The study involved four major activities in estimating the size of the precision farming software market. Exhaustive secondary research has been conducted to collect information on the market, the peer markets, and the parent market. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been employed to estimate the total market size. Market breakdown and data triangulation methods have also been used to estimate the market for segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
Revenues of companies offering precision farming software have been obtained from the secondary data available through paid and unpaid sources. The revenues have also been derived by analyzing the product portfolio of key companies, and these companies have been rated according to the performance and quality of their products.
Various secondary sources have been referred to in the secondary research process for identifying and collecting information important for this study. Secondary sources include corporate filings (such as annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements); trade, business, and professional associations; white papers; IoT technologies journals and certified publications; articles by recognized authors; gold-standard and silver-standard websites; directories; and databases.
Secondary research has been conducted mainly to obtain critical information about the market’s value chain, the total pool of key players, market classification and segmentation according to the industry trends to the bottom-most level, geographic markets, and key developments from both demand- and technology-oriented perspectives. Secondary data has been collected and analyzed to determine the overall market size, further validated by primary research.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research has been conducted after understanding and analyzing the current scenario of the precision farming software market through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with key opinion leaders from both demand and supply sides across 4 major regions: Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and RoW. Approximately 25% of the primary interviews have been conducted with the demand side, while 75% have been conducted with the supply side. Primary data has been collected mainly through telephonic interviews, which consist of 80% of the total primary interviews. questionnaires and e-mails have also been used to collect data.
After interacting with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primary. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report. The breakdown of primary respondents is as follows:
