Crop Monitoring Market by Offering, Technology (Remote Sensing, AI & Computer Vision, Automation & Robotics, Others), Farm Type, Application (Yield Monitoring, Crop Scouting, Nutrient Monitoring, Others), and Geography-Global Forecast to 2031.
The research report titled 'Crop Monitoring Market by Offering, Technology (Remote Sensing, AI & Computer Vision, Automation & Robotics, Others), Farm Type, Application (Yield Monitoring, Crop Scouting, Nutrient Monitoring, Others), and Geography-Global Forecast to 2031' provides an in-depth analysis of global crop monitoring market across five major geographies and emphasizes on the current market trends, market sizes, market shares, recent developments, and forecasts till 2031.
The global crop monitoring market is projected to reach $10.8 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 19.9% from 2024 to 2031.
The growth of the crop monitoring market is driven by the growing demand for remote sensing technologies for precision farming, increasing government initiatives supporting the adoption of IoT in the agriculture sector, and rising population and growing demand for high-quality agriculture products. However, the high costs of advanced agriculture equipment and dynamic government rules and regulations for the agriculture sector may restrain the growth of this market.
Furthermore, the rising integration of AI and IoT technologies in crop monitoring devices and constant upgrades in mapping and navigation solutions are expected to generate growth opportunities for the stakeholders in this market. However, a lack of technical knowledge among farmers and low penetration of agriculture technologies in developing countries are major challenges impacting the growth of the crop monitoring market.
The crop monitoring market is segmented by offering (hardware (sensing and monitoring devices (moisture sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and other sensing and monitoring devices), automation and control systems (GNSS/GPS, flow and application control devices, and other automation and control systems), drones, consoles and displays, other hardware), software, services), technology (remote sensing, AI & computer vision, IoT, cloud technologies, big data, automation & robotics, other technologies), farm type (small farms (less than 2 hectares), medium farms (between 2 - 10 hectares), large farms (more than 10 hectares)), application (yield monitoring, field mapping, crop scouting, nutrient monitoring, pest control, other applications). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the regional and country levels.
Based on offering, the crop monitoring market is segmented into hardware, software, and services. In 2024, the hardware segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global crop monitoring market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the rapid automation of agricultural processes, rising demand for drones to monitor yield, and increasing labor costs. For instance, in November 2021, XAG Co., Ltd. (China) launched V40 and P40 agricultural drones for rural areas with an aging population and weak infrastructure to conduct mapping, spraying, and broadcasting on farms. These drones help farmers improve crop yields, cut costs, measure and monitor the health of crops, and detect the presence of weeds, insects, and other soil conditions in the field.
However, the software segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The segment's growth is driven by the increasing need to collect data and provide insights regarding crop conditions, the growing need to increase farm yield and reduce labor, and increasing digitalization.
Based on technology, the crop monitoring market is segmented into remote sensing, AI & computer vision, IoT, cloud technologies, big data, automation & robotics, and other technologies. In 2024, the remote sensing segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global crop monitoring market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the reduction in the prices of sensors, rapid automation of agricultural processes, and increasing government spending promoting farm automation systems. For instance, in June 2022, Farmsense (U.S.) launched FlightSensor, a real-time pest monitoring system for commercial farmers to efficiently manage pests, optimize crop yield, and improve insect monitoring & crop management efforts.
However, the big data segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The segment's growth is driven by the increasing use of big data for monitoring crop health, helping farmers collect valuable knowledge about diverse aspects of crop growth, disease detection, and pest management.
Based on farm type, the crop monitoring market is segmented into small farms (less than 2 hectares), medium farms (between 2 - 10 hectares), and large farms (more than 10 hectares). In 2024, the large farms segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global crop monitoring market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the increasing adoption of advanced technologies in large-sized farms to quickly and accurately assess the health, growth, and yield of crops over large areas of land. Moreover, this segment is also projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on application, the crop monitoring market is segmented into yield monitoring, field mapping, crop scouting, nutrient monitoring, pest control, and other applications. In 2024, the yield monitoring segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global crop monitoring market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the growing adoption of precision farming practices, growth in the global population driving higher food demand, government subsidies in the agriculture sector, and the need for enhanced profitability and increased yield. For instance, in March 2021, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) (U.S.) partnered with CropX Inc. (Israel) to establish the parameters for water usage estimates, yield prediction, soil quality, support sustainable agriculture, & improve crop yields. Moreover, this segment is also projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on geography, the crop monitoring market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2024, Europe is expected to account for the largest share of the global crop monitoring market. Europe's large market share is attributed to the increasing demand for improvised food products, the growing interest of farmers in adopting precision farming, and growing government investments to adopt IoT solutions. For instance, in January 2021, the European Union offered USD 9.3 million (EUR 7.9 million) funding for the Robs4Crops project to accelerate the shift toward the large-scale implementation of robotics and automation in European farming. This project started in January 2021 and will run for four years.
However, the market in Asia-Pacific is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this market is attributed to the increasing adoption of smart devices for agriculture, rising demand for enhanced food quality, and government initiatives aimed at promoting the adoption of precision farming. For instance, in February 2021, Indonesia's Ministry of Agriculture signed a MoU with Microsoft to strengthen the country's data-driven agriculture ecosystem and empower smallholder farmers with tech-focused solutions. Additionally, it helps Indonesian farmers to capture agriculture datasets, such as crop yields, weather data, market demand, and prices, to build machine learning models.
