Global Harvesting Robot Market 2020-2027: Agrobot, FFRobotics, Four Growers and Root AI Dominate

DUBLIN, Sept. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Harvesting Robot Market, By Robot Type (Semi-Autonomous, Fully Autonomous), By Harvesting Type (Fruit, Vegetable, Grain, Others), By Application (Outdoor, Greenhouse), By Region, Estimation & Forecast, 2017 - 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global harvesting robot market held a market value of USD 512.4 Million in 2020 and is forecasted to reach USD 1,827.9 Million by the year 2027. The market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 19.9% during the projected period.

Harvesting robots are meant for picking fruits automatically under certain environmental conditions. Growing demand for food security and gradually increasing awareness regarding smart agriculture are expected to fuel the market growth. Furthermore, the growing requirement for high productivity from existing farm areas coupled with the use of real-time multimodal robot systems in the field is anticipated to boost the market growth.

However, the inefficiency of harvesting robots is anticipated to restrain the market growth. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market growth, as major players in the market reported a slight decline in their sales of harvesting robots

Growth Influencers:

Growing demand for food security

Food security is measuring the availability of food and individuals' ability to access it. Demand for food security is increasing and with it, demand for automation in the agriculture sector and its various stages is also rising. One of these stages is harvesting. Rising demand for automation in the sector is also expected to drive market growth. The rapid increase in the global population has led researchers and scientists to work out ways for ensuring food security.

Gradually increasing awareness of smart agriculture

Smart agriculture is the usage of technologies like sensors, the internet of things, robots, location systems, and artificial intelligence on a farm. Rising awareness regarding smart agriculture is boosting the adoption of robots, including harvesting robots. Using harvesting robots in smart agriculture optimizes the food production process and improves quality. Advanced farming technology proves as an essential part of the farmer's daily work. This boosts the demand for market growth.
