Dublin, April 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Smart Weed Control Market Report 2025" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The smart weed control market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.19 billion in 2024 to $1.44 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.1%.
The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing adoption of precision agriculture technologies, growth in demand for organic food products, growth in government support for smart farming initiatives, growth in investment in agri-tech startups, and increasing adoption of drones.
The smart weed control market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.07 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for precision agriculture, increasing labor costs and shortages, growing awareness of the environmental impact, rising focus on crop yield optimization, and increasing need for sustainable agriculture practices.
Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, integration of AI, sustainable farming practices, non-chemical weed control methods, and smart farming technologies.
The expansion of the agricultural sector is anticipated to propel the growth of the smart weed control market. The agricultural sector plays a crucial role in the global economy by producing food, fiber, and other essential goods, encompassing activities such as crop cultivation, livestock farming, forestry, fisheries, and agricultural technology. The sector's growth is attributed to advancements in crop varieties, improved farming practices, and the increased use of data-driven management systems. Smart weed control technologies help manage weeds with precision, thereby reducing crop competition, optimizing resource use, and minimizing chemical inputs, which enhances yields and promotes sustainability. For example, a report by the United States Department of Agriculture in April 2024 noted that agriculture, food, and related industries contributed approximately $1.53 trillion to the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023, accounting for about 5.6% of the total GDP. Thus, the growth in the agricultural sector is fueling the growth of the smart weed control market.
Major companies in the smart weed control market are concentrating on developing advanced technologies, such as camera-based AI systems, to enhance weed detection accuracy and optimize crop yields through precise and efficient weed management. Camera-based AI systems utilize artificial intelligence and image recognition technology to identify and differentiate between crops and weeds in real time. For example, in May 2024, Stara, a Brazil-based agricultural machinery company, introduced the Imperador 4000 Eco Spray weed management sprayer. This sprayer incorporates a camera-based AI system developed by Bosch to detect weeds in real time, allowing for selective herbicide application only where necessary. The innovation aims to boost farming efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact, with the sprayer operating 24/7 and equipped with LED lighting for both pre- and post-emergence applications.
In June 2024, Homburg, a Netherlands-based agriculture company, acquired Ekobot for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition will enable Homburg to advance Ekobot in line with their agricultural vision, positioning the company well for its scaling phase. Ekobot, based in Sweden, specializes in autonomous robotic systems for weed control in agriculture.
