Growth in each year reflects demand from the industries that buy the product, adoption of new technology, pricing, regulation and replacement cycles. Volume and price are modelled together, so revenue in each year equals volume multiplied by average price. The 2026 to 2036 compound annual growth rate of 5.2% is calculated from the resulting values.

The market is divided by feeder type, by end use, by accuracy class, by feed rate, by controller. The 25 largest countries are ranked by revenue earned from sales to buyers in each country, not by where the product is made.
