Farm Management Software Market To Hit Value .22 Billion By 2025

Posted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on March 25th, 2021

The global farm management software market size is anticipated to reach USD 4.22 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 16.7% during the forecast period. The perpetual shortage of water along with growing population in developing countries is compelling governments to seek different ways of increasing food production.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR) solutions are anticipated to substantially contribute while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and address continuously evolving challenges. The existing situation owing to the outbreak of the epidemic will inspire pharmaceutical vendors and healthcare establishments to improve their R&D investments in AI, acting as a core technology for enabling various initiatives. The insurance industry is expected to confront the pressure associated with cost-efficiency. Usage of AI can help in reducing operating costs, and at the same time, can increase customer satisfaction during the renewal process, claims, and other services. VR/AR can assist in e-learning, for which the demand will surge owing to the closure of many schools and universities. Further, VR/AR can also prove to be a valuable solution in providing remote assistance as it can support in avoiding unnecessary travel. The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.

A shift from inefficient traditional agricultural methods to modern agricultural practices would help cope with sustainability challenges in the agriculture industry, which is expected to positively influence the farm management software market over the forecast period. Increasing awareness regarding benefits of organic foods and their subsequently growing consumption are fueling the demand for higher agricultural output. As a result, industry players are investing in R&D activities to develop effective and efficient drones for enhancing productivity. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated a 60% increase in the demand for agricultural products by 2050, representing an approximate increase by 1% per year, as the global population is likely to reach 9 billion by 2050. Furthermore, growing middle-class population in emerging countries is poised to stoke the demand for agricultural products such as vegetables and fruits. Moreover, increasing uptake of healthier food is boosting the demand for market.

Increasing focus of farmers on crop yield, productivity, and farm efficiency is projected to provide a fillip to the market over the forecast period. Advancements in technologies such as cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) are anticipated to promote the usage of big data, artificial intelligence, and robots in farming. Big data plays an essential role in providing predictive insights in agriculture, redesigning business process, and making real-time operational decisions for altering business models.

Farm Management Software Market Report Highlights

  • The emergence of big data, mobile computing, and advanced sensing technology, which supports software are shaping the farm management software market
  • The cloud-based deployment model is expected to witness the most promising growth, registering a CAGR of 19.5% over the projected period
  • The data, which is collected through sensors and drones, is visualized through platforms developed by service providers
  • The managed services segment dominated the market in 2016. Managed services are similar to third party or outsourced services. Most growers adopt managed service providers for drone services as collection of data using drones requires special assistance
  • The North American market dominated the market and was valued at USD 492.7 million in 2016
  • Some of the key players in the market are DeLaval International AB; CropMetrics LLC; Granular, Inc.; DICKEY-john Corporation; Gamaya; and Raven Industries.

Global IT companies such as IBM are offering software solutions and big data analytics for precision farming techniques. On the other hand, startups are moving upstream in the value chain and extending their offerings to insurance and advisory services. The value chain of the farm management software market includes suppliers, agricultural OEMs, integrators & service providers, and customers.

The adoption of remote sensing technology in the agriculture industry is on a rise due to emergence of drones and GIS. Images captured through device featuring remote sensing technology can be used for detection of cop water stress, monitoring weeds & crop diseases, classification of crop species, and mapping of soil properties. A few of the open-source remote sensing software, include Quantum GIS Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin (SCP), Optical and Radar Federated Earth Observation (ORFEO) toolbox, Opticks, and PolSARPro.

Growing adoption of site-specific crop management is likely to reduce the usage of pesticides, improve crop yields, and provide better information for farm management decisions. Farm productivity can be increased by forecasting crop performance under various environmental conditions. Phenotyping helps understand numerous factors such as nitrogen depletion and pH levels of soil affecting crop growth and is carried out to determine crop growth under different conditions.
