Soil is a vital natural resource, it has been unheeded in the past and which led to disastrous results. For Instance- The dust bowl of North America in 1930. Now the role of soil health in our environment is taken more seriously. There has been a huge transformation in the ways of soil monitoring. In earlier days it was going out taking samples and comparing them with existing knowledge of soil information but now once place the soil moisture sensor then sit back and relax it will do all the work and give you the volumetric water content in percent.

The Soil Moisture Sensor measures the volumetric water content of the soil. This makes soil moisture sensor ideal for experiments in courses such as agricultural science, horticulture, biology, botany, soil science, and environmental science. The water content of the soil is measured using the principle of capacitance. The soil moisture sensors are very easy to use and they provide readings of volumetric water content in percent.

Drivers, Restraints, and Trends

The use of soil moisture sensors in areas other than research and development is a rising trend in the soil moisture market.

The agricultural applications of the soil moisture sensor market are the major driving factor of the market. Increased adoption of modern agricultural practices is boosting the soil moisture sensor market. The use of soil moisture sensors in agricultural lands has improved the farm's productivity and there has been a reduction in water consumption by farms. The soil moisture sensors help to avoid over-irrigation problems.

The scope of soil moisture sensors is increasing day by day, and the use of soil moisture sensors in residential areas is aiding the soil moisture sensor market. This helps residential society maintain green lawns and also helps builders to get an idea of the water content in the soil which helps them lay the foundation for construction accordingly.

The soil moisture market is now backed by the sports segment, which has resulted in increased demand for soil moisture sensors to maintain the grounds. For instance, soil moisture sensors are used to maintain golf turfs the rise in such practice will be an addition to the market of soil moisture sensors.

Weather Forecasters make use of soil moisture sensors which is another driving factor for the soil moisture sensor market. As soil moisture sensors help provide a reading that is helpful in weather forecasting.

Research Studies are among other factors driving the soil moisture market. Rising awareness among government agencies will help in the expansion and strengthening of the soil moisture market. Increase in the number of agricultural research projects.

The restraint of the soil moisture sensor market is the lack of awareness among the farmers. The use of traditional farming practices is hindering the exponential growth of the soil moisture sensor market.

Segmentation of Soil Moisture Sensor Market

The soil moisture sensor market is segmented based on type, end-user, and region. Soil moisture sensor market segmentation based on type is done into soil water potential sensors and volumetric soil moisture sensors. Further soil water potential sensors are sub-segmented into tensiometer, gypsum block, and time domain reflectometry. Based on end-user soil moisture sensor market is segmented as residential, ground care, construction, sports turf, research studies, and weather forecasting. The soil moisture sensor market is segmented into seven key regions: North America, South America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Asia Pacific, Japan, and Middle East Africa.
