The agriculture sensor market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.27% between 2025 to 2030.
Sensing technology is used in smart agriculture to provide data to farmers that help monitor soil, weather, and crop condition. It enables farmers to maximize yield using minimal resources such as water, fertilizers, and seeds. The global agriculture sensor market is expected to have a significant growth rate as farmers all over the world are adopting modern technologies to increase productivity. Manufacturers are focusing on the development of sensor technology for small farms which is expected to expand the market further. There has been increasing support from the government of major agriculture nations in developing the infrastructure which enables the deployment of smart agriculture techniques. However, a lack of awareness among farmers of developing nations regarding the use of sensors in the absence of educational or awareness programs is expected to limit the market growth.
By application, yield management is expected to have a significant market share as farmers are increasingly using it to maximize the yield. By geography, North America is expected to have a noticeable market share due to the availability of supporting infrastructure for precision agriculture. The Asia Pacific is expected to have a rapid growth rate due to rising investment in agriculture and government support.
