SUMMARY

In this report, BCC Research examines soil moisture sensor technologies and their current market applications globally. The analysis includes a detailed survey of new organizations (innovators) in the market as well as existing players. At the industry level, BCC Research identifies, examines, describes and provides global and regional market sizes for 2016 and forecasts demand from 2017 through 2022. While a wide range of companies operate in the market, below is a broad classification of these companies:

• Niche soil moisture sensor manufacturers.
• Large agricultural technology vendors.
• Conglomerates with presence in the soil moisture sensor space.
• Sensor manufacturers with a presence in the soil moisture sensor space.

North America is the largest and most prominent user of soil moisture sensors in the world. North America is expected to see a strong growth rate in the coming years. However, it is expected to be slightly lower than average market growth, which will result in a decline in its market share by 2022. In terms of market size, North America is followed by Europe, which is also expected to see a slower than average growth rate. Asia-Pacific on the other hand is the strongest growing market and will see significant an increase in its market share.

In the analysis presented in this report, BCC Research identified the following key points:

• Global demand for soil moisture sensors is estimated to have reached REDACTED in 2016.
• Global demand is expected to increase from REDACTED in 2017 to REDACTED in 2022.
• Total geographically and product-wide CAGR is projected to be REDACTED over the forecast period of 2017 through 2022, indicating strong growth.
