The agritech market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $27.12 billion in 2023 to $30.63 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the Green Revolution, advancements in agricultural machinery, the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the adoption of precision agriculture techniques.

The agritech market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $48.01 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several key factors, including the digital transformation in agriculture, the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices, innovations in biotechnology, and the increasing prevalence of agricultural robotics and automation. Major trends expected during this period include the rise of digital farming and precision agriculture methods, the emergence of vertical farming and indoor agriculture solutions, the promotion of sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices, the implementation of gro-blockchain technology for enhanced supply chain transparency, and the integration of robotics and automation into agricultural processes.

The increasing demand for food is poised to drive the growth of the agritech market in the foreseeable future. Food, essential for growth and health, is derived from plants or animals and serves vital physiological functions. This demand surge stems from population growth, urbanization trends, and evolving dietary preferences. Agricultural technology (agritech) plays a pivotal role in food production, aiming to enhance efficiency, productivity, and sustainability in farming practices to meet the escalating global food demand. For instance, data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates a substantial increase in average household spending on food in 2021 and 2022, driven by elevated spending on meals away from home and food at home. Additionally, organic food sales in the United States reached record levels in 2021, experiencing a significant surge of 12.4% to $61.9 billion, as reported by the Organic Trade Association. Consequently, the burgeoning food demand emerges as a primary catalyst propelling the growth trajectory of the agritech market.

Leading entities within the agritech market are focusing on developing innovative technologies to address agricultural challenges effectively. One such advancement is the Starskii and Cart Climate-Adapted Release Technology (CART), designed to enhance biocontrol in agriculture, specifically targeting thrips and whitefly infestations across various crops and environments. This technology leverages methods or strategies to introduce organisms adapted to thrive in changing climate conditions, a critical aspect of agricultural and environmental management. For instance, Bioline Agroscience, a UK-based agritech company specializing in biological control products, launched the Starskii and CART technology in March 2021. This solution utilizes Amblyseius swirskii to effectively manage thrips and whiteflies in diverse agricultural settings. Combining the adaptability of Amblyseius swirskii with a novel release system under CART technology ensures optimal pest control while prioritizing environmental sustainability. Moreover, the technology offers features such as optimized control, adaptability, high fidelity, and eco-friendliness, presenting growers with a valuable and sustainable solution for pest management in agriculture.
