The global Smart Crop Monitoring Market was valued at $1.92 billion in 2021, which is expected to grow with a CAGR of 12.75% and reach $3.95 billion by 2027. The growth in the global smart crop monitoring market is expected to be driven by increasing demand for food and the growing need for precision, digital, and smart agriculture practices.
Market Lifecycle Stage
The smart crop monitoring market is still in an evolving phase. Increased research and development activities are underway to develop smart crop monitoring technologies and products, which are expected to increase due to the increased demand for food and the need for automation in the agriculture sector.
Increasing investment in smart agriculture is one of the major opportunities in the global smart crop monitoring market. Moreover, smart crop monitoring technologies also help in reducing crop losses due to crop diseases and harsh climatic conditions, which aid the farmers in increasing crop quality and quantity.
Impact
• With an increased worldwide focus on achieving the global food demand, the shift to digital, smart, and data-driven products in the agriculture sectors brings significant sales and financing opportunities. The shift is more prominent in automation and robotics segments in regions such as North America and Europe.
• Furthermore, smart crop monitoring has a moderate to high impact on crop protection systems to reduce crop losses due to crop diseases and pest infestations.
Impact of COVID-19
In the wake of the pandemic, labor shortages have caused disruptions in the agricultural processes, thereby leading every country to re-emphasize food security and increase domestic food production. With an aim to solve labor shortages, the increased application of automated technologies such as sensors, data analytics, variable-rate technology, and others have been introduced in the production system. Each country continued to promote policies on increasing the adoption of smart crop monitoring techniques, which have proved to be the appropriate solution.
