Smart Spraying Technology Market is 3.16 billion in 2024 and is projected to register a CAGR of 18.6%

(MENAFN- Navistrat Analytics) 8th September 2025 – Increasing agricultural labor shortages and rising cost of labor are projected to drive considerable market revenue growth over the forecast period. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), worldwide employment in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries has decreased from 1 billion in 2000 to 892 million in 2022. Rural-to-urban migration is a major factor contributing to this problem.

Labor expenditures comprise a significant amount of agricultural expenses. According to the USDA, labor payments account for roughly 10% of every $100 spent on agricultural output, excluding non-cash compensation. As a result of increasing wage constraints and a scarcity of seasonal workers, farmers are increasingly turning to smart spraying technologies.

Government initiatives and strict pesticide reduction objectives encourage the adoption of smart spraying systems. On March 12, 2024, India, Kenya, Ecuador, Laos, the Philippines, Uruguay, and Vietnam launched a USD 379 million project to combat agricultural pollution arising from the excessive use of toxic pesticides. In addition, the European Union (EU) aims to reduce pesticide usage and risk by 50% by 2030.

However, network connectivity and gaps in digital infrastructure, particularly in rural regions, represent significant challenges to the smart spraying technology business. In most high-income nations, the connection challenge continues. Many farmers are unable to access real-time information, digital platforms, or remote system upgrades owing to infrastructural constraints that might hinder implementation.

Segment market overview and growth Insights:
The software segment is projected to register a revenue CAGR of 24.2% by 2032. Software is an essential component of precision spraying, allowing hardware components to transform sensor inputs into actionable spraying prescriptions. the use of 5G in precision agricultural technology is accelerating up this trend. According to the GSM Association, there will be over 1.6 billion 5G connections in 2023, with a projected 5.5 billion by 2030.

Advanced digital technologies for managing hardware systems include machine vision (MV), artificial intelligence (AI), and data-driven decision systems. Through properly recognizing and distinguishing weeds from crops in real time, digital solutions such as AI and MV dramatically reduce yield losses and input costs.

The Row Crops segment registered a substantial revenue share in 2024. Smart spraying technologies, such as variable rate sprayers, electrostatic sprayer systems, and drone-based systems, are more efficient in such crops owing to the accuracy involved with per-plant herbicide, pesticide, and fertilizer usage. This pattern will allow sensors and machine vision systems to rapidly track weed patches, measure canopy health, and spray places. This reduces input costs by reducing off-target chemical drift while preserving crop production uniformity.

Regional market overview and growth insights:
The Asia Pacific region is expected to register the fastest revenue growth of 22.5% by 2032. The usage of drone spraying technologies is growing rapidly as a result of strategic cross-border collaboration and technology transfer programs in ASEAN countries. Terra Drone Corporation partnered with Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF) on February 27, 2025, to promote a smart agricultural project in Indonesia. In addition, on March 4, 2024, Japan-based Mazex Corporation introduced an AI-powered drone-based spraying system with a 15L
spray tank and better endurance.

Europe is expected to register a substantial growth rate by 2032. AI and robotics enabled The SmartDroplets project is expected to generate revenue growth over the projection period. Precision spraying, which is being implemented through autonomous robotic platforms, improved navigation algorithms, and AI-driven prescription control, has the ability to minimize chemical consumption and operating costs while increasing yearly production by 15-20%.
