Precision farming is a farm management model that revolves around observing, quantifying, and responding to various intra- and inter-field variable inputs in contemporary agriculture. The goal is to increase food production while optimizing resource use and reducing labor costs.
The main offerings in precision farming include hardware, software, and services. Hardware encompasses physical components or delivery systems that store and execute the instructions provided by software. In digital farming, hardware tools are employed to enhance resource utilization and showcase products in various forms. Examples of hardware tools extensively used in precision farming include automation and control systems, drones, application control devices, guidance systems, GPS (Global Positioning System), GIS (Geographic Information System), remote sensors, satellite sensors, driverless tractors, and mobile devices. Different technologies, such as guidance technology, remote sensing technology, and variable rate application, are applied in various precision farming activities, including yield monitoring, field mapping, crop scouting, weather tracking and forecasting, irrigation management, inventory management, farm labor management, and others.

The precision farming market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $8.86 billion in 2024 to $10.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing population, environmental concerns, government support, farm consolidation.
The precision farming market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.79 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to climate change adaptation, focus on sustainability. Major trends in the forecast period include big data and analytics, digital farming platforms, drone technology, robotics and automation, smart sensors and IoT devices, precision livestock farming, collaboration and partnerships.
The rising demand for food is expected to drive the growth of the precision farming market in the future. Food refers to substances containing essential nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, fats, and others that are used by organisms to support growth. Precision farming is an advanced agricultural method that uses technology to observe, measure, and analyze the specific needs of individual fields and crops, resulting in significantly higher yields. For example, in November 2023, the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, a US-based government agency, reported that global wheat production for 2023-2024 was 790.54 million metric tons, surpassing the 2022-2023 figure of 789.49 million tons. Therefore, the increasing demand for food and its production will boost the growth of the precision farming market.
The precision farming market is anticipated to experience a boost from the increasing prevalence of IoT-linked devices. These devices, such as sensors and drones, connect wirelessly to networks and gather real-time data on various farming variables, allowing farmers to make informed decisions promptly. The number of broadband IoT connections, reaching 1. 3 billion in 2022, is expected to grow further, with nearly 60% of cellular IoT connections predicted to be broadband IoT connections by the end of 2028, according to a report by Ericsson, a Sweden-based telecommunication company. The widespread adoption of IoT-linked devices is a key driver for the growth of the precision farming market.
A significant trend in the precision farming market is technological advancements, particularly in precision technology innovation for sustainable agriculture. Major companies in the precision farming market are actively developing advanced technologies to enhance various aspects of agriculture, including profitability, increased production, economic efficiency, and reduced environmental impact. For instance, JCB, a UK-based equipment manufacturer, launched the Fastrac iCON tractor with integrated precision technology designed for precision farming applications. This tractor features unique capabilities such as Universal Terminal, AUX-N capabilities, and simple task control, integrating GPS and NOVATEL Smart-7 receiver for high performance.
Innovative products, such as advanced blockage and flow monitoring systems, are being developed by major companies in the precision farming market to expand their customer base and increase revenue. Precision Planting, a US-based agricultural service company, introduced Clarity, an advanced system designed to enhance the real-time performance of agricultural equipment. This system provides a detailed display of critical information, allowing farmers to monitor the flow and distribution of products in real time, ensuring consistent peak performance.
In May 2022, IDEX Corporation, a US-based manufacturer, acquired KZValve, a US-based precision farming components manufacturer, to strengthen its capability to deliver essential solutions for industrial and agricultural applications.
