The growth of the agriculture sensor market is expected to be driven by the increasing adoption of smart farming practices in the years to come. Agriculture sensors find extensive use in smart farming techniques, facilitating a range of on-field activities like weather forecasting, monitoring leaf wetness and trunk diameter, and the precise application of pesticides and insecticides. The notable advantages of these sensors over conventional technologies, including easy installation, cost-effectiveness, reduced environmental pollution, and remote control capabilities, have contributed to their widespread utilization in agricultural applications. A study conducted by the McKinsey Global Institute predicts that smart farming practices could generate economic benefits of up to $11 trillion globally by 2025, further underlining the accelerated adoption of smart farming practices within agricultural communities as a driving force for the agricultural sensor market's growth.

Major companies operating in the agriculture sensor market are prioritizing the development of innovative solutions such as automated soil sensor probes featuring advanced sensing technologies to support precision farming and enhance soil management practices. Automated soil sensor probes are intelligent agricultural tools equipped with advanced sensors that monitor critical soil attributes, including compaction, nutrient levels, organic matter, water storage, and carbon content, delivering high-resolution data to assist farmers in making informed decisions. For instance, in July 2024, Veris Technologies, a US-based producer of sensors and controls for precision agriculture, introduced the CoreScan automated soil sensor probe. This advanced probe provides comprehensive insights into soil conditions by creating high-definition soil maps, enabling farmers to detect underlying yield constraints and improve soil health management. This launch represents a major step forward in smart farming technology, promoting more sustainable and data-driven agricultural practices globally.

In September 2024, CropX, an Israel-based provider of cloud-based farm management software solutions, acquired EnGeniousAg for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition will enable EnGeniousAg’s technology to offer substantial cost savings and operational efficiencies for farmers and agribusinesses using the CropX platform. By enabling simple and precise in-field nitrogen measurements combined with data-driven agronomic recommendations, CropX’s integrated system of sensors and analytics will introduce a powerful and practical approach to improving crop nitrogen use efficiency. EnGeniousAg is a US-based firm that specializes in nitrogen sensing technology.

Agricultural sensors play a vital role in smart farming by assisting farmers in optimizing and monitoring crops, enabling them to respond to dynamically changing environmental conditions. These sensors are instrumental in predicting and addressing challenges arising from global temperature changes that may render the environment unsuitable for crops. Precision agriculture, facilitated by agricultural sensors, offers a wide range of benefits, including weather forecasts, real-time farm tracking, and optimized field requirements.

The main types of agriculture sensors include humidity sensors, electrochemical sensors, mechanical sensors, optical sensors, pressure sensors, water sensors, soil sensors, and location sensors. Humidity sensors, for example, are utilized to measure the moisture and humidity ratio of land. There are four main types of humidity sensors such as conductive humidity sensors, thermal conductivity sensors, optic hygrometers, and oscillating hygrometers. These sensors find applications in various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, packaging, healthcare, electronics, and others. In agriculture, they are used for soil monitoring, yield mapping and monitoring, disease detection and control, weed mapping, and various other applications.North America was the largest region in the agriculture sensor market in 2025.
