Agricultural Sprayers Market

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Agricultural Sprayers Market is accounted for $2.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $4.1 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period. Agriculture sprayers are pieces of farming equipment that farmers use to quickly, conveniently, and effectively apply liquid fertilisers, herbicides, and insecticides that contain acids or caustic chemicals to soil or plants to increase crop performance and kill pests. Additionally, they are used for the production of line ingredients as well as chemicals for pest control, weed killers, crop performance, and water projection. They are currently offered in a wide range of sizes and types, from small, portable sprayers with spray guns to sophisticated atomizers, self-propelled machines, and trailed or mounted sprayers attached to tractors.

According to Agricultural Technology National Institute (INTA) 65% of the self-propelled sprayers, which are used to apply 85% of the USA chemicals, are owned by contractors.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing focus on farm efficacy to increase yield

Farmers or growers encounter a variety of market obstacles in addition to difficulties related to farm operations. Price volatility, unpredictable weather, finding customers for their goods, and a lack of natural resources are a few market obstacles. Contemporary agricultural sprayers have a number of advantages for farmers, including low cost, improved spray efficiency, safety, and reduced harm to the environment and crops. As a result, there is a significant increase in demand for agricultural sprayers on the international market.

Restraint:

High capital investment

In comparison to other non-tech equipment, new farming technologies such as satellite devices, GPS, drones, and GIS to collect input data are expensive and require significant capital commitment. The majority of farmers are small-scale or marginal farmers that find it challenging to make large equipment purchases. The level of this constraint is especially high in developing nations like India, China, and Brazil. Currently, the majority of developing nations import agricultural equipment from other nations, which raises the overall price of the product and is predicted to slow the market expansion for agricultural sprayers in the coming years.

Opportunity:

Adoption of precision farming technique

Farmers can increase their revenue from agricultural companies by using modern agricultural practises like precision farming. In order to reduce resource waste, precision farming helps acquire exact information about the use of irrigation water, liquid fertilisers, nutrients, herbicides, and pesticides on the field. Farmers can use precision farming to make efficient use of their resources. As a result, farmers have recently started using precise fermentation processes, creating potential on the global market.

Threat:

Increase in risk of spray drift

In a Pesticide Action Network (PAN) report, it is stated that "when pesticides are sprayed, they can drift and settle on playgrounds, porches, laundry, toys, pools, furniture and more." When harsh chemicals are applied to fight off pests in agricultural, residential, and surrounding regions, drift pesticides pose a risk to human health as well as to wildlife and ecosystems. This is anticipated to be one of the factors hindering the market expansion for agricultural sprayers.

Covid-19 Impact

The chain of distribution for agricultural sprayers has barely been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. Because the companies' manufacturing facilities were closed, the production of new sprayer units was hampered in the first and second quarters of the year, which is leading to labour shortages and a decrease in the supply of new sprayers to customers. However, production is anticipated to pick back up regularly once governmental restrictions like trade embargoes and lockdowns are lifted. After taking all essential safeguards, including routine temperature checks, the usage of PPE equipment, and a small number of staff, businesses have started to open their industrial facilities.

The tractor-mounted segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The tractor-mounted segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, as they are the most widely employed. Sprayers that are installed to tractors are frequently used for pest control and crop protection. These sprayers are more effective than hand-held sprayers and more practical for large farms. Tractor-mounted sprayers with better accuracy, safety, performance, and operator comfort are being used more frequently.

The Ultra-Low Volume segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The capacity of agricultural sprayers has a significant impact on how evenly pesticides are distributed across crop leaves.These sprayers are used for little tasks that don't call for powerful machinery. For ultralow volume sprayers, the spray droplets are incredibly small.As a result, the nozzles included in this type of sprayer, such as the centrifugal and thermal nozzles, are unique. Because ultralow volume agriculture sprayers need less water than typical conventional highvolume sprayers, changing climatic circumstances and water constraints raise demand for these sprayers.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. Industries in the area use a variety of techniques to increase agricultural revenue, including new product launches and technical advancements. The farmer can follow spraying operations using an IoT (Internet of Things) device, which has a number of advantages. The market for agricultural sprayers is expected to expand as a result of numerous technological developments in the agricultural sector.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the demand for the product is expected to rise as a result of increased advancements in farm equipment productivity and machinery. The region's agricultural productivity has significantly increased as a result of innovations, process enhancements, and new technology.
