The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to 5G connectivity in rural areas, government initiatives and subsidies, global connectivity and access to information. Major trends in the forecast period include digital twins and simulation models, advancements in sensor technologies, precision farming technologies, AI and machine learning in crop management, farm management software platforms.

The projected growth in population is set to fuel advancements in the digital agriculture market. This rise in population, encompassing birth rates, mortality rates, and migration figures, globally or within specific regions, presents an impetus for agricultural technology innovation. Artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things stand poised to transform agricultural intelligence, enhancing yields and curbing food losses. Notably, according to The United Nations in December 2023, the global population is anticipated to swell by nearly 2 billion individuals in the next three decades, reaching 9.7 billion by 2050, ushering in demographic shifts and varied growth rates across regions.

The increasing environmental concerns are projected to drive the growth of the digital agriculture market in the coming years. These concerns encompass a variety of issues related to the degradation and depletion of natural resources, pollution, climate change, and other factors that threaten ecosystems and human well-being. The digital agriculture market plays a crucial role in addressing these environmental challenges by promoting sustainable farming practices through precision technologies and data-driven insights. For example, a report from the World Resources Institute, a U.S.-based organization focused on environmental and sustainability issues, indicated in April 2024 that global tree cover loss rose by 24% in 2023, increasing from 22.8 million hectares in 2022 to 28.3 million hectares. Additionally, a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous intergovernmental organization based in France, noted in March 2024 that global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions increased by 1.1% in 2023, amounting to an additional 410 million metric tons (Mt CO2) compared to 321 million metric tons in 2022, reaching a record high of over 37.4 billion metric tons in 2023, compared to 36.8 billion metric tons in 2022. Therefore, the rise in environmental concerns is fueling the growth of the digital agriculture market.

Major companies in the digital agriculture sector are focusing on integrating intelligent technologies, such as generative artificial intelligence (AI), to maintain their market position. Generative AI platforms in agriculture are transforming farming practices by leveraging advanced technologies to deliver real-time data and insights for optimizing crop production and supply chain management. For instance, in July 2024, Cropin Technology Solutions, an India-based agricultural technology company, launched Sage, an agri-intelligence platform powered by Google Gemini. This platform uses generative AI to enhance crop production and supply chains. Sage creates a grid-based map of the agricultural landscape with options of 3x3 meters, 10x10 meters, or 5x5 kilometers, providing precise and rapid data. This technology assists companies, seed manufacturers, and governments in making informed decisions regarding cultivation practices, crops, irrigation, climate, and soil, while promoting precision and sustainable agriculture through innovative solutions.

A commercial digital tool is software, or an application developed and marketed for business or monetary purposes, providing specific functionalities or solutions to meet commercial needs. In September 2022, Syngenta introduced Nema Digital, a pioneering commercial digital tool harnessing satellite imagery to detect harmful nematodes. This innovation aids in swift field management adjustments, integrating seamlessly with the Cropwise platform for user-friendly decision-making, enhancing crop quality, and contributing to sustainability in digital agriculture.

In June 2022, BASF SE, a chemical company based in Germany, acquired Horta for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to strengthen BASF's portfolio of digital farming solutions by utilizing Horta's innovative agronomic decision support systems. Horta is an Italy-based company that specializes in providing digital farming solutions.
