3. Deere & Company (US) and CNH Industrial NV (UK) are the Key Players in the Agricultural Variable Rate Technology Market

The global agriculture VRT market is estimated to be valued at USD 7.4 billion in 2022. It is projected to reach USD 13.7 billion by 2027, recording a CAGR of 13.2% during the forecast period. The most significant factor driving the agriculture VRT market is the increasing focus on farm efficiency and productivity. Increasing average farmer ages in developed nations have led to difficulties in carrying out on-field practices manually. This has led to a rise in the use of agriculture variable rate technologies that automate the entire process of scouting, along with various other practices. Developed nations have the largest farm sizes across the globe, which makes it harder for the demographic of farmers whose average ages are increasing to manage them using traditional agriculture practices.

Key players in this market include Deere & Company (US), CNH Industrial NV (UK),  Trimble, Inc (US), Topcon Corporation (Japan), AGCO Corporation (US).
