The global crop sprayer market has been segmented based on product, capacity, and region.
The crop sprayer global market by product has been segmented into fuel-based, electric, and handheld. Among these product types, in 2018, the global market was led by fuel-based and is projected to lead throughout the forecast period. The fuel-based crop sprayers run by use of conventional fuel such as diesel, gasoline, and petrol. The sprayer consists of an integrated or external spray tank, a high-pressure piston pump usually powered by a petrol engine, a pressure regulating valve and a hose. The fuel-based crop sprayers require expensive fuel and exhaust carbon dioxide as a pollutant that is harmful to the environment. These factors are expected to influence the demand for crop sprayers in the global market during the forecast period.
Based on capacity, the market has been segmented into ultra-low-volume sprayers, low-volume sprayers, and high-volume sprayers. Among these applications, the high-volume sprayers led the global crop sprayers market in 2018 and further expected to dominate during the forecast period. High volume sprayers usually spray solutions, prepared by mixing water with appropriate quantities of pesticides. This diluted mixture is sprayed by using hydraulic nozzles. The volume of liquid handled by high volume sprayers is more than 400 liters per hectare.
On the basis of region, the global market of crop sprayer is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), and the rest of the world (RoW).
