Executive Summary

Agricultural robots are robotic systems designed to enhance various agricultural processes by automating labor-intensive or time-consuming tasks, ultimately making farming operations more efficient, quicker, and productive.

The primary types of agricultural robots include milking robots, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones, automated harvesting systems, and driverless tractors, among others. Milking robots automate the entire milking process by employing a combination of manual and mechanical systems to milk and manage cows. These robots offer a range of solutions, including hardware, software, and services, applied to the cultivation of fruits and vegetables, field crops, dairy and livestock, both in indoor and outdoor farming environments. They find application in harvest management, field farming, dairy and livestock management, soil and irrigation management, and various other agricultural tasks.

The agriculture robots market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides agriculture robots market statistics, including agriculture robots industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with agriculture robots market share, detailed agriculture robots market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the agriculture robots industry. This agriculture robots market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The agriculture robots market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $6.71 billion in 2023 to $8.37 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.7%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including labor shortages, the adoption of precision agriculture practices, increasing labor costs, the demand for higher yields, and the influence of government subsidies and incentives.

The agriculture robots market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.45 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the emergence of Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS), sustainability mandates, global population growth, a heightened focus on environmental monitoring, and increased attention to urban agriculture. Major trends expected in the forecast period encompass the integration of robotics in autonomous tractors, the use of robots for weeding operations, the development of modular and customizable robotic systems, innovations in robotic soil management, and the introduction of robotic harvesting solutions.

The upward trajectory of the agriculture robots market is significantly driven by the increasing adoption of automation technology. This technology streamlines processes with minimal human intervention, employing programmed commands and automatic feedback for precise execution. In agriculture, automation serves to enhance farm management technologies, optimizing day-to-day tasks and bolstering crop and livestock production. Its application in dairy farms focuses on enhancing profitability, animal welfare, lifestyle, and milk quality by leveraging robots for milking, cattle health monitoring, labor-intensive tasks like feeding, and more. Notably, Formstack, a US-based software company, reported in May 2023 that 76% of organizations implement automation for daily workflows, with 58% utilizing it for data and reporting automation for planning purposes, while 36% use it for regulatory compliance. This surge in automation adoption significantly fuels the growth of the agriculture robots market.

The burgeoning expenses associated with labor are poised to drive the expansion of the agriculture robots market. Labor costs encompass the total expenditures incurred by organizations in compensating their workforce. Agriculture robots offer a solution to mitigate these costs by automating repetitive tasks such as planting, weeding, and harvesting with heightened precision and efficiency, thereby reducing reliance on manual labor. Notably, according to the United States Department of Agriculture's August 2023 report, the average hourly wage for agricultural managers surged to $27.57 in 2022, marking a notable 7.9% increase from 2021. This substantial rise in labor costs significantly contributes to the escalating growth of the agriculture robots market.

Technological advancement stands out as a pivotal trend driving traction within the agriculture robot market. Key market players focus extensively on research and development to advance product offerings and sustain their competitive edge. A compelling illustration is Future Acres, a US-based company specializing in autonomous harvesting machines, which introduced Carry in February 2021. Carry, an AI-based crop-transporting robot, collaborates with human workers in delicately transporting hand-picked crops at grape farms, alleviating the physical strain of manual transportation. Capable of transporting up to 500 lbs across all terrains and weather conditions, Carry has notably increased production efficiency by 30% in fields, underscoring the transformative impact of technological advancements within the agriculture robot domain.

Prominent players within the agriculture robots sphere are spearheading innovative technological advancements, exemplified by Solix, an autonomous crop monitoring robot designed to deliver dependable services to customers. Launched by Solinftec, a Brazil-based ag-tech company in May 2022, Solix represents a cutting-edge solution that meticulously monitors crops plant-by-plant, striking a balance between efficiency and productivity. Its primary objective is to offer real-time insights into fields. Solix operates on solar power and incorporates lithium-ion batteries for energy storage. Equipped with onboard cameras, sensors, and AI technology, the robot diligently monitors plant health, detects insect damage, and identifies field alterations, underscoring a significant leap in precision agriculture.

In a strategic move in September 2021, AGCO Corporation, a leading US-based manufacturer and distributor of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, undertook the acquisition of Farm Robotics and Automation S.L. (Faromatics), marking a pivotal undisclosed investment. AGCO Corporation's intent behind this acquisition is to fortify its suite of smart farming solutions and expedite innovations in farm technology, ultimately enabling customers to achieve heightened profitability while enhancing animal welfare.
