Description
Agricultural robots and mechatronics are machines used in agriculture as substitutes for human labor and performing tasks starting from plowing to harvesting which is better than humans. Such machinery is designed in a manner that it can operate in all weather conditions, constrained environmental conditions and in crops as well as animal farms.
End-User /Technology
The end-users of this market are as the followings:
• Farmers
• Agricultural applications
Target audience
• Suppliers
• R&D institutes
• Technology providers
• Dealers
Market Dynamics
The major factor that drives the market is the necessity to increase the production and reduce costs simultaneously. Such technology reduces human intervention to a great extent. They are much more efficient, and most importantly help in avoiding the harmful effects of chemicals used in agriculture on humans, especially in indoor farming, and at the same time are able to work in all weather conditions. The major obstacle in the market is the affordability. Robots and mechatronics are a huge investment for farmers. Different farms require different farming methods and thus the same robot cannot be used for all types of farms. Even though this technology is fast evolving, there is still a large scope of development needed in agricultural applications.
Market Segmentation
The Global Agricultural Robots and Mechatronics Market is segmented into the following depending on the type of usage:
• Autonomous tractors
• UAVs
• Agrochemical applicators
• Milking devices
• Others
Usage area segmentation is done on the basis of:
• Animal farming
• Crop production
• Forest control
Market studies manifest that crop production is the largest segment in terms of revenue. It is also growing at a faster rate in comparison to others. Robotic milking devices are widespread in developed countries and can be termed as a successful adoption of mechatronic robots in farming.
Regional/Geographical Analysis
North America is the largest market with many established companies, further followed by Asia-Pacific and Europe. Factors such as the decreasing farmlands and growing population make Asia-Pacific, an immense opportunity for this market. However, due to abundant cheap labor in these countries technology adoption is low.
Opportunities
The Global Agricultural Robot and Mechatronics Market is anticipated to reach USD 8.82 billion by 2025.The dramatic changes in the agricultural industry further builds up the opportunity for such a market. The technological advancements and numerous innovations in robotics have multiplied the sales of the agricultural robots.
