New record for the Italian Agriculture 4.0 market, which in 2023 reached a turnover of two and a half billion euros, a 19 percent increase compared to the previous year. This is the finding of a recent study conducted by the Smart Agrifood Observatory of the School of Management of the Politecnico di Milano. The study highlights that although investments continue their growth trend, in a year characterized by the significant impact of climate change on the national primary sector, the areas of investment for Italian agricultural companies are changing.
Connected machinery and monitoring and control systems still represent about half of the market, but several factors, including the progressive reduction of state incentives, have led to a decline in these two types of products in favor of software aimed at collecting and analyzing operational data.
Almost unchanged compared to 2022 is the number of Italian companies using at least one digital solution in their production cycles, accounting for 72 percent of the total. The growth of the 4.0 technologies sector is driven by those companies that have embarked on digitalization paths for several years and are therefore more likely to continue evolving in this direction.
