Precision Farming/Agriculture Market to Reach USD $14.1 Billion by 2026 | Reports and Data

NEW YORK, August 29, 2019 (Newswire.com) - ​​Increasing usage of IoT in the agriculture sector is contributing to the growth of the precision Farming/Agriculture market. Farm managers and producers are leveraging the capabilities of IoT devices, such as sensors, GPS and GNSS systems, and automated steering systems, for soil sampling, temperature monitoring, filed mapping, irrigation management and several other applications

According to the current analysis of Reports and Data, the global precision Farming/Agriculture market was valued at USD $5.3 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD $14.1 billion by the year 2026 at a CAGR of 12.7%. This high growth is mainly attributable to the increasing usage of GPS and GIS systems to monitor agricultural parameters. These field mapping systems help to gather real-time data and enable the analysis of a huge geospatial data set. These systems facilitate field mapping, soil sampling, and farm planning and help farmers to adopt effective soil or plant treatment strategies, increasing farm production. In addition, sensors are placed throughout the field that measure temperature, nutrition level and humidity of the soil. Therefore, the technology eliminates manual human efforts by automating crucial processes, including real-time farm monitoring and information sharing.

Precision Farming/Agriculture is swiftly gaining popularity among farmers due to the increasing need for optimum production with the given resources. Further, the changing weather patterns due to increasing global warming have necessitated the adoption of advanced technologies to enhance the productivity and crop yield. Another factor contributing to the precision Farming/Agriculture market growth is the huge use of drones and aircrafts for precision Farming/Agriculture operations. Drones have emerged as an excellent alternative to the traditional surveying and data gathering methods in agricultural operations. By using drones for crop monitoring, farm owners can significantly lower their production costs and reduce required man-hours and work-load. The players operating in the market are developing modern agriculture-focused drones with sophisticated precision and accuracy to increase productivity.

The major factors driving the precision Farming/Agriculture technology is the growing use of cloud-based technology, rising use of smartphones and the increasing application of technology in Farming/Agriculture with the aim of minimizing human efforts and losses. Additionally, the need to maximize food production by the optimum use of resources is spurring market growth globally. Furthermore, the government incentives and subsidies increased productivity, and conserving the environment is expected to catalyze the demand for precision Farming/Agriculture. Some of the other factors affecting the overall growth of the market are changing climatic conditions, rapid urbanization and the expanding application of navigation systems

The major restraints of the market are the affordability of the technology and lack of awareness about the benefits of precision Farming/Agriculture among farmers, particularly in the developing countries of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Thailand, among others.
