Asia-Pacific Agricultural Sprayer Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Asia-Pacific Agricultural Sprayer Market Analysis

The Asia-Pacific Agricultural Sprayer Market size is estimated at USD 4.09 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 5.25 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 4.90% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Agricultural sprayers play a crucial role in modern farming, safeguarding broadacre, fruit, and vegetable crops against pests, diseases, and weeds. The Asia-Pacific region demonstrates a strong demand for these machines, driven by the need for enhanced productivity and a decreasing agricultural workforce. The anticipated high economic growth in the region is anticipated to further propel the agricultural sprayer market in the coming years.

In India, small and marginal farmers make up 83% of the farming population, holding 46.1% of the land and contributing 51.2% to production, according to the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, India. These farmers typically use knapsack sprayers due to their affordability and ease of use, despite lower outputs. The market has experienced growth with the introduction of solar-powered sprayers that address battery issues. The integration of Artificial Intelligence and robotics, along with government initiatives, has increased demand for agricultural sprayers. For instance, in March 2023, the Indian government offered a 40% subsidy for fertilizer treatment sprayers in Uttar Pradesh, promoting their use to improve crop productivity.

Similarly to India, China is experiencing significant developments in its agricultural sector. China's grain planting area reached 119 million hectares in 2023, a 0.5% increase from the previous year according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), China, positively impacting the agricultural sprayer market. The country faces challenges with an aging farming population and rapid youth migration to urban areas, driving the adoption of agricultural sprayers. China's urbanization rate reached 66.16% in 2023, a 0.94% increase from the previous year, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). To support grain farmers, the Chinese government issued USD 1.4 billion in subsidies for purchasing agricultural materials in 2023.

While India and China are advancing in agricultural technology adoption, Japan stands out as the leader in the region. Japan is recognized as the Asia-Pacific country with the highest level of agricultural mechanization. As a highly industrialized nation, Japan's agriculture equipment industry is fully developed. According to the ITC trade map, the exported quantity of portable agricultural sprayers from Japan in 2023 was 5.71 million units, up from 5.17 million units in 2022. The United States and the Netherlands are the top importing countries of portable agricultural sprayers from Japan, with value shares of 50.2% and 35%, respectively. Therefore, with growing support from the government authorities accompanied by factors such as reduced agricultural labor and technological innovations, the Asia-Pacific Agricultural sprayer Market is anticipated to witness an upward trend during the forecasted years.
