“The increasing focus on farm efficiency and productivity and adoption of new technologies in farming drive the growth of the precision farming market”
The precision farming market is expected to grow from USD 3.20 billion in 2015 and is expected to reach USD 7.87 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 13.47% between 2016 and 2022. Precision farming involves technology-driven information analysis of data acquired from the field and application of input as per the data analysis for increasing crop productivity. Precision farming has revolutionized the method employed previously in agriculture. Precision farming is going to be the modern way of agriculture that people across the world would adopt. The major restraining factor for the precision farming market is the high initial investment and the lack of technical awareness among farmers.
“Yield monitoring application held the largest share of the precision farming market in 2015”
Yield monitoring is the most widely used application in precision farming as it plays a vital role in understanding field variability and helps farmers in maximizing their yields. Soil monitoring is the major application of yield monitoring. Soil monitoring is used to detect soil parameters that are needed for an efficient yield production.
