The smart spraying technology market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $4.33 billion in 2023 to $5.2 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.1%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to factors such as the adoption of precision agriculture practices, the necessity for resource optimization in farming, the use of data analytics for crop management, goals related to environmental sustainability, and government initiatives and regulations supporting these advancements in agriculture.

The smart spraying technology market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.95 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the integration of smart spraying technology with farm management systems, the increasing global population and demand for food, adaptation to climate change, enhanced connectivity, and integration with the Internet of Things (IoT). Additionally, global sustainability initiatives are expected to drive the adoption of advanced spraying technologies in agriculture. Major trends expected in the forecast period include technological advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, progress in sensor technologies, increased integration of AI, a focus on sustainable agriculture practices, and enhanced connectivity and IoT integration in the agricultural sector.

The growth of the smart spraying technology market is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for precision farming. Precision farming, also known as precision agriculture, utilizes technology and data-driven methods to optimize agricultural production by precisely controlling inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and water based on specific field needs. Smart spraying technology plays a crucial role in precision farming, enabling the accurate and targeted application of pesticides and herbicides using real-time data and field conditions. In June 2023, Caffini S.p.A., an Italy-based agricultural technology company, reported a significant 31% growth rate in the adoption of Agriculture 4 in Italy in 2022. Additionally, the use of smart farming technologies in cultivated areas increased from 6% in 2021 to 8% in 2022, indicating a rising trend. Therefore, the increasing demand for precision farming is expected to fuel the growth of the smart spraying technology market.

The expansion of commercial agriculture is anticipated to contribute to the growth of the smart spraying technology market. Commercial agriculture involves large-scale production of crops and livestock for profit. The adoption of smart spraying technology in commercial agriculture aims to optimize the application of pesticides and herbicides through data-driven insights and precision technology. This approach helps target specific areas, reduce chemical usage, minimize environmental impact, and enhance overall crop yield and quality. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), in 2021, the agriculture, food, and related industries contributed approximately $1.264 trillion to the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), representing a 5.4 percent share. Moreover, commercial farms received an average of $66,314 in government payments in 2021. Therefore, the increasing prominence of commercial agriculture is expected to be a driving factor for the growth of the smart spraying technology market.

The growth of the smart spraying technology market is anticipated to face limitations due to low network coverage in rural areas. Smart spraying systems rely on seamless real-time data transmission between spraying equipment, sensors, and cloud platforms for effective analysis and decision-making. Insufficient network coverage disrupts this communication flow, resulting in delays, errors, and the potential for missed or over-sprayed areas. A November 2021 report by the International Telecommunication Union revealed that around 30% of Africa's rural population lacked internet access, with 18% lacking any mobile network service and an additional 11% having only 2G coverage. Consequently, the constraint of low network coverage in rural regions is impeding the expansion of the smart spraying technology market.

Leading companies in the smart spraying technology market are actively developing advanced solutions, such as artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled spraying systems, to deliver precise and real-time analysis of crop conditions and optimize the application of pesticides and herbicides. An AI-enabled spraying system employs machine learning algorithms and sensor data to intelligently and autonomously adjust the application of agricultural chemicals during crop spraying operations. For example, in October 2021, Greeneye Technology, an Israel-based company, introduced AI-enabled precision spraying technology, demonstrating a substantial reduction in herbicide usage by up to 78% compared to traditional broadcast spraying methods. This innovative system enhances weed control efficacy by utilizing AI to detect and precisely target weeds within the crop, minimizing herbicide costs and maintaining the health of nearby crops.

In November 2021, Kubota Corporation, a Japanese agricultural equipment manufacturer, completed the acquisition of Pulverizadores Fede for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move aims to bolster Kubota Corporation's presence and capabilities in the specialty crop market. The acquisition further aims to strengthen the compatibility between tractors and implements, expand the lineup of implements for specialty crops, and contribute to reducing environmental impact and fuel consumption. Pulverizadores Fede, based in Spain, specializes in the manufacturing of sprayers and smart spraying technology.
