Dublin, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The European precision agriculture market is poised for significant growth, with projections indicating a rise from $3.36 billion in 2024 to $6.32 billion by 2034, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.51%. This surge is driven by the increasing adoption of IoT sensors, AI-powered insights, and advanced data analytics, enabling farmers to boost yields, optimize resource efficiency, and embrace sustainable practices.
The “Europe Precision Agriculture Market: Focus on Application, Product, and Country – Analysis and Forecast, 2024-2034” report, recently added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering, provides a comprehensive analysis of the market landscape. It highlights emerging technologies, market trends, and competitive dynamics, offering valuable insights for informed decision-making and strategic planning.
Precision farming is gaining traction across Europe, with small and medium-sized farms in both Western and Eastern Europe embracing digital tools and services. These technologies allow farmers to monitor field conditions, optimize inputs, and make data-driven decisions. The shift is supported by EU policies such as the Common Agricultural Policy’s digital farming initiatives and the Green Deal targets, which provide financial incentives for adopting new technologies and encourage rural broadband expansion.
Equipment-as-a-service and leasing models are lowering entry barriers, enabling farmers to access cutting-edge technology without significant capital expenditures. Real-time field mapping and variable-rate application techniques are reducing greenhouse gas emissions, fertilizer runoff, and water use, while automated equipment and remote management platforms address labor shortages and optimize operations.
However, challenges remain, including uneven connectivity in remote regions and fragmented national regulations on data privacy and equipment certification. Limited digital literacy among traditional growers and the high cost of comprehensive sensor networks also hinder broader adoption.
Looking ahead, investment in agritech training, interoperable data standards, and edge-computing solutions will be crucial for market expansion. These advancements will enable Europe’s agricultural sector to meet productivity, profitability, and sustainability goals simultaneously.
The report segments the market by application, product, and country, providing a detailed analysis of trends, drivers, and challenges. It also includes competitive benchmarking and company profiles of key players such as Accenture, AGRIVI, Bayer AG, BASF, and CNH Industrial N.V.
