Soil Moisture Sensor Market: Overview

A soil moisture sensor is an electronic device used for detecting the moisture or water content in the soil. The demand for soil moisture sensors is flourishing worldwide for diversified applications, such as conservation of water resources, prevention of soil degradation, and wetland detection. A soil moisture sensor mainly uses two components—potentiometer for adjustment of sensitivity and LEDs for display.

The demand for soil moisture monitoring is escalating worldwide due to the increasing water expenses and the rising need for improvising water productivity. Soil moisture sensors continuously monitor water levels that help farmers in optimizing their water usage. Farmers are significantly relying on soil moisture sensors for interpreting the actual soil water condition and specific water needs of crops. This is the primary growth factor of the soil moisture sensor market globally. The market demand for soil moisture sensor is also fuelled by these sensors’ significant contribution in taking relevant irrigation decisions. With the help of soil moisture sensors, one can confidently decide the amount of water and correct time for irrigation to prevent low-quality crop production. Thus, to produce maximum yield farmers immensely rely on crop feasibility.

Soil moisture sensors mainly indicate scarcity or reduction in water level, which helps in maintaining the overall crop yield. The worldwide adoption of soil moisture sensors is increasing as it not only assists farmers in maintaining accurate water needs of crops but also prevents the degradation of water resources. The market for soil moisture sensor is propelling worldwide, due to its significant contributions to the agriculture sector, as these sensors enhance the overall food production. However, inconsistency in data accuracy may hinder this market growth to some extent. Alternatively, effective irrigation techniques require accurate soil moisture data for maintaining effective water consumption. Being an electronic device, small moisture sensors sometimes fail to provide correct data and might show variations in output.

Soil Moisture Sensor Market: Segmentation

The global soil moisture Sensor Market is segmented based on product, application, and region.

By product, the global soil moisture sensor market is bifurcated into soil water potential and volumetric. The soil water potential segment is further classified into tensiometer, granular matrix sensors, and gypsum block. The volumetric segment comprises time domain transmissiometry (TDT) sensors, capacitance sensors, and probes. Volumetric soil moisture sensors are projected to dominate over the forecast timeframe, as volumetric soil moisture sensors require minimal or no calibration at the initial installation stage.

The application segment of the soil moisture sensor market consists of landscaping, weather forecast, residential, sports turf, forestry, research, and construction and mining.
