Smart Soil Moisture Sensor Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The growing need for improving farm productivity to feed the rising population is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as high initial investment in smart soil moisture sensor technology may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the smart soil moisture sensor industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Smart Soil Moisture Sensor Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global market growth is the growing need for improving farm productivity to feed the rising population. Soil monitoring has grown increasingly vital as the world's population grows, potentially resulting in food shortages. To address the danger of food security for future generations, the farming sector is under enormous pressure to increase agricultural productivity in a variety of ways. Technology has a significant role in increasing crop yield per acre in this area. Good irrigation or water management practices, such as using soil moisture sensors to monitor the water level in the soil, can assist in increasing yields and improving crop quality. These sensors make farming more profitable by assisting in water and energy conservation as well as significant cost savings, which will support the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Key Smart Soil Moisture Sensor Market Trend
Another key factor driving the global market growth is the big data in smart soil moisture sensors, which is giving rise to a lot of opportunities in the agriculture industry. Improvement in wireless communication in the agricultural field is leading to growth in production levels. In addition, improvements in functional safety and repair and maintenance of equipment in the field are giving rise to a crop production level that will accelerate the rate of adoption of big data in smart soil moisture sensors. With the use of GPS trackers and 3D sensors; granular data points on soil conditions; and detailed information on wind, fertilizer requirement, water availability, and pesticide requirements can be conveyed to farmers. The assistance of big data in data acquisition and storage will promote decision-making and other practices used by farmers, which will positively impact the market growth during the forecast period.
Key Smart Soil Moisture Sensor Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to global market growth is the high initial investment in smart soil moisture sensor technology. The adoption of smart soil moisture sensor technology depends on the land area. For instance, farmers that have a small land area find it difficult to match the level of investment with the crop production level in their fields. For larger farms, although investments are not a major concern, the integration cost of hardware and software solutions with the entire farm area remains a major challenge. If the farmers have low technical skills, the immediate benefits of advanced technology cannot be achieved, which acts as a major challenge for end-users of smart soil moisture sensors. Such factors are expected to hamper the adoption of data analytics tools and sensors, which is expected to negatively impact the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
This market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.
