The smart crop monitoring market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.47 billion in 2024 to $4.1 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for high crop production, increasing global population, significant growth in IOT technology, rising need for sustainable agricultural practices, and increasing regulatory pressures.

The smart crop monitoring market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.97 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the development of automated irrigation systems, the growing trend of farm-to-table movements, an increase in agricultural cooperatives and partnerships, a rising focus on reducing waste in the supply chain, and a significant growth in real-time weather forecasting. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, controlled environment agriculture, regenerative agriculture, soil condition monitoring, and connectivity technologies.

The growing demand for food is expected to drive the expansion of the smart crop monitoring market in the future. This rising demand is driven by the increasing global population and higher incomes, which lead to greater consumption of diverse food products. Smart crop monitoring enhances food production efficiency by providing real-time data on crop health, soil conditions, weather patterns, and resource usage. This enables farmers to make informed decisions regarding irrigation, fertilization, and pest control, optimizing yields, reducing resource waste, and improving food quality. For example, a report from the United States Department of Agriculture published in April 2024 indicates that agriculture, food, and related industries contributed approximately $1.53 trillion to the U.S. GDP in 2023, accounting for about 5.6% of the total, with U.S. farms contributing $203.5 billion, or roughly 0.7% of GDP. Thus, the increasing food demand is propelling growth in the smart crop monitoring market.

Leading companies in the smart crop monitoring market are focusing on technological advancements, such as AI-powered sensing technologies, to gain a competitive edge. These technologies combine artificial intelligence with advanced sensors to detect, analyze, and interpret environmental data in real time. For instance, in April 2023, GeoPard Agriculture, a Germany-based climate data and analytics firm, launched a cutting-edge analytics platform designed for farmers and dealers using John Deere technology. The platform features field mapping, variable rate application (VRA) maps, scouting tools, and data integration capabilities, helping farmers optimize operations and make data-driven decisions to enhance productivity and profitability. GeoPard’s platform complements the myjohndeere operations center with yield, soil, topography, and satellite imagery analytics for a comprehensive view of farming operations.

In January 2023, Cropx Technologies, an Israel-based digital agriculture company, acquired Tule Technologies for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows CropX to provide a more comprehensive agronomic management solution, combining soil and crop data to offer insights and recommendations on irrigation, disease control, and nutrient management. Tule Technologies, a U.S.-based precision irrigation company, specializes in smart farm monitoring solutions with a focus on irrigation management.
