The ecological elements inside and outside of plants and animals are converted into electrical signals for control system recognition, providing a basis for decision-making in smart agriculture. With the rapid development of smart agriculture in China, agricultural sensors have ushered in opportunities and challenges. Based on a literature review and data statistics, this paper analyzes the market prospects and market scale of agricultural sensors in China from four perspectives: field farming, facility farming, livestock and poultry farming and aquaculture. The study further predicts the demand for agricultural sensors in 2025 and 2035. The results reveal that China\u2019s sensor market has a good development prospect. However, the paper garnered the key challenges of China\u2019s agricultural sensor industry, including a weak technical foundation, poor enterprise research capacity, high importation of sensors and a lack of financial support. Given this, the agricultural sensor market should be comprehensively distributed in terms of policy, funding, expertise and innovative technology. In addition, this paper highlighted integrating the future development direction of China\u2019s agricultural sensor technology with new technologies and China\u2019s agricultural development needs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23063307","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,21]],"date-time":"2023-03-21T10:56:48Z","timestamp":1679396208000},"page":"3307","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Analysis of the Development Status and Prospect of China\u2019s Agricultural Sensor Market under Smart Agriculture"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Ning","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing 100081, China"}]},{"given":"Beibei","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering Research Center for Information Technology Research in Agricultural, Beijing 100097, China"}]},{"given":"Yahui","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering Research Center for Information Technology Research in Agricultural, Beijing 100097, China"}]},{"given":"Yuanjinsheng","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, China University of Geosciences (Beijing), Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6309-409X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuyun","family":"Bi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing 100081, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8078-126X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patience Afi","family":"Seglah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing 100081, China"}]},{"given":"Chunyu","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing 100081, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"State-of-the-art and recommended developmental strategic objective of smart agriculture","volume":"1","author":"Zhao","year":"2019","journal-title":"Smart Agric."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"263","DOI":"10.1016\/j.csi.2011.03.004","article-title":"A review of wireless sensors and networks\u2019 applications in agriculture","volume":"36","author":"Abu","year":"2014","journal-title":"Comput.
