DUBLIN, June 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The “Global Smart Crop Scouting and Smart Spraying Market Report: Focus on Product, Application, Operational Analysis, and Country – Analysis Forecast Period, 2023-2028” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global smart crop scouting and smart spraying market was valued at $3.47 billion in 2022, which is expected to grow with a CAGR of 18.78% and reach $9.86 billion by 2028.
This growth is primarily driven by the agricultural industry’s growing emphasis on achieving higher crop yields while minimizing input costs. Smart crop scouting and smart spraying technologies offer precise and targeted approaches for pest and disease management, optimized nutrient application, and effective weed control.
By enabling farmers to make data-driven decisions, enhance operational efficiency, reduce resource wastage, and mitigate environmental impact, these technologies are poised to fuel the expansion of the global smart crop scouting and smart spraying market in the coming years.
Market Introduction
Smart crop scouting and smart spraying are innovative agricultural practices that leverage advanced technologies to enhance crop management and protection. Smart crop scouting utilizes drones, sensors, and imaging systems to collect real-time data on crop health, pest presence, and field conditions, enabling precise decision-making for irrigation, fertilization, and pest control.
On the other hand, smart spraying integrates sensors, AI, and data analytics to optimize pesticide application, considering factors like crop health, weather, and pest presence. These technologies minimize resource wastage, reduce environmental impact, and maximize crop yield, leading to more efficient and sustainable farming practices.
Demand – Drivers and Limitations
Market Demand Drivers: Global Smart Crop Scouting and Smart Spraying Market
Need for Higher Production at Limited Resources
With the increasing global population and limited availability of arable land, there is a growing need to maximize agricultural productivity. Smart crop scouting and smart spraying technologies enable farmers to optimize crop yield by providing real-time data on crop health, nutrient levels, and pest infestations. This allows for targeted and efficient use of resources, resulting in higher production.
Labor Shortage
The migration of the population toward urban areas has resulted in a shortage of labor for agricultural activities. Smart crop scouting and smart spraying technologies help mitigate this challenge by automating tasks such as crop monitoring, weed detection, and pest management. By reducing the dependence on manual labor, these technologies enable farmers to overcome labor shortages and improve operational efficiency.
Increased Focus on Sustainable Agriculture
There is a growing global focus on sustainable agricultural practices to minimize environmental impact and conserve resources. Smart crop scouting and smart spraying technologies support sustainable agriculture by enabling precise and targeted application of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. This reduces chemical usage, minimizes environmental pollution, and promotes eco-friendly farming practices.
Growing Demand for Organic and Non-GMO Crops
The consumer demand for organic and non-genetically modified organism (GMO) crops is on the rise. Smart crop scouting and smart spraying technologies play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and integrity of organic and non-GMO crops by enabling early detection of pests, diseases, and weed infestations. This facilitates timely intervention and supports the production of high-quality, pesticide-free crops to meet market demand.
