The increasing environmental concerns are anticipated to drive the growth of the agriculture and forestry services market in the future. Environmental concerns encompass issues such as climate change, pollution, soil degradation, water and air quality deterioration, greenhouse gas accumulation, and declining soil fertility. Agriculture and forestry services assist farmers in adopting sustainable farming practices that minimize their impact on the environment by offering solutions to address climate change, manage soil fertility, and optimize the use of water, pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides. For instance, in September 2024, the European Court of Auditors, a government agency based in Luxembourg, reported that the European Commission aims for 25% of the EU's agricultural land to be cultivated organically by 2030, a significant increase from 10.5% in 2022. Thus, the rise in environmental concerns is fueling the growth of the agriculture and forestry services market moving forward.

Major companies in the agriculture and forestry services sector are concentrating on integrating artificial intelligence to enhance customer service and maintain their competitive edge in the market. The integration of artificial intelligence in agriculture and forestry services involves the use of advanced technologies to optimize decision-making, improve efficiency, and promote sustainability throughout the entire cultivation and forestry management ecosystem. For example, in July 2024, Google, a US-based technology firm, introduced the Agricultural Landscape Understanding (ALU) Tool for India to provide comprehensive agricultural insights. The ALU tool utilizes high-resolution satellite imagery to gather detailed information about agricultural landscapes, allowing for accurate detection of field boundaries and monitoring. It employs machine learning algorithms, and the API analyzes various agricultural data points to deliver actionable insights customized for individual fields, addressing specific needs and challenges. The system provides detailed information, including crop type, field size, distance to water sources, and proximity to markets, which is crucial for effective irrigation planning and drought management.

In September 2025, New Forests, an Australia-based investment management firm specializing in nature-based real assets and natural capital strategies, acquired Rance Timber for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, New Forests aims to expand its forestry presence in Sub-Saharan Africa and gain access to an established timber products value chain in South Africa.

Tariffs are influencing the agriculture and forestry services market by raising costs for imported machinery, timber products, and processing equipment, creating price fluctuations and slowing down cross-border forestry operations. Regions heavily involved in timber trade such as North America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe experience heightened impacts, particularly in segments like timber production, wood technology, and forest management services. Nevertheless, tariffs can also stimulate domestic processing industries, encourage local sourcing of timber, and support regional reforestation and conservation initiatives that strengthen long-term sector resilience.
