A trillion-yuan blue ocean market emerges, with the market scale continuing to expand.

Smart agriculture has become the prevailing trend in modern farming worldwide, with agricultural powerhouses including the United States, Germany, Israel, Japan, and Australia leading the global acceleration in smart farming adoption. According to BIS Research data, the global smart agriculture market reached $14.588 billion in 2021, with hardware systems accounting for 72% of the total market share. The market is projected to grow to $34.102 billion by 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.50% from 2021 to 2026.

In China, smart agriculture is transitioning from its nascent growth phase to comprehensive nationwide adoption, with applications expanding from government-led initiatives to industrial implementation. Under national policy guidance, the sector is progressing from pilot projects in economically advanced regions to full-scale deployment across the country. The primary adopters of smart farming technologies are also shifting from government entities and agricultural demonstration zones to widespread adoption throughout the entire agricultural supply chain.Market research from multiple institutions including the China Commercial Industry Research Institute and China Research Puhua Institute indicates China's smart agriculture market will reach approximately 100 billion yuan in 2024, maintaining a CAGR of about 15%. With AI technologies achieving mature application across various agricultural scenarios, smart farming solutions are becoming increasingly prevalent in industrial applications. Agricultural enterprises, family farms and other stakeholders are adopting these technologies and products at growing rates to enhance production efficiency and product quality, further accelerating market expansion.

Policy tailwinds gain momentum as smart agriculture enters new promotion phase

It is noteworthy that the 2025 Central No. 1 Document for the first time proposed "developing new quality productive forces in agriculture based on local conditions." At its core, this initiative leverages cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and low-altitude technology to comprehensively empower the entire agricultural industrial chain. This marks smart agriculture's transition from the "pilot exploration" phase to the "large-scale promotion" stage. Going forward, the pace of technology implementation and market penetration is expected to accelerate significantly, with likely increases in related R&D investments and policy subsidies.

Technological innovation drives accelerated implementation across application scenarios

In agricultural cultivation, managing vast fields requires reliable long-distance communication. High-performance modules are pivotal to this need. Take Qorvisys's O9201UD as an example: with its ultra-high transmission power and reception sensitivity, it can establish kilometer-range wireless networks, significantly reducing infrastructure costs. Supporting Wi-Fi 6 standards, it delivers speeds up to 1200Mbps with stable 2x2 MIMO connectivity - fully capable of supporting HD video transmission from drones for precision inspection and mapping. Furthermore, its industrial-grade operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C) ensures long-term stable performance even in harsh field conditions, making it a dependable choice for maintaining uninterrupted automated production.

In livestock farming, long-range and high-efficiency management is equally crucial. The high-bandwidth capabilities of the O9201UD module enable the deployment of HD cameras across large ranches or aquaculture bases for real-time, comprehensive remote monitoring. Additionally, the module integrates Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.4, serving as an ideal remote data gateway to collect health metrics from smart wearable devices (e.g., electronic ear tags) and transmit them via its robust long-range Wi-Fi. This stable and reliable connectivity also ensures the precise operation of automated feeding and environmental control systems, providing strong technical support for cost reduction and efficiency gains in the livestock industry.
