Imaging Technology Market is reaching US$ 1,165.9 Mn in forecast period 2016-2024
With a
growing global population and growing concerns about food security, it is
critical to maximizing yields on the limited arable land available for crop
cultivation. Precision agriculture enters the picture in this context, where
the precise application of water, nutrients, and fertilizers over a farmland
combined with accurate data pertaining to the areas where such resources are
required plays a vital role in crop management decisions.
Precision
agriculture aids in the computation of other important parameters such as pest
and weed spread, soil quality, air quality, and so on, and is gaining
acceptance among farmers as a result of which crop yields are improving
significantly. The global imaging
technology market for precision agriculture is expected to grow at a 9.0
percent CAGR from 2016 to 2024, reaching US$ 1,165.9 Mn in revenue.
The
introduction of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), combined with additional
benefits such as lower costs when compared to traditional precision farming
methods, easy-to-use devices, and improved data accuracy has resulted in
increased use of imaging systems for precision farming.
A wide range
of applications for imaging systems in precision farming, such as crop health
monitoring, irrigation equipment monitoring, weed, and pest identification,
variable rate fertility, animal monitoring, and environmental impact
assessment is expected to drive demand and propel the global imaging
technology market for precision agriculture over the forecast period.
Additional
advantages of imaging technology over other precision agricultural
technologies, as well as increased use of UAVs for commercial applications, are
some of the factors that are likely to drive demand for the global imaging
technology market for precision agriculture.
The high
costs of precision agriculture systems are the main impediment to the global
imaging technology market for precision agriculture. Furthermore, the
production and maintenance of precision agriculture systems necessitate a high
level of expertise and technical know-how.
The majority
of countries around the world have unclear or no regulations for commercial use
of UAVs, necessitating special clearances from regulatory authorities, which
takes time.
The global
imaging technology market for precision agriculture is divided into two major
categories: technology and product. The segmented technology is further
subdivided into multispectral technology and hyperspectral technology. Cameras,
sensors, software, and other products are sub-segmented within the product
segment.
Because of
the detailed information available with the help of these cameras, the cameras
segment is expected to account for the largest market revenue share by 2024.
Furthermore, the demand for sensors is expected to grow at the fastest rate by
2024, followed by cameras and software.
The global
imaging technology market for precision agriculture is divided into five
regions: North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle
East and Africa. By 2024, North America is expected to be the most profitable
region in the global imaging technology market for precision agriculture.
