Agriculture and climate change are interrelated, thus climate change on global scale significantly impacts the agricultural production. The climate change that effects agriculture includes change in average temperature, atmosphere, rainfall, and extreme weather such as heat wave, change in ozone concentration, and change in nutritional quality of food. For instance, the agriculture zone that is said to be affected by such climate issues is Brazil,  is expected to witness a decline of 10% in maize production by 2055. Similarly, Eastern Australia and Midwestern U.S. are projected to experience decline in agriculture production owing to extreme heat. Whereas, in Central and Eastern Europe, forest productivity of the region is expected to decrease owing to scarcity of water. These severe climatic conditions play an important role in the deployment of IoT-based technology in agriculture to optimize the production and efficiency of the farm.

Factors such as the rise in global population and increase in demand for food across the globe have fueled the adoption of new technology to optimize agriculture production, and are expected to boost the IOT in agriculture market Growth. In addition, climate change plays a significant role in impacting global agriculture production. Thus, severe weather condition supports the deployment of IoT-based technology to optimize agriculture production. However, the agriculture industry comprises of numerous small players that provide solutions for various stages of the agriculture value chain. As a few of the agricultural processes achieve economic feasibility, the growth of the market is expected to be hampered during the IOT in agriculture Market Forecast period.

The agriculture industry consists of various small players that offer solution for various stages of agriculture value chain. Moreover, the industry does not have a major player that provides solution for the complete agriculture value chain. Thus, farmers find it difficult to achieve economic scalability by deployment of solution and services that are offered by smaller players. For instance, solution on reduction of cost for storage or transportation do not help farmers to achieve economic feasibility or maximize return on investment (ROI). Thus, fragmented agriculture market restrains the growth of the IoT in agriculture market.

Nevertheless, an increase in smartphone users and internet penetration among farmers boost their awareness about the latest developments in the agriculture market, which is anticipated to drive IOT in agriculture market growth.
