In 2021, the soil management application sector held a dominant market share of roughly 24%. Additionally, it is projected that from 2022 to 2029, the segment would have the second-highest CAGR of 14.1%. The management of soil is crucial for the best possible growth and output of plants. Soil moisture sensors, continuous plant growth sensors, and microclimate tracking are being added to monitoring systems to improve them. Farmers are able to act immediately thanks to the relay of data collected by these sensors to mobile devices. Furthermore, farmers have been able to enhance food output overall and decrease water usage thanks to the growing use of sensors in agricultural areas. It is anticipated that these advantages will propel the market in the upcoming years. Additionally, the market is being driven by governments' increased focus on water conservation in order to improve agricultural quality across various nations.
The cost of sensors has decreased significantly in recent years due to advancements in technology. The Bureau of Labor Statistics claims that other changes, such as the falling prices of computers, cameras, and televisions, are closely tracked by this. Because of this, agriculture now uses a lot more sensors and generates a lot of data that is mostly wasted. There are two outcomes from sensor technology advancements. Firstly, entry-level sensors are now accessible and fairly priced. Second, some sensors have become much more affordable and sophisticated. Users are under pressure from numerous companies to employ a variety of low-cost sensors to monitor and manage variability at the field-scale. While some companies advocate using one or more of these advanced sensors, they are usually more expensive.
