The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing global population, demand for sustainable agriculture practices, government initiatives and subsidies, climate change and weather variability, globalization of agriculture markets, improving connectivity infrastructure.

The connected agriculture market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.64 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to focus on soil health monitoring, efforts to bridge the digital divide, focus on yield optimization, environmental conservation initiatives, smart irrigation systems. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of IoT technologies, precision farming practices, use of drones and UAVs, smart irrigation systems, farm management software, emergence of agri-tech startups, telematics in equipment monitoring.

Increasing demand for crops is expected to propel the growth of the connected agriculture market going forward. Crops, in agriculture, refer to a plant or plant product that can be widely cultivated and harvested for income or dietary needs. Connected agriculture helps boost crop yields from existing land by tracking, evaluating, controlling, and ultimately enhancing crucial agricultural processes at all points in the farming cycle. For instance, India sets the target for total food grain production at 328 million tons for the years 2022-23, compared to 316 million tons of total food grain production in 2021-22. Therefore, increasing demand for crops will drive the growth of the connected agriculture market.

The connected agriculture market is poised for growth, driven by the increasing demand for advanced farming solutions. This trend encompasses a spectrum of innovative technologies and practices aimed at enhancing the efficiency, sustainability, and productivity of agricultural operations. The synergy between advanced farming solutions and connected agriculture empowers farmers to achieve higher productivity, sustainability, and overall operational efficiency. Notably, in February 2023, Agtonomy, a US-based ag tech software company, unveiled its TeleFarmer Solution, allowing farmers to remotely execute labor-intensive field tasks like weeding, spraying, mowing, and transporting. This solution addresses labor shortages and rising costs, presenting a significant advancement in the connected agriculture sector.

Major players in the connected agriculture market are focused on launching next-generation solutions, such as agricultural robots, to deliver reliable services to customers. Agricultural robots are specifically designed for the agriculture industry, providing services such as harvesting, weed control, cloud seeding, seed planting, environmental monitoring, soil analysis, and livestock management to farmers, thereby enhancing overall production yields. For example, in May 2022, Solinftec, a Brazil-based ag-tech company, introduced Solix, an autonomous crop monitoring robot that operates plant-by-plant to optimize efficiency and productivity. This robot is intended to provide real-time insights into fields and functions as a connected agriculture platform. It is powered by solar energy and features lithium-ion batteries for energy storage. Solix is equipped with an onboard camera and sensors, along with artificial intelligence (AI) technology, to monitor plant health, identify insect damage, and detect changes in the field.

Major companies in the connected agriculture market are forming strategic collaborations to provide farmers with deeper insights into their cultivation practices, streamline connectivity, and facilitate easy integration with mixed-brand fleets. For example, in November 2022, Trimble Agriculture, a US-based provider of connected precision farming solutions, partnered with xFarm Technologies, an Italy-based startup focused on developing SaaS solutions for the digital transformation of agriculture, to assist farmers in improving farm management. Through this collaboration, Trimble aims to deliver additional valuable and efficient solutions to farmers by integrating with the xFarm smart farming app.

In May 2022, Trimble Inc., a US-based software company, acquired Bilberry for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Trimble to incorporate AI-driven weed control solutions, thereby enhancing smart farming initiatives, especially by minimizing herbicide usage through targeted applications. Bilberry is a France-based company that offers connected agriculture technology for spraying, utilizing artificial intelligence (AI).

Connected agriculture involves the utilization of digital technologies and the Internet in agriculture. It comprises software that facilitates the setup, control, and monitoring of Internet of Things (IoT) devices employed in farming operations. This technology assists in coordinating automated processes and collecting farm data, which is then analyzed by a centralized system to provide alerts about potential threats or guidance for farmers.

The primary components of connected agriculture include solutions, platforms, and services. Solutions encompass various technologies distributed via the internet or the cloud, enabling farmers and agricultural experts to enhance crop yields and quality, automate repetitive tasks, and generate valuable data across the organization. Platforms consist of device management, application enablement, and connectivity management, supporting applications such as farm planning and management, smart logistics, agriculture finance, and smart irrigation.
