US Digital Agriculture Market (2023-2028)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the digital agriculture market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer, and parent markets. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

This research study involved the extensive use of secondary sources—directories and databases such as Bloomberg Businessweek and Factiva—to identify and collect information useful for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the digital agriculture market.

In the secondary research process, various sources such as annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, white papers, food journals, certified publications, articles from recognized authors, gold & silver standard websites, directories, and databases, were referred to identify and collect information. This research study involved the extensive use of secondary sources—directories and databases such as Bloomberg Businessweek and Factiva—to identify and collect information useful for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the digital agriculture market.

Secondary research was mainly used to obtain key information about the industry’s supply chain, the total pool of key players, and market classification and segmentation as per the industry trends to the bottom-most level, regional markets, and key developments from both market- and technology-oriented perspectives.

Primary Research

Extensive primary research was conducted after obtaining information regarding the digital agriculture market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from both the demand and supply sides across major countries of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Rest of the World. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, such as Chief X Officers (CXOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), Directors, from business development, marketing, research, and development teams, and related key executives from distributors, and key opinion leaders. Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights such as market statistics, data on revenue collected from the products and services, market breakdowns, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped in understanding the various trends related to additives of digital agriculture, offering, technology, operation, type, and region. Stakeholders from the demand side, such as companies who are using digital agriculture were interviewed to understand the buyer’s perspective on the suppliers, products, and their current usage of digital agriculture and the outlook of their business which will affect the overall market.

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the overall market size from the estimation process explained above, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments. Data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed to estimate the digital agriculture market and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. The data was triangulated by studying numerous factors and trends from the demand and supply sides. The market size was also validated using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches.

Market Definition

According to the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), digital agriculture is ICT and data ecosystems to support the development and delivery of timely, targeted information and services to make farming profitable and sustainable while delivering safe, nutritious, and affordable food for all.

Digital agriculture is the use of new and advanced technologies integrated into one system to enable farmers and other stakeholders within the agriculture value chain to improve food production. In contrast, a digital agriculture system gathers data more frequently and accurately, often combined with external sources (such as weather information). The resulting combined data is analyzed and interpreted so farmers can make more informed and appropriate decisions. These decisions can then be quickly implemented with greater accuracy through robotics and advanced machinery, and farmers can get real-time feedback on the impact of their actions.

Moreover, digital agriculture advances agricultural outcomes by driving more precise agriculture, better data collection and analytics, and more effective information dissemination. Digital agriculture includes precision forestry, precision aquaculture, precision livestock, and smart greenhouses.
