Precision and Autonomous Commercial Agriculture

Quantifying Precision in Planting, Spraying, and Harvesting with Global Commercial Market Forecasts: 2023-2032

Precision agriculture is not new. Heavy equipment, for example, has been fitted with GPS technologies for years. What is new is the level of precision and autonomy possible with modern computer vision technology. Advanced sensors and computers allow a tractor to drive itself, a sprayer to know exactly which plants to spray, and a seeder to use only the amount of fertilizer it needs.

The market potential for these technologies is significant. Farming is a dangerous profession, and heavy machinery with the sensing technology to stop or brake when people are near will have enormous safety benefits. The reduction in the amount of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers farmers use with precision sprayers will also have enormous environmental benefits. These high levels of precision will likely first make their way onto heavy agricultural equipment: sprayers, harvesters, and seeders. The markets that have been investing in the development of precision and autonomous agriculture are highly focused on food crops such as corn and soybeans, so much of the technology caters to those markets.

This Guidehouse Insights report analyzes the global market for precision and autonomous agriculture. It provides an analysis of the barriers and drivers to global adoption of this technology in commercial agriculture. It also provides global forecasts for the overall market, various types of heavy agricultural equipment, specific crops, and which crop form factors it is currently best suited to serve. Forecasts cover the period 2023-2032 and are segmented into eight global regions and subregions.
