Analyst Viewpoint
The connected agriculture market is experiencing rapid growth as farmers increasingly adopt digital technologies to improve productivity, resource efficiency, and sustainability. The integration of IoT devices, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, GPS systems, and data analytics is enabling real-time farm monitoring and precision decision-making. Rising concerns regarding food security, labor shortages, climate variability, and water scarcity are further accelerating the adoption of smart farming solutions. As governments and agricultural organizations continue to invest in digital agriculture initiatives, market participants focusing on integrated farm management platforms, automation technologies, and data-driven solutions are expected to strengthen their competitive position throughout the forecast period.
Connected Agriculture Market Dynamics
Increasing demand for smart water management
Water management for agriculture is an essential factor to inflate crop yields with decreased costs while contributing to environmental stability. Agriculture leaders are worried about the scarcity of water and are working on ways to improve the management of water in agriculture. Water management applications in connected agriculture, which embrace the IoT, mobile applications, big data analytics, and decision support system are servicing to produce eco-friendly and optimized agricultural outputs for a growing population. In connected agriculture, sensors, and IoT networks are programmed to collect data related to an individual plant’s water usage, total water usage, soil moisture, and others. Water management processes can also be automated with well-designed integrations to use basic water-saving techniques, allowing farmers time to manage manual work.
Moreover, mobile technology plays an important role in the worldwide adoption of connected farming techniques. More than 60 percent of farmers worldwide now use smartphones and tablet computers, according to the Farm Journal Media Survey in February 2015. The use of smartphones among farmers has been steadily rising since 2009 and is expected to grow extensively in the coming years. The smartphone has become a new farming tool for farmers around the world, as it is integrated with numerous agricultural-related user-friendly applications (apps). Smartphones help farmers gain accurate information on climate data and changes in the weather, helping them to prepare which crops to grow, when to harvest, and so on. For aerial imaging and record keeping, smartphones can be used, which tasks are recommended by experts. Growers can load field data and then, by using their cell phones, grid the details based on acres. The introduction of mobile technology into farm operations is therefore expected to provide the connected agricultural market with opportunities.
However, a lack of awareness among end users and high capital investment for establishing connected agriculture infrastructure is expected to act as a restraint for market growth. Farmers or growers have to make huge investments in drones, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to collect input data, variable rate technology, and satellite devices, among others.
Connected Agriculture Market Segmentation Analysis
In-production management segment to augment the market growth
The globally connected agriculture market has been segmented by application into pre-production management, in-production management, and post-production management. The In-production management segment is expected to hold the largest share in the year 2019. The in-production management section of connected agriculture leads to a higher production rate with a lower cost per unit for good product quality. In-production management allows farmers to access real-time data to make proactive decisions that help in the production of effective yields. The pre-production management segment is expected to grow with a significant CAGR of xx% during the forecast period. It supports agricultural producers and businesses by providing relevant information and consulting about planning and management before production starts.
