initial high costs of modern agricultural equipment and the constrained technical proficiency of farmers are anticipated to impede market advancement.

“Variable Rate Technology To exhibit Highest CAGR in the precision farming market between 2023 and 2031 ”
Variable Rate Technology (VRT) is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, as it encompasses both standalone VRT and integrated variable rate technologies. These technologies can be incorporated into GPS/GNSS devices. The essential components of VRT technology-driven agricultural solutions encompass a handheld computer, software, controller, and global positioning system (GPS). VRT technology empowers the adaptable application of inputs, enabling farmers to regulate input quantities for specific locations. The core constituents of the VRT-based tool consist of a computer, software, controller, and differential global positioning system (DGPS). VRT can function autonomously or in tandem with GPS/GNSS integration. When implemented on equipment, VRT allows for dynamic adjustment of input application rates across fields, facilitating site-specific field management to reduce input usage and environmental impact, enhance efficiency, and confer economic advantages. Furthermore, this technology aids in management choices, encompassing machinery investment, drainage system deployment, paddock layouts, and fertilizer allocation, thereby augmenting overall productivity and profitability enhancements.

“Weather Tracking and Forecasting application to grow at highest CAGR from 2023 to 2031 ”
Weather tracking and forecasting application is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. It is a pivotal parameter. This facet of precision farming furnishes real-time insights into prevalent weather conditions encompassing temperature, rainfall, wind speed and direction, and solar radiation. A variety of tools, ranging from handheld devices to on-field weather stations, find utility in this application. Weather tracking enables proactive decision-making in anticipation of severe and potentially hazardous conditions, safeguarding both the welfare of farmers’ families and the continuity of their businesses.

“The precision farming market APAC to register highest CAGR from 2023-2031
The precision farming market in the Asia-Pacific region is set to witness significant growth, driven by a robust demand for automation within the agricultural sector, which holds paramount importance in countries like China, Japan, India, Vietnam, and South Korea. Asia Pacific, encompassing technologically advanced nations like China, South Korea, and Thailand, is expected to experience a surge in the adoption of precision farming technologies, notably drones. Furthermore, developed countries in Asia, including Japan, prioritize implementing autonomous tractors. The confluence of factors such as rapid population growth, available arable land, and government support through subsidies collectively contribute to the widespread adoption of precision farming across Asia Pacific. Noteworthy is the significant role played by governmental initiatives that promote agricultural automation, substantively driving the expansion of the precision farming market in this region.
