Global Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture Market Overview
The key drivers impacting artificial intelligence in the agriculture market are the growing demand for agricultural production due to the mounting population. For instance, the World Population datasheet estimations show that the world population is anticipated to reach 9.9 billion by 2050, increasing over 25% from the present 2020 population of 7.8 billion. As a result, food demand can increase about 59% to 98% by the year 2050. Hence, the growing population increased demand for food which necessitates the need for IoT devices for monitoring and analyzing weather conditions, the status of crops, and soil. Moreover, the rising demand for high crop yield, growing focus on enhanced crop management contributes to artificial intelligence in agriculture market demand in the later years.
According to Value Market Research, the global artificial intelligence in the agriculture market size was valued at about USD 966.8 million in 2020 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 26% during the forecast period 2021 to 2027.
