Panoramica di mercato

The global market for augmented reality in agriculture experienced a value of $0.84 milioni di euro 2021 and is projected to reach $4.89 milioni di 2027, with a CAGR of 34.49% during the forecast period from 2022 A 2027. This market is still in its emerging stage and is expected to be driven by several factors including the increasing demand for food due to a growing population, the trend of digitalization in the industry and agriculture sectors (Industry 4.0 and Agriculture 4.0), the need for simulated training, and precise field monitoring.

The world’s population is rapidly expanding and is expected to continue growing in the future. By 2050, it is predicted to reach 10 billion people. As the population increases, so does the demand for resources, particularly food. To meet this demand, farmers will need to double their grain production. Achieving such levels of productivity will require the adoption of contemporary technologies that can assist farmers in meeting these food requirements. Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that overlays visual, audio, or other sensory data onto the physical world, enhancing the user’s experience. AR images can be displayed on various devices such as glasses, goggles, headsets, or heads-up displays like helmet visors. The most popular way to use AR currently is through smartphones, tablets, and handheld devices in apps and games.

Currently, there is a significant emphasis on digitization in precision agriculture, smart farming, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics. The market is predominantly dominated by regions like North America and Europe, which have seen technological advancements and developments in equipment to enhance farming operations. Furthermore, farmers in these regions possess a higher level of technical knowledge and adaptability.

The demand drivers for the augmented reality in agriculture market include the push for digitization in Agriculture 4.0, augmented reality as a tool for field monitoring, and the increased demand for spatial computing applications.

However, there are challenges that need to be addressed for the augmented reality in agriculture market to reach its full potential. These challenges include a lack of awareness about the technology among farmers, limited research and development efforts focusing on agricultural applications of augmented reality, and a lack of successful use cases in the industry.

The indoor farming segment is expected to dominate the global augmented reality in agriculture market. This is due to the advancements in technology and investments in hydroponics and aquaponics, as well as the higher adoption among farmers with greater technical awareness. Augmented reality has applications in various industries, including gaming, entertainment, healthcare, manufacturing, and agriculture. In agriculture, augmented reality is categorized into indoor farming and outdoor farming, which encompasses precision agriculture, smart farming, livestock monitoring, simulated training, and weather tracking.

Among these applications, indoor farming had the largest share in 2021 and is expected to continue leading the market from 2022 A 2027. The outdoor farming segment is projected to have a higher growth rate during this period, driven by the increasing demand for precision agriculture and smart farming techniques.

In terms of components, the software segment accounted for the largest share in the global augmented reality in agriculture market in 2021. This can be attributed to its higher penetration in handheld and mobile devices. The hardware segment, including AR headsets, smart glasses, and heads-up displays, is expected to experience the highest growth rate. This is driven by the growing applications of spatial computing, field monitoring, quick decision-making, and increased deployment of dedicated AR hardware in pilot projects.

North America dominated the global market in 2021 and is projected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. This is primarily due to the region’s extensive research and development activities, substantial adoption of AR and other digital technologies, and large land sizes that allow for greater investment potential. In contrast, developing countries face limitations in terms of farm sizes and profit margins, which restrict their ability to invest. Inoltre, the ongoing trend of digital transformation is significantly impacting market growth.
