Technavio analysts highlight the following three factors that are contributing to the growth of the global agricultural robots market:
- Advances in computing and communications
- Precision agriculture gaining traction
- Developments in the sensor market
Advances in computing and communications
“Key vendors in the market are innovating their agricultural drones and robots in tune with the technological advances to expand their offerings and gain a competitive advantage in the market. Also, sensors have been upgraded with the ability to improve the adaptive and intelligent capabilities of these drones,” says Raghav Bharadwaj Shivaswamy, a lead analyst at Technavio for robotics research.
The latest drones in the market are capable of performing predetermined functions, provide excellent quality images, and gather environmental data regarding features such as temperature, salinity, depth, and currents. With more technological advances underway, future drones are expected to have intelligent capabilities, with the UAVs expected to be capable of autonomous behavior.
Precision agriculture gaining traction
Precision farming – a farm management process, is bringing about a paradigm shift in agriculture. The technique involves the observation, measurement, and response to variability in crops. Its primary goal is to optimize the utilization of farm resources and ensure maximum yield. A major method followed to attain this goal is to minimize the crop health variability within and across fields, by measuring agricultural variables such as yield, soil content, and weed growth; and subsequently apply specific treatments. The method is widely adopted in the areas of Europe, the US, and Australia, where farms are large, and the business models emphasize on maximizing profitability.
Developments in the sensor market
Vendors in the agricultural robots market are capitalizing on the availability of mobile, intelligent, and connected sensors to improve the capabilities of their product offerings. Another major factor that is expected to impact the growth of the market is the miniaturization of sensors, which has led to a reduction in costs of sensors, and thereby the products in which they are used.
“The continued price decline of sensors has led to the emergence of more affordable robotic parking systems. Sensors with the ability to improve the adaptive and intelligent capabilities of drones have had a huge positive impact on the agricultural robots market,” says Raghav.
