Market Insight

Precision agriculture is also known as precision farming. It makes farming practices more controlled and accurate when it comes to raising livestock and growing crops. Precision agriculture is a farming management using digital techniques to monitor agricultural processes. Rather than applying the same amount of fertilizer over an entire agriculture field. The precision agriculture is a method to increases the quality and quantity of agricultural output with the use of less input i.e. energy, fertilizers, pesticides, and water. Its main aim is to save cost, reduce environmental impact and produce more and better food life. This method of precision agriculture depends upon the combination of new sensor technologies, satellite navigation and positioning technology and the internet of things.

Precision agriculture is growingly popular amongst farmer owing to the need for optimum production with available resources. Further, global warming causes an unexpected weather change that necessitates the adoption of advanced technologies to enhance productivity and crop yield. Different technologies such as weather forecasting, real-time farm monitoring, and optimal field requirement enable the farmers to increase the productivity with minimum human efforts and wastages. Additionally, governments across the globe encourage modern agriculture techniques to enhance productivity and crop yield. However, lack of awareness about the benefit of precision agriculture among farmers and affordability of technology are restraining the growth of the market to short term. Moreover, a rapidly growing use of IoT and technological innovations such as vertical farms with smart design provides immense scope to the global precision agriculture market.

Geographically, the precision agriculture market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW. North America holds a large share in the global precision agriculture market owing to developed infrastructure and increasing government initiatives for the adoption of modern agriculture technologies. The U.S. and Canada are the recent adopters of precision farming technology in this region.
