Demand for driverless tractor and increasing application of robots for indoor farming, dairy management, and horticulture are the factors responsible for the growth of the agriculture robotics market.
Agricultural robots are also called as agbot, which is deployed for agricultural purposes. Farming evolves huge human efforts, so to reduce human resources in agriculture, robots are being implanted to replace human. Further better precision, weed control and error-free working in fields are emerging application of robots.
Agriculture robots are deployed for horticultural activities such as spraying, pruning, and monitoring. Also, these robots are used for livestock applications, for instance, castrating, automatic milking, and washing.
Agriculture robotics market: drivers and restraints
Replace the farmer’s effort with smart robots is the major driver propelling the growth of the market. Also, population all across the world is increasing, which is fuelling the demand for more crop production, thus piloting the growth of agriculture robotics market during the forecast period.
The government of emerging nation such as India and China is focussing on launching a smart farmer project, which is anticipated to create huge industry expansion opportunity in the nearer future. Further, the demand for driverless tractor and increasing application of robots for indoor farming, dairy management, and horticulture are the other factors responsible for the growth of the agriculture robotics market.
High initial investment and skilled staff for accessing the robot are the two factors coupled together to challenge the growth of the agriculture robotics market in recent years. Apart from this, government subsidy and farmer development training programs may assist in overcoming the above mention challenge.
