Imaging Technology for Precision Agriculture Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Product (Sensors, Software, Cameras and Other Products), Technology (Hyperspectral technology and Multispectral technology), Application(Crop Scouting, Field Mapping, Inventory Management, Irrigation Management, Weather Tracking & Forecasting and Yield Monitoring) and by Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Imaging Technology for Precision Agriculture Market is accounted for $1,034.73 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $1,965.63 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period. Imaging Technology for Precision agriculture (PA) is an agricultural management idea built on monitoring, quantifying, and reacting to crop variability both within and between fields. Precision agriculture is the process of making crop management decisions using real-time data for agricultural characteristics including soil quality, chemical composition, air quality, moisture content, etc. There are many technologies accessible, including the global positioning system, unmanned aerial vehicles, variable rate technology, guidance technology, and mapping technology.

According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, to meet the demand of rapidly growing world population, food production must rise by 60% by the end of 2050 for which precision agriculture can assist in this situation.

Market Dynamics

Driver

High demand in image technology and reduce in cost

Precision farming with reduced costs, enhanced data accuracy, and simplicity of use are driving the market growth. Additionally, there are several uses for imaging systems in precision farming, including monitoring of animals, crop health, environmental impact assessment, irrigation equipment monitoring, identification of weeds and pests, and variable rate fertility. The demand for image technology in precision farming is expected to increase in the near future.

Restraint

Lack of internet and standardization

Particularly in isolated or rural regions, precision agriculture depends on dependable connectivity and a strong infrastructure. The transmission and processing of real-time data may be hampered in some areas, though, by a lack of effective internet connectivity. Imaging technology's uptake and efficacy can be constrained by a lack of infrastructure, particularly for farmers operating in sparsely networked regions. However, data formats, interoperability, and system compatibility are not standardized and this inhibits the use of various systems. This lack of standardization might make it difficult to combine various technologies or share data across platforms, impeding easy data sharing and cooperation.

Opportunity

Government support and new education programmes

Governments all across the world are becoming aware of precision agriculture's potential to address issues with food security, lessen its negative effects on the environment, and increase farm profitability. They are putting policies into place, offering financial incentives, and boosting technological use in agriculture as a result. Farmers are encouraged to embrace imaging technologies and make investments in precision agriculture methods through such support and legislation and are becoming more and more aware of the advantages of imaging technologies and precision agriculture. Additionally, education-related programs, business gatherings, and demonstration projects are promoting and displaying the advantages of these technologies.

Threat

Low financial resources and high costs

Precision agricultural imaging technology implementation sometimes entails high initial expenses. The cost of purchasing tools like drones, sensors, and imaging equipment can be high. There can also be expenses for software, training, and data management systems. Smaller farmers or those with low financial resources may find it difficult to get started because of these hefty initial costs. Specialized knowledge may be necessary for the interpretation of imaging data, sensor calibration, data integration, and result analysis.

Covid-19 Impact

The farms were understaffed as a result of the lockdown. The farmers are finding it difficult to carry out plantation activities as a result of the labor scarcity. Additionally, there is a dearth of transportation equipment like trucks and trains. Farmers may have trouble comprehending and using the technology successfully, especially if they don't have access to technical assistance or training. The COVID-19 pandemic is anticipated to impede market expansion due to the aforementioned issues.

The camera segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The imaging technology for precision agriculture has a sizable camera section. Cameras are essential for gathering visual information and imagery for a variety of agricultural applications. Some of the cameras like aerial vehicles fly above the fields and take pictures and videos in high definition, which can provide important details about the health of the crops, the density of the plants, weed infestations, and other factors. These cameras make it possible to efficiently and swiftly monitor vast areas.

The field mapping segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Field mapping segment is expected to witness lucrative growth throughout the projected time frame. Making accurate and detailed maps or representations of agricultural fields while collecting diverse spatial and non-spatial data is known as field mapping. Moreover, farmers can construct prescription maps that direct the precise use of inputs by mapping the characteristics and variations of their fields. By ensuring that resources are allocated as efficiently as possible, VRA mapping increases productivity and decreases waste in agricultural operations.

Region with largest share

During the forecast period, Asia Pacific is anticipated to report extremely rapid revenue growth. The demand for imaging technologies for precision agriculture in the region is driven by the growing requirement to feed a population that is expanding quickly. The region is adopting imaging systems, GIS-based soil analysis, climate prediction, water asset information, and mobile-based farming technologies at a faster rate due to the growing need to boost farm productivity and agricultural yield. The agricultural sector in the region is using imaging systems more frequently as a result of the growing use of digital imaging to assess crop health, particularly fungus infection.

Region with highest CAGR

North America is expected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The market for imaging technology for precision agriculture in the area is expanding as a result of the growing usage of advanced imaging technologies in the agricultural sector. The need for imaging systems in the agricultural sector is increasing as a result of the high cost of labor in agriculture and the reduction in the agricultural workforce in the region's countries.

Key players in the market

Some of the key players in Imaging Technology For Precision Agriculture market include 4D Technologies, Bayspec, MicaSense, Pixelteq, Quest-InnovationsBV, Resonon, Sentek Technologies, Teledyne DALSA, Tetracam and XIMEA
