Soil Monitoring Market Report 2026

The soil monitoring market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.67 billion in 2025 to $0.76 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to traditional manual soil assessment methods, limited access to real-time soil data, rising need to improve crop yield, early adoption of basic soil sensors, increasing awareness of soil degradation.

The soil monitoring market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.26 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for data-driven agricultural decisions, rising adoption of IoT-enabled soil monitoring tools, increasing integration of AI-based analysis platforms, expanding investment in precision agriculture technologies, rising emphasis on sustainable land management. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for continuous soil condition monitoring, rising adoption of onsite soil testing technologies, expansion of soil mapping for agricultural productivity, increasing focus on soil health in land management, growth in use of multi-parameter soil sensors.

The expanding agriculture sector is expected to drive the growth of the soil monitoring market going forward. The agriculture sector encompasses the production, processing, and distribution of crops, livestock, and other agricultural products. This sector is growing due to the increasing adoption of modern farming technologies that enhance productivity and resource efficiency. Soil monitoring supports increased agricultural output by providing real-time data on soil conditions, enabling precise irrigation, fertilization, and crop health management. For example, in July 2025, according to the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, a UK-based government agency, the average farm business income (FBI) for dairy farms in England reached approximately £176,000 ($204,711) in 2024/25, up from £71,000 ($82,582.2) in 2023/24. Therefore, the growth of the agriculture sector is driving the soil monitoring market.

Leading companies in the soil monitoring market are focusing on creating innovative solutions, such as wireless soil sensor probes, to measure soil moisture and temperature. These probes monitor soil conditions like moisture, temperature, and salinity in real-time, transmitting data wirelessly to support precision agriculture. For example, in April 2024, GroGuru, Inc., a U.S.-based technology company specializing in water monitoring and management, introduced a fully integrated wireless soil sensor probe for continuous root zone monitoring of annual field crops. This probe offers features such as real-time data collection on soil moisture, temperature, and salinity, operating wirelessly for easy installation without the need for costly or time-consuming battery replacements. Its low-maintenance design ensures long-term use. This innovation aids precision irrigation, helping farmers optimize water use and improve crop yields by delivering actionable insights directly from the field.

In September 2025, Eurofins Agroscience Services (EAS), a UK-based provider of agrochemical testing, field studies, and regulatory support services, acquired Cawood Scientific’s Agroscience Research Division for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Eurofins aims to strengthen its global footprint and expand its field-trial and analytical-service capabilities across the UK and Europe. Cawood Scientific’s Agroscience Research Division is a UK-based provider of contract research, field trials, and analytical services for crop protection, including soil monitoring.

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 are impacting the soil monitoring market by increasing the cost of imported sensors, remote sensing equipment, and data logging devices that form the core of hardware-based monitoring systems. These higher costs particularly affect agriculture-driven regions in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific where reliance on foreign-manufactured soil monitoring technologies is significant, slowing adoption among smaller farms and environmental agencies. However, tariffs have encouraged local production and innovation in soil sensing and analysis technologies, promoting greater regional manufacturing capacity. Overall, tariffs are reshaping supply chains, influencing pricing structures, and accelerating domestic development across hardware, software, and service segments.
