The global 5G smart farming market size is expected to reach USD 113.16 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “5G Smart Farming Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Component (Hardware, Software, and Services), Application, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The 5G smart farming market demand is largely driven by government initiatives worldwide that promote the adoption of advanced agricultural technologies. Governments in major countries are investing heavily in 5G technologies and digital initiatives to foster smart farming methods. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China, the government plans to deploy over 5G base stations in rural areas by 2025, aiming to enhance agricultural efficiency through real-time data analytics and automation. In Australia, Dec 2024 the Department of Agriculture, Water, and the Environment launched an Agtech initiative to support smart farming practices amid high demand for farm products and a labor shortage. Similarly, various governments worldwide are offering incentives for businesses and local farmers to embrace digital agriculture. These global efforts to integrate 5G and digital technologies into farming are expected to drive the market's exponential growth. By enhancing connectivity, data analytics, and automation, these government-backed programs are paving the way for more efficient and sustainable agricultural practices, thereby accelerating the adoption and expansion of 5G smart farming solutions across the globe.
The rapid 5G smart farming market expansion is attributed to the increasing labor costs and shortages faced by the agricultural sector. High labor costs are pushing farmers to seek more cost-effective solutions, while a shortage of skilled labor exacerbates the need for automation. According to the US Department of Agriculture, labor costs have risen by ∼20% over the past decade, and many farms are struggling to find qualified workers. In response, 5G-enabled smart farming technologies offer a viable solution by automating tasks and improving efficiency. For example, the deployment of 5G can enhance the capabilities of autonomous tractors and drones, reducing the need for manual labor. Similarly, the UK's Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs reports a growing trend in the use of technology to address labor shortages. As such, the drive toward smart farming solutions is increasingly being fueled by these economic pressures and workforce challenges.
