Row crops application to account for a larger share of the precision planting market during the forecast period.

The precision planting market is likely to be dominated by row crops in 2023. In row crops, precision planting equipment and systems are widely used to distribute seeds precisely. For large farms, precision planting systems are mainly used to plant row crops. The singulation of seeds affects the yield of row crops such as corn, soybeans, and canola. The majority of these crops are sown on farms sized above 400 hectares, which are primarily found in the US, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, and Australia.

Farms below 400 ha will hold the largest market share during the forecast period

In Europe, Asia Pacific, and Africa, farms smaller than 400 hectares are common. Globally, there are more than 80 million farms between 100 and 400 hectares. These farms are more likely to use compact precision planting systems due to their benefits, such as high productivity due to precise seed inputs, superior seed-to-soil contact, and the ability to plant thousands of seeds per minute. A considerable amount of disposable income is available to these farmers, so they can invest in technologically advanced planting devices and equipment. Farms with a size less than 400 hectares also find high adoption of precision air seeders.

Hydraulic drive segment is likely to account for a larger share in the overall precision planting market from 2022 to 2027

As a result of its advanced features and ability to allow growers to reduce overlap between seeds, hydraulic drives are expected to hold a larger market share. Planters and seeders with an advanced drive system come with either an electric or hydraulic motor. Increasing adoption of high-speed precision planters and precision air seeders, as well as growing awareness of the benefits of precision planting systems, have contributed to the growth of hydraulic drive-based precision planting systems. The growing preference for high-speed precision planting systems with hydraulic drives to reduce manual labor and achieve cost savings has led to the growth of high-speed precision planting systems.

US likely to lead the global precision planting market by 2027

The US has a substantial market share in precision planting and seeding equipment markets. The country has large area for crops under cultivation; every year, more than 90 million ha are planted with row crops such as corn and soybean. High-speed precision planters are mainly used in commodity row crops in the US. The adoption rate of automation and digitalization of agriculture is high in large farms, which further allows farmers in the country to make use of modern and precise equipment for agriculture. To produce various types of row crops, farmers practice conventional tillage and soil preparation, which involve several steps, including preparing the soil bed and eliminating the weeds.
