The global Agriculture Autonomous Robots Market was valued at $3.92 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $10.50 billion in 2027, growing at a CAGR of 19.16% during the forecast period 2022-2027. The growth in the global agriculture autonomous robots market is expected to be driven by increasing demand for food and the growing need for precision, digital, and smart agriculture practices.

Market Lifecycle Stage

The agriculture autonomous robots market is still in an evolving phase. Increased research and development activities are underway to develop agriculture autonomous robotic technologies and products, which are expected to increase due to the increased demand for food and the need for automation in the agriculture sector.

Increasing investment in smart agriculture is one of the major opportunities in the global agriculture autonomous robots market. Moreover, agriculture autonomous robot technologies also help in reducing crop losses due to undetected pest infestation and diseases. The agriculture autonomous robots also facilitate the safe and quality harvesting and picking of crops including fruits and vegetables.

Impact

•    With an increased worldwide focus on achieving the global food demand, the shift to digital, smart, and data-driven products in the agriculture sectors brings significant sales and financing opportunities. The shift is more prominent in automation and robotics segments in regions such as North America and Europe.

•    Furthermore, agriculture autonomous robots have a moderate to high impact on crop protection systems to reduce crop losses due to crop diseases and pest infestations.

Impact of COVID-19

In the wake of the pandemic, labor shortages have caused disruptions in the agricultural processes, thereby leading every country to re-emphasize food security and increase domestic food production. With an aim to solve labor shortages, the increased application of automated technologies such as sensors, data analytics, robotics, and others have been introduced into the production system. Each country continued to promote policies on increasing the adoption of agriculture autonomous robots techniques, which have proved to be the appropriate solution.

Market Segmentation:

Segmentation 1: by Application

•    Crop Monitoring

•    Inventory Management

•    Harvesting and Picking

•    Dairy Farm Management
