The global smart farms market is estimated to garner a revenue of USD 71,300.2 Million by the end of 2035 by growing at a CAGR of 12.74% over the forecast period, i.e., 2023 – 2035. Further, the market generated a revenue of USD 15,187.2 Million in the year 2022. The growth of the market can be attribute to growing population all around the globe, hence further leading to an increase in demand for food. According to a recent United Nations assessment, the need for food to support the world's population would increase by about 49% in 2050 compared to 2012. Crop and animal production would require about 160 to 600 million additional hectares of land, the majority of which is already covered by forests and other vital ecosystems. Hence the market for smart farming is anticipated to boost over the forecast period.
However, the need for more food and agricultural land would further lead to deforestation Agricultural expansion was responsible for roughly 89% of worldwide deforestation between 2000 and 2018. This has a negative influence on related ecosystem services including carbon sequestration and biodiversity. Hence the demand for climate smart agriculture (CSA) is estimated to increase. CSA stands for a strategy that sustainably boosts productivity, improves resilience (adaptation), mitigates GHG emissions when practicable, and helps meet development and food security goals. It enables those in charge of agricultural systems to react to CC (climate change) effectively. The CSA reduces GHG emissions where possible, adapts to CC (climate change), and sustainably boosts productivity and incomes without destroying trees. Hence this factor is anticipated to boost the market growth.

Growth Drivers
The adoption of numerous software and hardware applications in the farming business is aided by the expanding use of smartphones in agriculture. Additionally, an increase in smartphone usage is a result of telecom providers' deeper penetration into the agriculture sector, which enables the development of extensive linkages between different users to offer value-added services to prospective clients. As a result, the market for smart agriculture is able to generate more revenue. A survey of about 576 farming homes found that approximately 97% of participants own a mobile phone. About 24 percent of users obtain information about farming and livestock, more than 22 percent find information about buying and selling goods, and about 17 percent get alerts.
By 2050, the demand for food is anticipated to rise globally by about 69%.
Microsoft and the Indian government have teamed up to support India's small-holder farmers. The alliance aims to boost farmers' incomes through improved price management and increased agricultural yield using AI sensors. The collaboration would accelerate the use of AI in farming.
Ag Leader Technology improved its InCommand displays in November 2020 and announced the addition of guiding and steering solutions with year-round precision farming to its lineup.
In India's agriculture industry, there are currently about 999 aerial vehicles in use.
Challenges
The global smart farms market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by technology into indoor vertical farming, automated farming, livestock farming, modern greenhouse, precision farming, and others. Out of which, the precision farming segment is anticipated to garner the largest revenue of USD 35,573.9 Million by the end of 2035, up from a revenue of USD 6,617.4 Million in the year 2022. Further, this segment is expected to grow at a highest CAGR of 13.91% over the forecast period, backed by growing deforestation which is further boosting the need for climate smart agriculture (CSA). Agriculture is one of the main causes of deforestation. About 89% of global deforestation is attributable to the extension of farmland, which includes the planting of crops for human and animal use as well as the removal of forests for animal grazing. Grazing alone is responsible for approximately 39% of deforestation. Additionally, growing population could be also the driving factor for the growth of the segment as population are demanding more food. Hence to satisfy human food demand by causing least harm to the environment the adoption of precision farming is expected to boost.
The global smart farms market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into livestock monitoring & management, indoor farming, aquaculture, and others. Amongst these, the livestock monitoring & management segment is estimated to garner the largest market revenue of USD 31,470.6 Million by the end of 2035, up from a revenue of USD 5,796.8 Million in the year 2022. Further, the segment is estimated to grow at a highest CAGR of 14.00% over the forecast period, backed by growing demand for livestock products, along with growing government initiatives in order to support livestock farmers. Further government are also encouraging livestock farmers to adopt technology, such as livestock monitoring systems in order to meet the growing demand for livestock products. For instance, sensors could be used by farmers to track location and motion of livestock as well as to keep an eye on their behavior and health. By using this information, pasture management, nutrition, and any emerging health problems may all be optimized. Intelligent ear tags could follow specific animals, keep track of their movement, and even check their body temperatures. Drones could track and count cattle in wide fields, while cameras and other imaging technology could be used to assess a herd's general health. The delivery of food, water, and veterinary care to animals may all be managed and automated with the use of smart farming technologies.
