Big data analytics in agriculture involves gathering, processing, and analyzing large amounts of data from various agricultural sources such as weather, soil, crop health, and machinery. This process helps make informed decisions, optimize farming practices, improve crop yields, and enhance overall farm productivity. It supports precise decision-making, which leads to optimized resource usage, increased crop yields, cost reduction, and improved sustainability.
The primary components of big data analytics in agriculture include solutions and services. Solutions refer to the software and platforms that facilitate data collection, storage, analysis, and visualization, enabling farmers and agribusinesses to make data-driven decisions for better efficiency and productivity. These components are categorized into data capturing, storing, sharing, analyzing, and other applications across chemical, financial, weather, farm equipment, and crop production sectors.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.
The big data analytics in agriculture market research report is one of a series of new reports from the business research company that provides big data analytics in agriculture market statistics, including big data analytics in agriculture industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an big data analytics in agriculture market share, detailed big data analytics in agriculture market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the big data analytics in agriculture industry. This big data analytics in agriculture market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The big data analytics in agriculture market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.3 billion in 2024 to $1.46 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to changing weather patterns, soil health, crop yields, pest and disease outbreaks, technological adoption, market prices, and water usage.
The big data analytics in agriculture market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.32 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to climate change, technological advances, population growth, regulatory changes, sustainability practices, pest and disease management, and resource availability. Major trends in the forecast period include precision agriculture, smart irrigation systems, automated machinery, drone technology, genetic modification, data-driven decision-making, and blockchain for supply chain management.
The forecast of 12.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.9% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The US agri-tech sector may suffer delays in deploying big data solutions as tariffs impact imports of edge computing devices and remote sensing software used in precision farming. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing adoption of precision farming is expected to drive the growth of big data analytics in the agriculture market. Precision farming is an agricultural management approach that uses technology to optimize crop production and efficiency by closely monitoring and responding to variations in field conditions. This method is gaining popularity due to its ability to boost productivity, lower input costs, and reduce environmental impact through targeted resource application. Big data analytics supports precision farming by analyzing vast amounts of data to provide insights for precise decision-making in crop management. For instance, a report published by the United States Department of Agriculture in August 2023 indicated that the average adoption of precision agriculture in the US increased from 25% in 2021 to 27% in 2023. North Dakota leads with an adoption rate of 57%, followed by states such as Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota, each with rates of 49% or higher. Thus, the growing adoption of precision farming is set to boost the growth of big data analytics in the agriculture market.
Major companies in the big data analytics agriculture market are forming strategic partnerships to enhance AI, machine learning, and market reach. A strategic partnership is a collaborative relationship where organizations combine resources, expertise, and efforts to achieve common goals. For example, in September 2023, Agrematch, an Israeli biotechnology and AI company, partnered with ICL Group Ltd., an Israeli agrochemical manufacturer, to advance AI in searching for biostimulants to optimize agriculture. This collaboration aims to maximize crop yields, improve resource efficiency, and promote sustainable farming practices by providing farmers with precise, data-driven recommendations for using fertilizers and other inputs. Agrematch leverages data science and AI, using advanced machine and deep learning algorithms, a proprietary database, and integrating these technologies with expertise in biology, chemistry, and agriculture. They have developed a robust AI predictive platform to drive innovation, reduce environmental impact, and support farmers in improving productivity and sustainability.
In October 2023, Ever.Ag, a U.S.-based agricultural software provider, acquired Austin Data Labs for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance Ever.Ag's agricultural software solutions with advanced data analytics capabilities to optimize supply chain management and promote sustainability in global food systems. Austin Data Labs is a U.S.-based data analytics solutions company for the agricultural sector.
