Agricultural Robots and Mechatronics Market

Global Agricultural Robots and Mechatronics Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global agricultural robots and mechatronics market size is expected to reach USD 17.38 billion in 2024 and reach USD 53.02 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 25% from 2024 to 2029.

Increasing prevalence to increase the productivity rate with high effectiveness is leveraging the growth opportunities for the agriculture robots and mechatronics market.

Agriculture robots and mechatronics are machines that increase the efficiency of the task by performing the task better than humans. This machine can operate in crops and animal farms without any relation to the weather conditions. These machines perform all sorts of agriculture operations like crop and animal sensing, weeding and drilling, and others.

Market Drivers

Less availability of labor, even in rural areas, and rising labor costs across the globe are major factors for the market to grow enormously. The rapid adoption of the latest technologies and the launch of innovative techniques in improving production are propelling the demand for the agriculture robots and mechatronics market. The growing prevalence of organic food products is leveling up the market growth. According to the survey, the global population is expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050. The rising population across the world and growing demand for food are eventually making the market grow at a higher rate. Also, agricultural robots and mechatronics are more effective in making high production with fewer errors, which is projected to lavish the demand of the market. The adoption of modern technology, where traditional methods are not that effective in feeding the growing population, is elevating the growth rate of the agricultural robots and mechatronics market.

Market Restraints

However, the high installment cost of the robots that common farmers cannot afford is a major factor restraining the growth rate of the agricultural robots and mechatronics market. Less knowledge of the benefits of robots in agriculture is slowly degrading the demand of the market to an extent. High maintenance is also a factor hampering the market growth to some extent. Still, some of the agricultural robots are under design and are waiting for approval. These robots are not yet ready for commercial deployment in many countries. This is merely impeding the demand for agricultural robots and the mechatronics market. Rising concern over privacy is also hindering the growth rate of this market.

Impact Of COVID-19 On Agricultural Robots And Mechatronics Market

COVID-19 is a deadly disease that ruined many lives in distinct ways. The global economy was severely disrupted due to the pandemic. Lockdown and ban on flights majorly affected the supply chain in many countries. Agricultural robots are in talks during these tough times to maximize the production rate and reduce human efforts. Fully autonomous vehicles are used by many farmers in developing countries, which is surging the demand of the agricultural robots and mechatronics market in these tough times. The growing prevalence of increasing food productivity at a higher rate to sustain the needs of various parts of the globe is anticipated to fuel the growth rate of the market. During the lockdown restrictions, over 70% of migrant laborers went to their homes town, which escalated the prevalence of adopting agriculture robots. The National Farmers Union has decided to promote agriculture robots to overcome the uncertainties of labor shortages.
