Agricultural Sensors Market

Sensors used in smart farming are known as agriculture sensors. These sensors provide data that assist farmers in monitoring and optimizing crops by adapting to changes in environmental conditions. By positioning sensors, farmers can examine crop health at a micro scale, sustain resources, and reduce harsh environmental impact. The smart sensing technology enables farmers to remotely monitor their fields' pest population on a real-time basis. This helps them take immediate action to protect their crops, utilizing online cloud services and a dashboard.

With a better adoption of alternative farming techniques, countries with low agricultural production due to climatic conditions and low arable land can reinvent their agricultural sector. This would help the countries diversify and limit their vegetable and fruit imports. The global agricultural sensors market is expected to grow more in the coming years with increased emphasis on alternative and vertical farming and increased government initiatives worldwide for uplifting the global agricultural industry.

Market Segmentation

Global Agricultural Sensors Market by Application

The global agricultural sensors market in the application segment is expected to be dominated by soil management. This scenario is majorly attributed to the fact that soil is the prime part of the crop plantation process. Followed by soil management is water management, which accounts for the second-highest share in the concerned market. Water management forms the second most important step in the growth process. Timely irrigation and monitoring of the water and moisture content is necessary for the crops' healthy growth, so water management is likely to propel the application of related sensors.

Global Agricultural Sensors Market by Product

The global agricultural sensors market in the product segment is expected to be dominated by electrochemical sensors. These sensors have the highest demand as they help monitor and evaluate critical applications, including soil and water management. These sensors are likely to witness significant growth in the future years on account of the increasing demand for food production.

Global Agricultural Sensors Market by Region

North America was estimated to hold the highest share of about 24% in 2020, thereby accounting for a value of $1,003.9 million. The highest contributing country in the North America agricultural sensors market is the U.S. due to the prevalence of advanced technology and its implications in the farming sector to increase production. Also, North America is characterized as a tech-savvy region wherein every industry, including agriculture, is actively adopting smart technologies to achieve sustainable and efficient production.
