Agriculture Robots Global Market Report 2026

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.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the agriculture robots market by increasing costs of imported sensors, actuators, semiconductors, navigation systems, and robotic hardware components used in drones, autonomous tractors, and harvesting robots. North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on advanced imported electronics, while Asia-Pacific faces higher costs in robot manufacturing and export activities. These tariffs are increasing system prices and slowing adoption among small and mid-sized farms. However, they are also encouraging localized robot assembly, domestic software development, and regional innovation in cost-optimized agricultural robotics solutions.

The agriculture robots market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $10.23 billion in 2025 to $12.58 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing labor shortages in agriculture, rising adoption of controlled environment farming, expansion of large-scale commercial farms, improvements in robotic hardware reliability, growing availability of farm automation solutions.

The agriculture robots market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $28.2 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in autonomous farming technologies, rising demand for precision agriculture solutions, expansion of indoor and vertical farming operations, growing integration of robotics with farm management software, increasing focus on productivity optimization. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of autonomous field robots, rising use of drone-based crop monitoring, growing adoption of robotic harvesting systems, expansion of ai-enabled farm automation, enhanced integration of data-driven decision support.

The increase in the adoption of automation technology is driving the growth of the agriculture robots market going forward. Automation refers to technology that enables processes to function with minimal human intervention by using programmed commands and automatic feedback to ensure accurate execution. In agriculture, automation technology supports the development of more efficient tools for farm management and the execution of daily agricultural tasks to improve crop and livestock production. In dairy farming, automation enhances profitability, animal health, working conditions, and milk quality by deploying robots for milking, monitoring cattle health, conducting labor-intensive tasks such as feeding, and more. For example, in May 2023, according to Formstack, a US-based software company, 76% of organizations used automation to streamline daily workflows, 58% automated data and reporting for planning purposes, and 36% used automation to support regulatory compliance. Therefore, the increase in the adoption of automation technology is propelling the expansion of the agriculture robots market.

Major companies operating in the agriculture robots market are focusing on developing advanced autonomous mobility solutions to improve operational efficiency and reduce reliance on manual labor. Autonomous mobility incorporates wire-guided and self-driving capabilities to execute tasks with limited human intervention while navigating complex farming environments. For instance, in February 2025, Daedong, a South Korea-based agricultural machinery manufacturer, introduced the agricultural transport robot RT100, available in both wire-guided and autonomous versions. The RT100 reduces manual effort in fruit harvesting and transport by following users at a preset distance. It can rotate 360 degrees to maneuver through narrow orchard paths, operates quietly without vibrations or emissions, and is suitable for indoor tasks. The robot features a four-wheel drive system designed for rough terrain, a maximum loading capacity of 300 kg, and lift and dump functions. Additionally, its autonomous driving mode, configurable through a user settings menu, enhances efficiency and addresses labor shortages, contributing to improved productivity in modern agriculture.
