Global Crop Monitoring Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global crop monitoring market size is expected to reach 3.73 billion in 2024 and reach USD 7.03 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 13.5% from 2024 and 2029.

The crop monitoring means the regular and careful inspection of the crops throughout the growing season. During crop monitoring, a farmer walks through the farm in order to monitor problems related to the crops, but with advanced and digitalized agriculture, there are various technologies through which farmers can monitor their crops and solve problems to be solved in real time. The crop monitoring technology helps farmers monitor and manage multiple fields with less cost, reduces labor costs, and makes reliable decisions.  As the crops ripen, they are prone to various diseases, pest infestations, and environmental conditions that can cause harm to the crops. By using crop monitoring technologies, growers can collect data about the state of the crop, such as temperature, humidity, and health indicators, and take correct measures on time. Corp monitoring solutions are available using different technologies such as Sensing & Imagery, VRT, and Automation & Robotics. Owing to the several benefits of crop monitoring technologies in agriculture, it is driving the growth of the global crop monitoring market during the projected period between 2024 and 2029.

MARKET DRIVERS

The driving force of the crop monitoring market is the increasing adoption of digitalized solutions in order to increase crop productivity as well as crop protection from pests. The rising awareness regarding benefits of the crop monitoring solutions is driving the growth of this market in developing countries.

The increasing adoption of IoT and Artificial Intelligence devices for crop monitoring is one of the key driving factors for the growth of this market. Also, the miniaturization and improved accuracy of the global navigation satellite system make possible for wide-scale adoption of the precision farming technologies for geo-positioning as well as field mapping.

Additionally, the rising concern over food and security for the growing population is another factor driving the growth of the market, and also the increasing investment by the governments of several nations towards the digitalization of agriculture propels the growth of the market. Moreover, the increasing number of advanced technological solutions, such as drones, automation, and robotics, etc, for crop monitoring & scouting, field mapping, etc, is expected to fuel the growth of the crop monitoring market in the forecast period between 2024 and 2029.  

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The low penetration of advanced agricultural technologies in the developing countries is hampering the growth of the market. Several barriers are present in developing countries related to the adoption of the advanced technologies such as unskilled farmers, a less techno savvy and family owned farming model as well as low awareness of advanced agriculture among farmers is restraining the growth of the market.

Covid-19 Impact On Global Crop Monitoring Market

COVID-19 has impacted the crop monitoring market for a short period, particularly in the initial phase of the COVID due to lockdowns around the world. The strict lockdown was imposed, which has led to a partial or complete shutdown of the industries, which in turn disrupted the supply chains and the manufacturing of the crop monitoring solution. New projects have stalled throughout the world, which, in turn, has led to a decline in demand for crop monitoring solutions. However, with the recovery activities of the industries, the demand for crop monitoring solutions will increase as the agricultural sector has struggled a lot due to the labor crisis. Therefore, the demand for automation & robotics crop monitoring solutions will increase, which will drive the growth of the market in the projected period.
