Which industry factors have accelerated the harvesting robot market’s expansion?
The rise in the adoption of automation in agriculture is expected to drive the growth of the harvesting robot market going forward. Automation in agriculture refers to using technology and machinery to perform agricultural tasks with minimal human intervention. It involves the application of advanced tools, such as robotics, sensors, drones, and artificial intelligence (AI), to streamline farming processes, increase efficiency, and reduce labor dependency. The rise in automation in agriculture is driven by the need to improve efficiency, reduce labor costs, and address the growing demand for food. Harvesting robots provide a solution by automating fruit and vegetable picking tasks, leading to increased investment in scalable, long-term solutions. For instance, in 2022, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization, an Italy-based United Nations agency for food security, reported that, approximately 14% of agricultural retailers in the United States offered drone-based input application services, this figure projected to rise to 29% by 2024. Therefore, the rise in the adoption of automation in agriculture is driving the growth of the harvesting robot market.
