Internet of Things (IoT) in Agriculture Market Report 2025

The internet of things (IoT) in agriculture market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $14.87 billion in 2024 to $16.29 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to data analytics for decision support, integration of autonomous machinery, crop monitoring solutions, livestock monitoring and welfare, water management solutions.

The internet of things (IoT) in agriculture market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.46 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to government initiatives and funding, integration of AI and machine learning, data-driven decision making, rise in demand for smart farming solutions, focus on sustainability and resource management. Major trends in the forecast period include precision agriculture adoption, rising demand for smart farming, climate change resilience, water management solutions, livestock monitoring and welfare.

The growing demand for food is playing a significant role in driving the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) within the agriculture market. Food demand refers to consumers' desire to purchase food products, gauged by levels of demand and consumption. The implementation of IoT in agriculture enhances productivity by tracking various data related to farming, including weather conditions, soil quality, livestock health, and crop growth progress. This allows farmers to minimize the risk of production losses by identifying anomalies in crop development or animal health. As a result of these advantages, the demand for IoT solutions in agriculture is increasing. For example, in August 2024, the Department for Environmental Food and Rural Affairs, a UK government department, reported that the agri-food chain contributed $188.64 billion (£147.8 billion), or 6.5%, to the national gross value added in 2022. The gross value added by the food chain (excluding agriculture and fishing) was $169.62 billion (£132.9 billion), reflecting a 15.4% rise from the previous year. Consequently, the growing food demand is driving the adoption of IoT in the agriculture sector.

The escalating impacts of climate change are expected to further boost the growth of IoT in the agriculture market in the coming years. Climate change refers to long-term shifts in average weather patterns that have historically been observed in specific regions or globally. The use of IoT in agriculture is vital for mitigating and adapting to the effects of climate change, providing farmers with actionable data, insights, and tools for more resilient and sustainable farming practices. For instance, in October 2023, a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, indicated that around 3.6 billion people live in areas highly susceptible to the effects of climate change as of 2023. It is projected that between 2030 and 2050, climate change could result in an estimated annual increase of approximately 250,000 deaths due to factors like undernutrition, malaria, diarrhea, and heat stress. Therefore, the rising effects of climate change are propelling the growth of IoT in the agriculture market.

Technological advancements are a significant trend gaining traction in the Internet of Things (IoT) within the agriculture market. Leading companies in this sector are focusing on integrating new technologies into precision farming and expanding the applications of IoT in agricultural practices. For example, in February 2024, Spacecom, an Israel-based telecommunications firm, introduced its Satellite IoT-as-a-Service to transform digital agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa, with an emphasis on precision farming. This initiative is a collaboration with Ayecka and leverages Spacecom's AMOS GEO satellites along with Ayecka's AR-1100 satellite terminals, offering a comprehensive off-grid solution for efficient IoT services in rural areas.

Companies in the IoT agriculture market are developing innovative products, such as fertilizer technologies, to expand their customer bases, increase sales, and boost revenue. Fertilizer technology encompasses the scientific and engineering advancements related to the creation, production, and application of fertilizers. For instance, in October 2023, Enfarm Agritech, a Singapore-based agricultural technology firm, launched smart fertilizer. The key feature of Enfarm Agritech's smart fertilizer is its potential to reduce farmers' fertilizer costs and enhance yields by up to 20 percent. This technology uses sensors and IoT to continuously monitor soil conditions, accurately assessing the optimal amount of fertilizer needed for coffee plantations. Moreover, it offers precise irrigation recommendations based on specific soil types, integrates weather data, provides price forecasting insights, diagnoses pest and disease issues, and employs artificial intelligence to respond to farmers' inquiries.

In July 2023, CultYvate, an agriculture company based in India, partnered with Dhiway to transform agriculture through innovative blockchain-backed IoT integration. This collaboration aims to enhance the agricultural supply chain by utilizing blockchain technology for improved traceability, data management, and security. Dhiway, also based in India, specializes in supply chain traceability and seeks to create a secure and transparent digital identity for products across various sectors.
