• The size of the agriculture market for guidance and steering system is predicted to witness considerable growth in the coming years, increasing to "$3.27 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.
The expected growth during the forecast period is due to factors such as the rise in market trends, demands for precision farming, uptake of precision agriculture, market growth, and the need for environmental sustainability. Several trends will influence this growth during the forecast period, including improved precision agriculture, the incorporation of AI and machine learning, IoT and data connectivity, autonomous farming advancements, customization, and adaptability.
Expectations are high for guidance and steering systems' growth in the agriculture market, largely due to the rising adoption of precision farming. Essentially, precision farming, or precision agriculture, is a strategy in agricultural management that employs state-of-the-art technology to enhance crop yields and minimize waste. It's through guidance and steering systems -- integral to precision farming -- that such efficiency is achieved. Using GPS and other innovations, these systems ensure agricultural machinery like tractors, combines, and sprayers operate with utmost accuracy. This precision in operation aids in efficient utilization of resources like water, fertilizers, and pesticides, thereby reducing waste and boosting crop yields. It's this factor that propels the growth of guidance and steering system in the agriculture market. As an example, the U.S. Wheat Associates Inc., a US-based export market development organization, reported in August 2022 that farmers employing precision farming technology noted a 4% rise in crop yield, a 7% increase in fertilizer effectiveness, a 9% reduction in herbicide and pesticide usage, and a 6% drop in fossil fuel consumption. Hence, the surge in precision farming adoption is anticipated to stimulate the agriculture market's guidance and steering system.
