Connected agriculture is characterized as the use of advanced technology solutions and services to enhance, manage, and monitor the pre-production, in-production, and post-production activities of agriculture. There are four main stages in connected agriculture, namely data sensing, data communication, data storage, and data processing. The information produced from these measures enables different stakeholders, such as farmers, growers, livestock producers, agricultural cooperatives, agribusinesses, grape growers, seed companies, fertilizer companies, food and beverage companies, and governments, to take real-time decisions to increase their Return on Investment (RoI).
The global connected agriculture market revenue is projected to reach close to USD 11,211.6 Million by 2028. This can be attributed to the need for increased production per yield and increased government initiatives to adopt new technologies.
However, the high capital investment for establishing connected agriculture infrastructure is likely to hamper the market growth. Furthermore, increasing the adoption of sensors, IoT, and advanced farming techniques in agriculture is anticipated to be an opportunity for the connected agriculture market.

Connected agricultural marketing is dependent upon the provision of resources engaged in the enhancement of agricultural production from farm to consumer. It is also the planning, systematization, administration, and management of agricultural production in such a way as to satisfy the specifications of the farmer, the producer, and the purchaser. This includes a range of consistent tasks, such as transport, grading, growing and harvesting, procurement, production preparation, packing and manufacturing, storage and food processing, sales, and advertisement. Considering the advancement of agricultural marketing, particularly in developing countries, there is a trend to focus on a variety of areas, in particular, infrastructure expansion; knowledge requirements; structured training of farmers and dealers in the sale and post-harvest concerns; and support for the expansion of an effective policy setting. The concept encompasses the entire spectrum of supply chain activities.
Platform Segment
In terms of platform, the market is bifurcated into device management, application enablement, and connectivity management. The device management segment is estimated to acquire significant market share during the forecast period.
