The global soil moisture sensor market will grow at a CAGR of 14.56% during the forecast period.In terms of application, the agriculture was the largest segment in the market in 2015. This trend will continue during the forecast period as the governments of developed countries such as the US, the UK, Germany, Japan, and Australia,where advanced soil harnessing technologies are being employed, try to create more awareness about these technologies.A new development in the market was the launch of soil moisture mapping satellite by NASA in 2015. This satellite helps create accurate soil moisture maps and improve climate and weather forecasts. It also allows scientists to monitor droughts and predict flooding caused by severe rainfall or snowmelt to forecast crop yields.
