Agriculture Global Market Report 2025

The agriculture market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $12.12 trillion in 2024 to $12.97 trillion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to population growth, globalization of trade, government policies, crop protection products, climate and weather patterns, rural development programs.

The agriculture market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.76 trillion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing sustainable agriculture practices, genetic engineering in crops, organic farming, vertical farming, water management solutions global food security concerns. Major trends in the forecast period include precision agriculture technologies, integration of artificial intelligence in farming, digital marketplaces for agricultural products, utilization of autonomous farming equipment, adoption of farm management software.

The forecast of 6.6% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This may have a direct effect on the US by interrupting the flow of farm machinery from Italy and crop protection products from China, which could lead to reduced operational efficiency across American farms. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The global population is on the rise and is projected to reach 10 billion by 2050, creating an increased demand for food. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) predict a 13% growth in global cereal production by 2027 to meet the needs of the expanding population. This necessitates an augmentation of crop production, farming activities, and trade volumes. Agribusiness companies are anticipated to acquire more arable land to boost crop production and expand their activities to meet the growing demand, fostering overall growth in the agriculture sector.

The agriculture market is expected to experience growth due to shifting consumer preferences toward healthier and diverse diets. Healthier and diverse diets, characterized by nutrient-rich foods and a variety of choices, are gaining popularity. Diversification in agriculture has the potential to enhance the nutrient adequacy of diets, benefiting smallholder farming households. This shift in consumer preferences is driving increased demand for a broader range of crops, leading to market expansion. As per the 2022 Food and Health Survey by the International Food Information Council, 54% of Americans made changes to their diet to prioritize health, indicating a significant trend toward healthier eating habits.

Major players in the agriculture market are investing in technology, such as agriculture drones, to gather precise data on crop health, soil conditions, and pest infestations. Agriculture drones, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used in agriculture, aim to improve crop yields, reduce costs, and enhance efficiency. For example, XAG, a China-based drone service provider, launched the XAG P100 Pro in July 2023. This advanced drone, equipped with a large payload of 50 kilograms, operates autonomously and assists farmers in tasks such as seeding, crop spraying, and fertilization.

Agriculture is the practice of cultivating soil, growing crops, and raising animals for food, fiber, and various other products. It produces essential goods that support human life, drive economic growth, and provide livelihoods. Furthermore, agriculture is vital in maintaining ecosystem balance and promoting sustainability.

The primary types of agriculture include animal production, crop production, and rural activities. Crop production involves the cultivation of crops for both domestic and commercial purposes. Large-scale cultivation of crops such as wheat, maize, rice, jute, and others is common. Agricultural products can be categorized as organic or conventional, and their distribution occurs through various channels, including supermarkets/hypermarkets, convenience stores, e-commerce, and other retail channels.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and emerging trade disputes in spring 2025 are having a profound impact on the agriculture sector by driving up the costs of essential inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, and machinery components sourced from international markets. Higher duties on imported agrochemicals and farm equipment have substantially increased operational expenses for farmers. At the same time, retaliatory tariffs from key global buyers have reduced demand for major U.S. agricultural exports, including corn, wheat, and dairy, straining farm incomes. In response, many producers are exploring crop diversification, investing in precision agriculture to optimize resource use, and calling for government support through subsidies and improved trade access.
