Increasing Rural Smartphone Penetration: Approximately 410 million new smartphone users are expected to be added to India’s current user base by 2025, with majority demand coming from rural areas. Factors such as accessibility in vernacular languages and demand for consumption of entertainment content through videos and audio are contributing to double digit year-on-year growth in rural smartphone users. This growth will lead to higher number of agriculture related apps being downloaded and in turn is expected to stimulate higher adoption of agritech solutions in future.

Geographical Expansion: Agritech start-ups are expected to expand their geographical presence to various states across India most initial pilot projects in few states. The move would enable platforms to increase their penetration & establish a stronger brand name in farming communities. Precision farming, advisory and analytics players are expected to also focus on international expansion.
