Precision Agriculture Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Offering (Hardware, Software, Services), By Application (Yield Monitoring, Field Mapping, Crop Scouting, Others), and Region Forecast 2020-2031

Precision Agriculture Market size was valued at US$ 10,500 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 25,100 million by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of 11.2% from 2025-2031. Moreover, the U.S. Precision Agriculture Market is expected to grow significantly, reaching an estimated value of around US$ 9,800 million by 2031, driven by the increasing adoption of advanced farming technologies, strong focus on farm efficiency, and growing investment in smart agricultural solutions.

Precision farming is transforming the economics and ecology of agriculture by introducing intelligence into each step of the farming process. Unlike the antiquated intuition-based methods of human interventions, precision farming is data-driven, sensor-based soil expertise, drone-based aerial monitoring, and satellite-linked crop surveillance. These technologies allow farmers to respond to variability in real time, to water, feed, and spray where, how much, and when needed. The result is not merely increased productivity but reduced input costs, reduced environmental impact, and a more sustainable supply chain. With uncertainty in the weather increasing and land to till decreasing, precision agriculture is fast becoming an emerging luxury and is becoming increasingly a strategic imperative.

Facts & Figures

• Adoption of self-propelled farm equipment rose over 40% globally in 2024 because of labor shortages, cost-saving needs, and investment by OEMs into retrofittable guidance systems
• There are more than 65 million hectares of technology-enabled precision agriculture worldwide, with the most intensive coverage in North America, Western Europe, and increasingly India and Brazil.
• Sensor-based systems for irrigation and nutrient supply have achieved 20–30% input reduction without yield loss and enabled sustainable intensification in high- as well as low-resource settings.
• Agri-deal public-private clusters have multiplied three times since 2022 through university-start-up-firm partnerships to indigenize AI, drone, and data-driven solutions for varied agro-climatic conditions.

Key Developments:

• In February 2025, Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. opened a new dedicated subsidiary, Yamaha Agriculture, Inc., as it established AI-driven digital and autonomous solutions specifically designed for the specialty crop market with the aim to enhance grower resiliency amidst labor and climate stress.
• In February 2025, Topcon Corporation made a strategic alliance announcement with Bonsai Robotics in February 2025, combining vision-based autonomous guidance with Topcon's agri-sensor and steering solutions to fight labor-intensive practices in permanent crop farming.

Precision Agriculture Market Segmentation:

Based on the offering:

• Hardware
• Software
• Services

Hardware remains front and centre in precision agriculture, making it possible to collect field data in real-time and precision-based operations to be conducted. Sensors are arguably the most critical sub-segment within the various hardware modules. These include soil moisture sensors, weather stations, and crop health sensors which provide real-time, hyper-localized feedback in terms of field variability. By providing accurate information to decision supports, sensors allow farmers to control irrigation, fertilization, and pest management interventions. The development of low-power, rugged, and wireless-enabled sensors has facilitated them to extend their reach, especially where infrastructure for complete connectivity is lacking. As economies of scale decline and with an extended lifespan, they are becoming essential enablers to render agriculture predictive, adaptive, and efficient for both small-scale and large-scale farms.

Based on the application:

• Yield Monitoring
• On-Farm
• Off-Farm
• Field Mapping
• Crop Scouting
• Weather Tracking & Forecasting
• Irrigation Management
• Inventory Management
• Farm Labor Management

Yield monitoring is the most vibrant precision agriculture application that gives farmers precise assessment of productivity variations within the field. By utilizing GPS-guided harvest equipment and real-time sensor readings, this sub-segment enables yield performance mapping by location, revealing trends determined by soil condition, water availability, or past crop management decisions. Producers utilize these findings to modify seeding rates, fertilizer applications, and irrigation schedules in subsequent seasons. Yield monitoring is more than a retrospective analysis instrument, instead, it is an ongoing feedback procedure that takes the records of harvests and turns them into a planning tool. With increasing integration into farm management computer programs, it is at the center of calculating ROI, monitoring sustainability, and input optimization along the value chain.
