Agricultural Robots Market - An Overview.

1. Agricultural Robots Market - An Overview The market for agricultural robots was valued at USD 4.11 billion in 2020, and by 2026, it is projected to reach up to USD 11.9 billion, expanding at a CAGR of 19.38%. The natural extension of automation and low-cost technology into biosystems including agriculture, horticulture, and livestock is known as agricultural robotics. The population growth that has put enormous strain on the agricultural industry and the manpower scarcity that it is experiencing are the main reasons driving the need for agricultural robots. The high cost of automation for smaller lands is the main barrier preventing the market for agricultural robots from growing. The succeeding rounds of automation, which include agriculture robots, have mostly left smaller farms behind. According to Agriculture Market Research Companies, real-time multimodal robot use in the fields is the market's main growth potential. It is now possible to combine several robot and autonomous system types in a holistic manner. Harvesting & picking robots Robotic harvesting and picking are especially useful for high-value commodities like wine grapes, where harvesting is typically time-consuming and labour-intensive. Mechatronics, materials science, and nanotechnology advancements enable picking robots to not only identify fruits and gauge their ripeness but also to grip and separate them without breaking them.

2. Future Farming claims that in the not too distant future, crops including broccoli, citrus fruits, cauliflower, kiwi fruit, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, lettuce, mangos, and watermelon may be harvested using harvest robots and even harvest drones. Some field robots can even replace tractor functions including mowing, sowing, crop care, and soil cultivation. Weeding robots Once more, high-value crops seem to provide the best commercial opportunities for weeding robots, including some varieties of lettuce, strawberries, blueberries, oranges and other citrus fruits, and winery grapes. These robots are especially helpful in areas with steep terrain that is hazardous for personnel and machinery. Weeding robots using precision technology can also deliver targeted dosages of herbicides to the weeds but not the crops, thereby reducing the number of herbicides used. Milking robots Dairy producers are switching from conventional to automated milking systems in order to satisfy the exponential increase in global milk demand on the one hand and address manpower shortages on the other since milking robots aid to boost the productivity and yield of the milking process. In the upcoming years, it is anticipated that the market share would change from standalone units to multi-stall units and eventually to advanced rotary units. Systems for automated barn cleaning and feeding are also assisting in raising sector productivity. Drones/UAVs Due to the growing acceptance of drones in agricultural applications, the global market for agricultural drones is anticipated to expand steadily until at least 2021. Drones, commonly referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles, are used by agribusinesses, among other things, to collect information for soil analysis, planting, crop spraying, crop monitoring, irrigation, and evaluations of the health of animals. Especially from China, additional market competitors with reasonably priced goods are anticipated as component prices decline and stability and dependability increase.
