Crop Production Market Report 2026

The crop production market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.45 trillion in 2025 to $5.83 trillion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of traditional farming practices, rising global food demand, dependence on manual labor, increasing use of chemical fertilizers, growing adoption of irrigation systems.

The crop production market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.55 trillion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising need for sustainable agriculture, increasing adoption of precision inputs, development of climate-resilient seeds, growth in organic farming demand, expansion of advanced farm mechanization. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing shift toward sustainable crop production, rising adoption of high-yield crop varieties, growing emphasis on climate-resilient farming practices, expansion of organic and chemical-free cultivation, increasing focus on enhancing soil health and productivity.

The increasing global population is expected to drive the growth of the crop production market in the coming years. Population growth refers to the rise in the number of individuals within a population over a specific period. As the population expands, farmers have the opportunity to benefit from economies of scale by producing larger quantities of crops and selling them at a lower cost per unit. For example, in July 2025, the US-based Census Bureau reported that the world population reached 8 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach 8.1 billion this year, 9 billion by 2038, 10 billion by 2057, and is expected to peak at 10.9 billion in 2098. Consequently, the rising population is fueling the growth of the crop production market.

Major players in the crop production market are investing in agrirobots such as SentiV to improve productivity, sustainability, and resilience. SentiV, an AI-powered scouting robot, serves as a crop inspector, highlighting variability within field crop plots and identifying potential threats. In January 2023, Meropy, a France-based agricultural machinery manufacturer, introduced SentiV as a significant advancement in autonomous agriculture. Equipped with sensors and cameras, SentiV can analyze up to 20 hectares of croplands per day, efficiently detecting harvest threats such as pests, diseases, and weed damage. This innovation is poised to revolutionize traditional farming practices, providing farmers with a more efficient and targeted approach to crop monitoring.

In January 2025, Crystal Crop Protection, an India-based agrochemical company, acquired Bayer AG’s Ethoxysulfuron business for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Crystal Crop aims to expand its footprint in the Asian agrochemical market, enhance its portfolio in rice and cereal crop protection, and increase its revenue by 20% by incorporating Bayer’s 'Sunrice' trademark, mixture products containing Ethoxysulfuron, and all associated registrations. Bayer AG is a Germany-based multinational corporation specializing in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and life sciences.

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.

Tariffs on agricultural inputs, machinery, fertilizers, and seeds have raised production costs in the crop production market, particularly affecting regions reliant on imported technologies such as Asia-Pacific and Africa. These tariffs impact segments like organic farming, greenhouse cultivation, and high-value crop production, where specialized inputs and equipment are often imported. While tariffs may slow technology adoption and increase operational expenses, they can also encourage local manufacturing of inputs and machinery, potentially strengthening domestic supply chains and reducing long-term dependence on imports.
