Precision Farming Software Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Delivery Model (Cloud Based and Local/Web Based), Offering (Hardware, Services and Software), Service Provider, Technology, Application and by Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Precision Farming Software Market is accounted for $1517.42 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $ 3659.31 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 13.4 % during the forecast period. One of the most cutting-edge agricultural practices to acquire popularity in the twenty-first century is precision farming, it is both scientifically and technologically sophisticated and the precise field location of the tractor is established using the GPS. It transmits the signal to a tractor computer equipped with a GIS and a map of the soil's nutrient needs. A variable-rate fertilizer applicator that is mounted to the tractor is instructed to apply the right amount of fertilizer at that precise location by the GIS in coordination with a decision support system.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising demand in food and resources

The supply of fresh water is one of the resources under demand as a result of the rising demand for food. Furthermore, in the future, it will be necessary to reduce the amount of water used, for instance by cultivating plants with lower water requirements or improving irrigation systems in order to enhance productivity. Therefore, these factors will raise the demand for precision farming.

Restraint:

Lack of expertise in technology

Many farmers are not ready to invest in new agricultural technologies because they lack the necessary knowledge. Additionally, it has been said that farmers' hesitation to invest in agritech is mostly due to their ignorance of how it works. Therefore, a limited rate of market growth is therefore expected.

Opportunity:

New innovative schemes by government

Governments all around the world are now placing a higher priority on the wellbeing of farmers. Additionally, it implements a range of initiatives to provide assistance for farmers in an effort to boost the agricultural sector and improve farmers' financial situations. As a result, the government has started new initiatives, programs, schemes, and plans to aid all farmers which would lead to a rise in the market for precision farming.

Threat:

Risks associated with security and privacy data

Farmers can be worried about the security and privacy of their data, particularly if it is stored in the cloud or shared with outside service providers. Sharing private information with software providers, such as crop yields, soil composition, and equipment details, may give farmers trouble. Additionally, this may result in an unwillingness to use precision farming software equipment, which might lower agricultural output. Moreover, inadequate security measures can expose agricultural data to hacks, putting confidential data and exclusive farming methods at risk. Furthermore, unauthorized access or data manipulation can impede business operations, damage yields, and diminish consumer confidence in technological solutions. Therefore, this hinders the market's expansion.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 has been affecting economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The temporary shutdown of several plants and factories has had a detrimental influence on the production, delivery schedules, and sales of goods on the international market. In terms of confirmed cases and reported deaths, the US, India, Brazil, Russia, France, the UK, Turkey, Italy, and Spain are among the countries that have been most severely impacted. Additionally, the chances for commercial alliances and collaborations are being impacted by the worldwide travel bans implemented by nations in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America.

The software segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

It is anticipated that the software segment is expected to hold the largest share since it provides an internet-based computing platform that enables users to request shared processing of resources and data. Additionally, the software is more widely used than other services as it offers a number of benefits, such as data sharing, enhanced performance, the availability of the system across a variety of devices from any location with internet access, and simplicity of use.

The yield monitoring segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

It is projected that the yield monitoring sector would experience the highest CAGR throughout the forecast period due to the fact that it is the most well-known brand of precision farming software and assists farmers in analyzing field variability and boosting yields. Furthermore, farmers can also use yield monitoring to learn more about the weather, the characteristics of the soil, and fertilizers, all of which can have an effect on overall grain output. Soil monitoring is the most typical application of yield monitoring. Therefore, through soil monitoring, it is possible to identify soil components that are crucial for generating outcomes of the highest standard.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific commanded the largest market share during the extrapolated period. Farmers in the area are turning to precision farming software solutions as a result of the rising use of modern farming technologies and the demand for effective farming methods. Additionally, these software systems include tools that help farmers optimize their resources and increase crop productivity, such as crop monitoring, yield forecasts, soil analysis, and automated machinery control. Precision farming software companies have access to a sizable market in the Asia Pacific region due to the region's diverse agricultural landscape, which includes both large-scale commercial farms and smallholder enterprises.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is expected to witness highest CAGR over the projection period. Precision farming software solutions are becoming more popular among North American farmers due to their use of modern agricultural techniques and a significant emphasis on technology adoption in agriculture. These software platforms give farmers options for improving production and saving expenditures, including real-time data analytics, remote sensing, variable rate technologies, and farm management applications. Furthermore, the growth of the industry in North America is fueled by government assistance in the form of grants, subsidies, and programs supporting precision agriculture and growing public awareness of sustainable agricultural methods.
