Increasing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) coupled with investments in cutting-edge agricultural technologies is driving the market growth.
Market CAGR for AgTech is being driven by the increasing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) coupled with investments in cutting-edge agricultural technologies. The expansion of precision agriculture can be attributed to the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the utilization of advanced analytics by farmers. Advanced analytics, a component of data science, employs various tools and methods to analyze data, providing forecasts to ensure optimal nurturing of crops and soil. This empowers farmers to strategically plan their actions based on the insights derived.
Additionally, the increasing investments in technologies like driverless tractors, guidance systems, and GPS sensing systems are expected to further boost the growth of the precision agriculture market during the study period. For example, in April 2022, Agtech firm EarthScout introduced an innovative addition to its scalable line of agriculture products designed to assist farmers and food producers during droughts. This product aims to conserve water, reduce irrigation, and minimize inputs by offering real-time data on soil moisture and growing constraints. The EarthScout Soil Cub, a compact 4.5"x3"x2" commercial-grade sensor, is strategically placed in the field to monitor soil moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity at different soil depths. This allows growers to monitor moisture and nutrient levels throughout the root zone, enabling them to make informed adjustments to inputs. As a result, it is anticipated that throughout the projection period, demand for the AgTech Market will increase due to the increasing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) coupled with investments in cutting-edge agricultural technologies. Thus, driving the AgTech Market revenue.
The AgTech Market segmentation, based on Application includes Precision agriculture, livestock monitoring and management, indoor farming, aquaculture, and Other Agtech segments. The precision agriculture segment dominated the market, accounting for 58% of market revenue (10.9 billion). Advancements in agricultural technology have the potential to significantly drive the adoption of precision farming. As per ETNO, the European Union is projected to witness a rise in the number of active Internet of Things (IoT) connections in agriculture. The recorded count was 46.92 million connections in 2022, with an expected increase to 70.26 million by 2025. Various applications of IoT devices in agriculture include the use of drones for surveillance or the distribution of seeds.
