Drivers: Increase in focus on farm efficiency and productivity

Agriculture has traditionally been a risky economic activity, and farmers worldwide have been impacted by economic downturns and environmental shifts. The newer technology versions of agricultural sprayers have provided various benefits to the farmers, such as low cost, increased spray efficiency, safety, and less damage to the crops and environment. This is subsequently growing the demand for sprayers in the global market. Agricultural sprayer manufacturers are increasingly inclined to focus on enhancing farmers' capabilities and knowledge to make them more productive and help them compete in the market. Also, the increasing implementation of precision farming techniques has improved the potential of manufacturers of sprayers to make the agricultural steps more efficient and predictable.

Restraints: High capital investment in modern agricultural equipment

The major restraining factor for the agricultural sprayers market is the high initial investment. Self-propelled and aerial sprayers need high initial investments, efficient farming tools, and skilled & knowledgeable farmers or growers; this makes the farmers apprehensive about using this technology. Farmers or growers are required to make a huge initial investment in GPS, drones, and GIS to collect input data, variable rate technology, and satellite devices, among others. The majority of the farmers are marginal farmers or small landholding farmers who find it difficult to invest in expensive equipment. This restraint is particularly high in developing countries such as India, China, and Brazil. Currently, most developing countries are importing farming equipment from other countries, which increases the product cost. Recently, these countries have started investing in the research & development (R&D) of smart farming equipment, owing to the increasing demand for farm management solutions. This demand would help in the reduction of hardware equipment and device prices. Moreover, many software designers are developing user-friendly solutions to save the consultation cost of farmers.

By power source, the fuel-based sprayer segment is the fastest-growing segment in the market during the forecast period

Fuel-operated sprayers are most efficient due to their strong engine, capacity to cover large farm areas, and reduced human effort, but they also demand proper maintenance. For their running, all engines need fuel, air, and a proper system of ignition. Thus, in a petrol engine, clean petrol, clean air, and healthy ignition are essential. Fuel-based sprayers are used for high volume spraying.

By crop type, the cereals segment is projected to account for the largest share in the agricultural sprayers market during the forecast period

Cereals form an important segment for the agricultural sprayers market as wheat and maize are grown abundantly in different regions. The use of agricultural sprayers helps farmers cover larger farm sizes and protect crops, resulting in higher crop yield. According to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook for 2014–2023, the global wheat utilization volume is projected to reach 774 million tons by 2023; 295 million tons is projected to be utilized in developed countries while the remaining 479 million tons are expected to be utilized in developing countries. Agricultural sprayers experience high demand from cereal producers to increase crop yield. Thus, increasing demand for cereals and grains in consumers' diets drives the growth of the agricultural sprayers market.

The Asia Pacific region is projected to account for a major share in the market during the forecast period

This market is also projected to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period. Agriculture is the major occupation in the Asia Pacific region; it has a huge regional presence, including countries like China, India, Australia, Japan, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. Thus, the increasing agricultural practices, use of advanced technological farm equipment, and requirement of high-quality agricultural produce are expected to drive the agricultural sprayers market in this region.
