Connected Agriculture Market Report 2026

The connected agriculture market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.09 billion in 2025 to $4.77 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing digitization of agricultural operations, rising adoption of precision farming practices, expansion of commercial farming activities, growing availability of rural connectivity, increasing demand for farm productivity optimization.

The connected agriculture market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.62 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in connected farming infrastructure, rising adoption of ai-based agricultural analytics, growing focus on sustainable resource utilization, expansion of smart logistics in agriculture, increasing use of integrated farm management platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of iot-enabled farm monitoring solutions, rising adoption of data-driven crop management platforms, growing integration of smart irrigation systems, expansion of centralized farm data analytics, enhanced focus on real-time farm decision support.

Increasing demand for crops is expected to propel the growth of the connected agriculture market going forward. Crops, in agriculture, refer to a plant or plant product that can be widely cultivated and harvested for income or dietary needs. Connected agriculture helps boost crop yields from existing land by tracking, evaluating, controlling, and ultimately enhancing crucial agricultural processes at all points in the farming cycle. For instance, in January 2025, according to the Department of Agriculture, a US-based federal agency, U.S. soybean production reached 4.37 billion bushels in 2024, an increase of about 5% compared to 2023. Therefore, rising crop demand is expected to drive the growth of the connected agriculture market.

Major companies operating in the connected agriculture market are focusing on developing generative AI-powered agronomy engines to meet the rising demand for real-time field analytics, yield optimization, resource efficiency, and sustainable farming practices. A generative AI agronomy engine is a software system that integrates multiple data modalities (such as images, weather data, soil sensor readings, machinery telemetry, and agronomic research) and uses machine-learning or AI models to generate field-specific insights and actionable recommendations. For instance, in July 2024, Taranis, a US-based ag-tech company, launched Ag Assistant, an advanced generative AI agronomy engine that processes leaf-level imagery along with weather, machinery, and research data inputs to produce field-specific advisory reports. It utilizes a neural model trained on more than 500 million leaf-level data points combined with diverse agronomic datasets. It enables agronomists and growers to quickly detect issues such as weeds, pests, and nutrient deficiencies, and obtain precise management recommendations within hours. The platform supports both in-season monitoring and postseason analysis, enhancing overall crop planning. By integrating scouting, input management, and yield planning, it enables agronomic service providers to deliver consistent, high-quality insights across extensive farmland.

In November 2023, AGCO Corporation, a US-based provider of agricultural equipment and technology solutions, acquired digital assets from FarmFacts GmbH for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, AGCO aims to enhance its FMIS offering and software development capabilities to better support farmers’ data management needs, strengthening precision agriculture and connected farming technologies. FarmFacts GmbH is a Germany-based provider of connected agriculture solutions.

North America was the largest region in the connected agriculture market in 2025. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in the connected agriculture market report are Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa. The countries covered in the connected agriculture market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.

Tariffs are influencing the connected agriculture market by increasing costs of imported sensors, connectivity modules, edge devices, and agricultural monitoring hardware used across smart farming solutions. Farming regions in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported IoT components, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on connected device manufacturing and exports. These tariffs are raising implementation costs and slowing technology adoption for small farmers. However, they are also encouraging domestic production of agricultural IoT hardware, regional platform development, and localized service ecosystems that support long-term connected agriculture growth.

Connected agriculture involves the utilization of digital technologies and the Internet in agriculture. It comprises software that facilitates the setup, control, and monitoring of Internet of Things (IoT) devices employed in farming operations. This technology assists in coordinating automated processes and collecting farm data, which is then analyzed by a centralized system to provide alerts about potential threats or guidance for farmers.

The primary components of connected agriculture include solutions, platforms, and services. Solutions encompass various technologies distributed via the internet or the cloud, enabling farmers and agricultural experts to enhance crop yields and quality, automate repetitive tasks, and generate valuable data across the organization. Platforms consist of device management, application enablement, and connectivity management, supporting applications such as farm planning and management, smart logistics, agriculture finance, and smart irrigation.
