26 March 2019 - The Global Smart
Soil Moisture Sensor Market is subject to witness a substantial growth due
to the rise in overall agriculture production to sustain ever-growing
population and rise in the awareness level associated with agriculture testing.
Growing importance towards agriculture testing to boost agriculture production
among farmers across the globe is expected to favor market demand over the
forecast period.
Smart
soil moisture sensor helps to measure water content in the soil. Globally,
market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 17.11%, providing numerous
opportunities for market players to invest for research and development in the
smart soil moisture sensor market.
The
recent technological advancement in agriculture sector along with constant need
to improve productivity and efficiency in crop harvesting are anticipated to
drive the growth of the market over the coming years. Soil testing with the
help of smart soil moisture sensor allows testing of a soil sample to govern
quality and contamination hazard. With the help of soil testing, farmers can
analyze and understand the required input parameters and resource necessary in
optimal plant growth and their harvesting.
In
addition, use of smart soil moisture sensor in soil testing helps to understand
contamination level that can lead to degradation of plants and responsible for
their decomposition. Smart soil moisture sensor is capable of determining the
pH level of water and soil samples. Smart soil moisture sensor can measure
fertility level and trace important elements from the given soil sample.
Constant requirement of higher agricultural production globally has led to
witnessed massive boom in smart soil moisture sensor market over the past few
years, and will continue to grow exponentially in upcoming years as well.
Furthermore,
growing adoption of smart soil moisture sensor in building & construction
sector and residential applications such as water content measurement in the
soil at construction sites and maintenance of green lawns is driving industry
expansion. Use of smart soil moisture sensor to measure water content before
laying foundation for the construction is propelling market demand in the
recent years. Growing use of smart soil moisture sensor for maintenance of
sports growing is leading market maturation over the coming years as well.
Smart soil moisture sensors are gaining widespread popularity in application
involving weather forecast.
The
market is broadly categorized into three major segments based on the product
type such as tensiometer, gypsum block, and time domain reflectometry. The
tensiometer is considered as one of the fastest growing segment in the market
with substantial revenue generation in the last few years. Growing popularity
of the tensiometer segment is attributed to the increasing demand from
Asia-Pacific region and higher market penetration.
The
market is divided by region as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin
America and Africa. North America has shown major growth in recent years owing
to the rise in the implementation of latest technologies in agriculture sector,
increase in the number of research & development activities in the region
and existence of well-established industrial infrastructure.
Asia-Pacific
region is predicted to hold major market share in the smart soil moisture
sensor market with massive growth in forecast period. Countries such as India,
Japan, Indonesia, Australia, China and Singapore are leading the Asia-Pacific
market with increasing overall agriculture production to sustain ever-growing
population, rising disposable income, growing awareness level among farmers,
favorable government policies, and significant investment by leading industry
players considering potential growth opportunities in the region.
