Download SampleThe smart agriculture market in Europe is experiencing robust growth, driven by advancements in hardware, software, and services. The hardware segment is particularly influential, as farmers increasingly adopt technologies such as sensors, drones, and autonomous vehicles to enhance operational efficiency and productivity. Simultaneously, the software segment is gaining momentum through the integration of IoT and artificial intelligence, enabling farmers to leverage data for real-time decision-making and precision farming applications like yield monitoring and irrigation management. Additionally, the services segment is expanding as agricultural enterprises seek expert consulting and system integration to effectively implement these smart technologies. Increasing government support and a growing awareness of sustainable practices among farmers are further propelling this trend. As urbanization accelerates and resource scarcity becomes more pressing, the adoption of smart agriculture solutions is likely to rise, fostering greater productivity and sustainability in European agriculture. This multifaceted growth reflects a significant shift towards innovative farming practices that promise to transform the agricultural landscape across the continent. European Commission has identified precision farming as a possible agricultural practice that eco-schemes could support in the post-2022 Common Agricultural Policy. Due to globalization of the world economy, European countries face the low cost of production of other low-income countries. In addition to that, Europe tries to evolve its agriculture domain using technology, aiming at the sustainability of its agriculture sector especially in a scientific area of smart farming. The major countries like Russia, Germany, France, UK, Spain and Italy, are countries having a significant share in the smart agriculture market. Among these Russia has the highest CAGR in the market. The strong growth in the Russia’s market was largely due to the high rate of adoption of technologies by the agricultural producers in the country. The urgent need to improve production from the decreasing number of farms and increasing livestock herd sizes further contributed to the growth of the market in the country.
The Covid-19 effect on Europe smart agriculture market: During the pandemic, the Europe supply chain demonstrated a high degree of resilience. The value share of the agriculture industry in Europe has been declined by 1.4% in 2020 compared to 2019. Initial challenges for the region during the outbreak included increased food demand due to consumer panic buying; labor shortages caused by movement regulations as well as slow-down in food production because of virus outbreaks in processing plants. However, staying at home and low labor force has increased demand for automatic technologies for farming. By the end of 2020, the market growth for smart agriculture in Europe was estimated to be growing with significant growth.
