Report Overview

There is constant pressure on the farmers to produce more food and animal feed with lesser amounts of chemicals. At the same time, it is essential to use less energy and labor while improving the management of environmental land and water. With the population growing rapidly, it is becoming very difficult to feed the increasing population, thereby creating high pressure to increase agricultural productivity. The use of software such as precision farming along with the Internet of Things (IoT) tools is a solution to all these requirements.

Global Digital Agriculture Market - Industry Trends & Forecast Report 2028

The global digital agriculture market was worth USD 10.7 billion in 2021 and is further projected to reach USD 31.8 billion by the year 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 16.8% during the forecast period (2022-2028). Growing demand for higher crop health and production, labor scarcity in agriculture, and the rising concern about food security and nutrition are the main reasons propelling the market for digital agriculture. The agriculture sector has experienced a significant rise owing to the growing awareness of the advantages of digital agriculture in maximizing agricultural production as the paucity of labor, combined with rising food demand. As the world’s population grows, so does the demand for more food, which requires more production at a lower cost in a limited resource environment. Farmers use digital agriculture technologies due to the rising food demand brought in by the expanding population.

Global Digital Agriculture Overview

To improve crop yield and food production, various stakeholders, including farmers, researchers, and others who are involved in the agriculture system or a value chain, use new, cutting-edge, and innovative technologies that have been integrated into a single system or piece of software. This practice is known as digital agriculture. Given the rise in global food consumption, technological and digital innovations in the agriculture sector have been identified as workable answers to some of the problems being faced in the global food system. Different agriculture industry suppliers strive for better access to the local or worldwide supply chain as well as more excellent distribution. Additionally, buyers seek food traceability, improved price transparency, and quicker access to product information. To meet all market demands, digital platforms have appeared in the agriculture sector.

Global Digital Agriculture Market Trends

Growth Driver

Technological Advancements in Agriculture Sector

Every industry, including agriculture, is undergoing a digital revolution. Demand for higher-quality food, rapid population expansion, climate change, water shortages, pollution, dwindling biodiversity, and wealth-driven higher-value nutrition are all concerns that digital agriculture addresses. Additionally, digital agriculture assists in handling distribution and logistics as well as other tasks like purchasing seeds and giving cash loans to farmers. The development of the digital era is pushing people everywhere to adopt new work practices. The usage of mobile phones for digital farming hastens this trend.

Growing Need for High Productivity and Better Crop Health

Farmers are under constant pressure to increase food and animal feed production while reducing pesticide usage. In addition, it is crucial to improve environmental land and water management while using less energy and labor. In order to feed the rapidly expanding population, it is getting more and harder, placing more pressure on agricultural productivity. Through the effective use of time and resources, agriculture may become more productive, reliable, and efficient. This provides substantial advantages for farmers in addition to wider social advantages elsewhere in the world. Additionally, it enables firms to share information beyond traditional industry borders, creating new, disruptive potential. The development of the digital era is pushing people everywhere to adopt new work practices.

Restraints

Lack of Technical Knowledge

Information and technology-based farm management systems find, analyses, and control the variability in fields by putting crop production techniques into action at the right location, time, and in the right way. This enables them to achieve the maximum profitability, sustainability, and preservation of land resources. Only a small minority of farmers have adopted any kind of precision agriculture (PA) technological system strategy to reorganize the entire agricultural system toward low-input, high-efficiency, and sustainable agriculture, despite substantial study.

Global Digital Agriculture Market – By Component Type

Based on component type, the global digital agriculture market has been divided into three segments, i.e., hardware, software, and services. The hardware segment is sub-divided into displays, steering and guiding systems, GPS/GNSS devices, irrigation controls, and drones/UAVs. The hardware segment accounted for the largest market share as companies are continually looking for new methods to bring innovative products and services to consumers. Some of the companies that operate in the digital agriculture market also sell farming robots.

Global Digital Agriculture Market – By Application

Based on application, digital agriculture market has been segmented into field mapping, crop scouting, weather tracking, drone analytics, financial management, farm inventory management, precision farming, livestock monitoring, greenhouse farming, and others. The greenhouse farming segment accounted for the largest market share due to its capacity to grow a variety of crops outside of its native habitat and people utilize. Greenhouse farming has variety of crops, the most common of which being tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and melons. Grapes, cherries, Japanese persimmons, figs, loquats, lemons, and mangoes, as well as a variety of flowers, are all grown in greenhouses.

Global Digital Agriculture Market – By Region

Based on region, the market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa, wherein North America region accounted for the largest share in 2021 owing to consumers increasing preference toward digital technologies for agriculture. Advanced economy coupled with the early adoption of the latest technologies have resulted in growth of digital agriculture in this region. The area is a pioneer in implementing new technology. The region's market has a high revenue due to factors including expanding government efforts that boost the implementation of modern agriculture technology and established infrastructure.

Impact of COVID-19 on the India Global Digital Agriculture Market

Numerous enterprises and human lives were affected after the fatal disease COVID-19 broke out in 2020. The sudden adoption of the lockdown in the many countries affected several industries, causing the unanticipated closure of their firms and the collapse of the economies. The COVID-19 series of lockdowns that began in 2020 had a negative impact on several industries, including the digital agriculture. The market for digital agriculture has been severely disrupted by the recent coronavirus outbreak. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the digital agriculture market saw a modest drop in 2020 as equipment shortages and mobility limitations forced supply chains to break down.

The impact of COVID-19 resulted in significant and widespread increase in global food insecurity, impacting vulnerable households in virtually every nation, and the effects are anticipated to last through 2022. The digital agriculture supply chain has been disrupted by COVID-19, and businesses are experimenting with fresh methods of electronic communication which help in growth and farmers. On the plus side, corporations have started to place more focus on wireless platforms in the post-COVID-19 situation to give real-time decision making in yield monitoring, crop health monitoring, field mapping, irrigation scheduling, and harvesting management.
