Precision Agriculture Market Report 2026

The precision agriculture market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.37 billion in 2025 to $10.54 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in gps-based field mapping, growing reliance on remote sensing tools, early adoption of yield monitoring systems, increased need for farm resource optimization, adoption of basic automation in farm equipment.

The precision agriculture market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.72 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to demand for real-time farm data insights, growth in autonomous farm machinery deployment, rising adoption of variable-rate technology, increasing integration of ai-based farm analytics, expansion of cloud-enabled farm management platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of precision field monitoring, increasing use of data-driven agronomic decisions, expansion of automated irrigation and nutrient application, growing utilization of crop health and soil condition tracking, adoption of connected machinery to improve farm productivity.

The increasing demand for food is expected to drive the growth of the precision agriculture market in the coming years. Food, which provides nutritional support to organisms, is in higher demand due to factors such as population growth, economic development, and changing dietary habits. Precision agriculture assists farmers in addressing challenges like soil degradation, nutrient deficiencies, and pest outbreaks in real time. By utilizing data-driven insights, farmers can implement targeted interventions like soil amendments, crop rotation, or pest management strategies to improve crop resilience and reduce yield losses. For example, in October 2024, the World Bank Group, a US-based International Trade and Development organization, projected that the global population will reach 10 billion by 2050. This growth will require a 60% increase in food production to meet rising demand, all while facing the challenges of climate change. Therefore, the growing food demand is fueling the expansion of the precision agriculture market.

Key players in the precision agriculture market are focused on developing comprehensive precision agriculture platforms like Arc Farm Intelligence to offer digital farm management solutions. These platforms integrate various technologies and practices to optimize crop production by providing real-time data and insights to farmers. For instance, FMC India launched Arc Farm Intelligence in March 2024, aimed at supporting farmers in boosting productivity and promoting agricultural sustainability. This platform provides streamlined connectivity, efficient data organization, and relevant task management capabilities, fostering collaboration among advisors, farmers, and stakeholders. Additionally, FMC offers the platform and necessary field monitoring equipment at no cost to farmers, underscoring its commitment to ensuring access to advanced technologies for smallholder and historically underserved farmers.

In August 2023, Nordson Corporation, a US-based adhesive manufacturing company, acquired Allgemeine Rechtsschutz AG (ARAG) for $1.04 billion. This strategic acquisition is intended to expand Nordson's core dispense capabilities into the precision agriculture sector, aligning with the company's strategic focus on differentiated technologies and customer-centric approaches. ARAG, based in Germany, specializes in manufacturing sprayers and accessories for precision farming applications.

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.

Tariffs on electronic components, GPS modules, sensors, and unmanned aerial vehicle systems have increased production costs and delayed availability of key precision agriculture technologies, particularly affecting hardware-intensive segments such as drones, sensors, and automated machinery in import-dependent regions like Asia-Pacific and Latin America. These tariffs strain pricing structures and adoption rates across applications including yield monitoring, field mapping, and crop scouting. However, they also stimulate domestic manufacturing capabilities, promote localization of high-tech agricultural equipment, and encourage innovation in cost-efficient alternatives that partially offset long-term market disruptions.
