The crop monitoring market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There has been a significant expansion in the size of the crop monitoring market in the past few years. It is expected to escalate from a value of $3.3 billion in 2024 to around $3.83 billion in 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.1%.
The progress during the historical period can be credited to the rising demand for food security, environmental worries, governmental endeavors, data analysis and artificial intelligence.
The crop monitoring market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for crop monitoring is predicted to experience swift expansion in the upcoming years, reaching a value of $7 billion by 2029 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.3%.
This anticipated increase over the forecast period can be linked to the adoption of precision agriculture, efforts to reduce climate change, and the escalating demand for organic farming. The prominent trends expected during this forecast period involve market proliferation, amalgamation with Internet of Things (IoT) and big data, strategic alliances and collaborations, the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and end-to-end farm to table traceability.
Expectations are high that the growth of the crop monitoring industry will be accelerated by the rising use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. These IoT devices are physical objects equipped with sensors and software that facilitate data exchange over the internet. They are now being employed for crop monitoring, acting as a revolutionary method that employs technology to improve farming techniques and crop management, aiding farmers in making informed decisions, optimizing resource utilization, and maximizing crop yield. As an example, the CRO Forum, a high-level group of risk managers based in the Netherlands, reported in April 2022 about an IoT risk from an insurance viewpoint. It is forecasted to rise to 24.1 billion IoT devices by 2030. In addition, according to the US online platform, Exploding Topics, in March 2023, there is an expected 25.4 billion IoT devices by 2030. Thus, the expanding use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is a significant driving factor for the advancement of the crop monitoring industry.
