Scope of Global Soil Moisture Sensor Market Report:

Soil moisture sensor is used to check the moisture of the soil by measuring water content of soil using principle of capacitance. Soil moisture sensors are used in areas such as agriculture, sports turf, weather forecasting, forestry residential, landscaping and ground care, research studies, and construction. Soil moisture sensors are one of the important agricultural equipments used to measure the volumetric water content within the soil. Soil is prominent natural resource which has been disregarded in the past leading to adverse results. Sensor helps farmers to use lesser water for growing a crop, hence increasing the quality and yield of the crop by improving the management of soil moisture during plant growth.

Soil moisture sensors are the tool used by gardeners to measure the water content in soil. They allow the farmers to take accurate decisions in planning for agricultural actions. These are useful equipment for environmentalists in determining the drought conditions and understand the biodiversity in a region. Soil moisture sensor plays an essential role in soil water profiling, pollution monitoring, civil engineering, and forestry. Direct gravimetric measure of the moisture in soil requires removing, drying, and weighting of soil sample.

However, soil moisture sensors determine the volumetric moisture content in soil using properties of the soil like electrical resistance, interaction with neutrons and dielectric constant.

COVID-19 pandemic has also affected the growth of the global soil moisture sensor market. Pandemic has affected both the demand and supply of soil moisture sensor across the world. In many countries situation such as lockdown has stopped manufacturing which has significantly contributed in the market disruption. Due to restrictions, there could not be a regular material supply, while most of the soil moisture sensor plants stopped productions temporarily region and the recent commerce imposition of preliminary duties on all soil moisture sensor imports may further affect the market negatively. Most projects in number of countries have been postponed. These plants are facing short-term operational problems due to supply chain constraints and the inaccessibility of factories due to the COVID-19 outbreak. In spite of these factors, agricultural activities continued, and the demand for soil moisture sensors from farmers prevailed.

The soil moisture sensor market is segmented by product, type, application, and region & country level. On the basis of product, the market is divided into tensiometric, volumetric and solid-state sensors. On the basis of type, the market is divided into analog and digital. By application, the market is divided into agriculture, research and others.

Rising Adoption of Modern Agricultural Practices, Continuous Invention of New Advanced Technologies and Increasing Adoption of Soil Moisture Sensor Drive the Market Growth

Factor such as rising demand for modern agricultural applications like different sensors supplements the demand for soil moisture sensors. Rising adoption of new agricultural practices are also boosting the soil moisture sensor market. The use of soil moisture sensors in farming lands has enhanced the farm’s productivity and there has been a decline in water consumption by farms. The soil moisture sensors help to avoid in excess of irrigation problems.

For instance; Kerlink Company entered into a partnership with Sensoterra to allow the farmers to make data-controlled land-management decisions and consequently reduce their water consumption by 30 percent. Soil moisture sensor is used to measure accurate moisture contain in soil which helps farmers to increase yield, maintain soil health, and enhance water conservation.

In addition, continuous invention of new advanced technology like wireless soil moisture sensor is also projected to foster the market growth. For example; in August 2017, The Toro Company announced the launch of wireless sensor technology, namely the ‘Turf Guard Soil Monitoring System’. The recently launched system consists of an advanced wireless mesh network technology that monitors the moisture level, soil temperature, and salinity level. Moreover, sports sector make use of soil moisture sensors to maintain the grounds which is another driving factor for the soil moisture sensor market.

For example; soil moisture sensors are used to maintain golf turfs the rise in such practice will be addition to the market of soil moisture sensors. Investment made by the governments for the betterment of the sports grounds and need for controlled grass growth on sports outfields is mainly responsible for the segment growth.

However, the lack of awareness among the farmers and use of traditional farming practices may hinder the market growth. In spite of that, factors like the rising awareness among government agencies and increasing number of agricultural research projects may create several opportunities for market players and significantly spurring the demand for soil moisture sensor.

North America is Expected to Dominate the Global Soil Moisture Sensor Market.

North America is expected to dominate the global soil moisture sensor market due to the technological developments in agricultural field, presence of key market players and necessitating the use of soil moisture sensors in this region. Technological advancements in agricultural field drives the market in this region. Farmers from North America have relatively greater awareness regarding the benefits associated with the use of soil moisture sensors. Also, the farmers have been receiving sufficient support to adopt mechanized farming practices from organizations like The Nature Conservancy, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the National Research Council.
