Farm Management Software Market Trends and Dynamics

Increasing implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning for real-time farm data management

The farm management software market is rising as agricultural operations expand, and the demand for real-time data for decision-making grows. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are becoming a ubiquitous technology in precision farming, animal monitoring, fish farming, and smart greenhouse operations, to name a few. The key focus is on understanding the environment by evaluating data collected by diverse farm management equipment such as global positioning systems (GPS), satellite imagery, and in-field sensors in the farm management framework. Data management in agriculture plays a significant role as the management decisions are based on the real-time data analysis produced from farm activities. Artificial intelligence and machine learning have enabled real-time data access, making data management tasks like planning, purchasing, feeding, harvesting, marketing, and inventory control much easier. Data collected in real-time from agricultural farms aid in analysis and decision-making.

Farm Management Software Market Segmentation

Precision aquaculture segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period

By application, the farm management software market for precision aquaculture is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. Farm management software for precision aquaculture is growing in response to the growing demand for protein-rich aqua food. Additionally, to promote the production of various types of fish, the appropriate amount of nutrients must be supplied to them. As a result, to boost fish productivity, fish farmers are increasingly employing farm management software for feeding management. Farm management software for precision aquaculture applications is predicted to grow as a result of these causes.

Data analytics services are expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The increasing need for real-time data management through cloud computing, government support to encourage the adoption of modern agricultural techniques, and increasing use of agriculture software to maintain farm efficiencies are some of the major factors fostering the growth of the market. The small farm segment of the farm management software market is expected to witness higher CAGR growth during the forecast period. Farmers in small farms are rapidly adopting farm management software and other advanced agricultural techniques as the cost of such advanced technologies has reduced significantly in recent years.

COVID-19 Impact on Farm Management Software Market Growth

Negative impact on the global farm management software market

Key companies have manufacturing facilities and corporate offices located throughout Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and the rest of the world. These companies' farm management software products are purchased by a variety of stakeholders for a variety of purposes. COVID-19 had an impact not just on the operations of the numerous farm management software manufacturers but also on their suppliers and distributors. Farm management software demand is projected to be negatively impacted and slightly stagnate in the short term due to a failure in export shipments and poor domestic demand in contrast to pandemic levels. During the first half of 2020, the major players in this market saw an impact on order intakes for farm management software.

Farm Management Software Market Geographical Analysis

North America is expected to dominate the global farm management software market

In developed countries, larger farms and greater farmer awareness lead to faster adoption of contemporary technologies than in poor countries. As a result, North America is the largest market for farm management software solutions, with Europe holding the second-highest market share. Companies such as Deere & Company, for example, provide software to operate agricultural equipment, including tractors, allowing farmers to perform precision farming. For many years, the United States has been at the forefront of applying precision farming technology to farming operations. According to a report by the US Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service, large-holding farms are more likely to use smart agriculture technologies and software. Large-holding farmers are ideally positioned to leverage agricultural software to acquire data-driven insights for maximizing crop yields, increasing average farm size and labor scarcity. In addition, to automate and automate agriculture, the Canadian government has spent USD 49.5 million on the Canadian Agri-Food Automation and Intelligence Network (CAAIN). The CAAIN is improving farming solutions by bolstering artificial intelligence, robotics, and precision agriculture. As a result, large-scale farms, a high rate of farmer adoption, and government initiatives are expected to enhance the market growth during the projected period.

Farm Management Software Companies and Competitive Landscape

The global farm management software market is fragmented. The global farm management software market is competitive and comprises numerous regional and international competitors. Companies are primarily concerned with growing their enterprises and implementing mergers and acquisitions, expansions, and new product development.
