Market expansion is driven by rising awareness of environmental protection, sustainable land management, and the need to optimize agricultural productivity under increasing climate pressure. The industry is shifting away from conventional soil testing approaches that rely on infrequent, manual, and laboratory-dependent analysis. In their place, digitally enabled monitoring solutions are gaining momentum by delivering continuous and location-specific insights. Strategic consolidation across industry is accelerating innovation, expanding technology portfolios, and improving global market reach. Soil monitoring solutions now play a central role in modern agriculture by supporting data-driven decisions that improve yields while reducing environmental stress. These systems align well with food security objectives, regulatory sustainability goals, and increasing public and private investment in smart agriculture initiatives. As farmers and agribusinesses seek scalable and efficient crop management tools, soil monitoring continues to gain relevance as a core component of precision agriculture worldwide.
Modern soil monitoring systems provide accurate, real-time measurements of moisture levels, nutrient content, and soil chemistry, enabling precise application of water and fertilizers. This approach improves resource efficiency, lowers input costs, and reduces runoff that can harm surrounding ecosystems. The growing demand for higher agricultural output in North America, combined with expanding policy support for advanced farming practices in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, reinforces the commercial value of these technologies. Farmers and agronomists increasingly favor automated systems that replace labor-intensive sampling methods, supporting faster decision-making and improved crop outcomes.
In 2025, the in-situ sensors segment accounted for a 48.6% share and generated USD 456.3 million. This segment also recorded the highest growth rate with a CAGR of 6.1%. In-situ sensors are widely adopted because they deliver continuous, high-resolution data directly from the soil profile, supporting autonomous farm operations and minimizing human intervention. Their widespread use reflects the broader industry shift toward intelligent, connected agricultural technologies.
The open-field applications segment held a 62.3% share, generating USD 584.7 million in 2025. This segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2026 to 2035. The dominance of open-field monitoring is linked to the vast scale of global crop cultivation and the increasing adoption of precision farming practices in large agricultural operations, where real-time soil insights significantly enhance productivity and efficiency.
North America Soil Monitoring Market reached USD 308.5 million in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% through 2035.
