Agriculture Robots Market: Trends, Forecast & Analysis

 

Meticulous Research®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled, 'Agriculture Robots Market by Offering (Hardware, Software), Deployment (Indoor, Outdoor), Automation Type (Automated, Semi-automated), and End Use (Crop Farming, Livestock, Forestry, Fishery), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2031.’

According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research®, in terms of value, the agricultural robots market is projected to reach $28.2 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 16.6% during the forecast period. Also, in terms of volume, the agricultural robots market is projected to reach 30,41,634 thousand units by 2031, at a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period.

The growth of the agriculture robots market is driven by the rising adoption of drones for smart farming, population growth & labor shortages, and increasing government initiatives supporting the agriculture sector. However, the high costs of implementing agricultural robots restrain the growth of this market.

Key Players

The key players operating in the agriculture robots market are Yanmar Holdings Co., Ltd. (Japan), AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (U.S.), Lely International N.V. (Netherlands), BouMatic (U.S.), DJI (China), Deere & Company (U.S.), XAG Co., Ltd. (China), Clearpath Robotics Inc. (Canada), Naio Technologies (France), Robotics Plus Limited (New Zealand), GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft (Germany), DeLaval (Sweden), and Small Robot Company (U.K.).

Key Drivers of Agriculture Robots Market:

 One of the primary forces behind the surge in agricultural robots is the rising adoption of drones and smart technologies in farming operations. Precision agriculture, powered by robotics, allows for meticulous crop monitoring, targeted pesticide application, and optimized resource allocation, ultimately delivering higher yields while reducing waste. As the world's population inches towards 9.8 billion by 2050, the challenge of feeding a burgeoning global community has never been more pressing. Food demand is expected to soar by 59–98% in the coming decades, compelling farmers to embrace efficiency-boosting robotics to keep pace with consumption patterns and resource constraints.

Labor shortages are another major catalyst. Many regions, including developed markets like the U.K., face significant difficulty attracting and retaining seasonal and permanent agricultural labor. This scarcity accelerates the transition toward automated harvesters, milkers, planters, and weeders, all designed to reduce reliance on manual work and ensure consistent, timely outputs during critical farming seasons.

Governments worldwide, especially in emerging markets, are stepping up with initiatives, subsidies, and partnerships to promote smart farming. For instance, the U.K. government and the Indian Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare have rolled out schemes supporting the use of AI, robotics, drones, and analytics through funding and legislative reforms—demonstrating a clear commitment to transforming agriculture into a high-tech, sustainable sector.

Impact on Global Food Security Market:

The rapid proliferation of agricultural robots holds great promise for global food security. As demand grows, these machines offer a scalable, consistent solution to increasing production without proportionally expanding land or water use. By automating critical tasks—such as planting, fertilizing, pest control, and harvesting—robots help farmers maximize yields from existing resources, even in the face of challenging environmental or labor conditions.

Crucially, robots improve the resilience of farming systems, making them less vulnerable to disruptions from labor shortages, climate variability, or disease outbreaks. Robots can work tirelessly across vast fields and in hostile environments, ensuring that crops reach market regardless of external shocks. The integration of AI further enhances decision-making, enabling precision management of input use and environmental impacts, which leads to higher quality, safer food at lower cost.

By closing the productivity gap and bringing advanced technology to previously underserved regions, this wave of innovation can also drive down food prices, increase availability, and support more sustainable rural economies.

Technological Innovations that Fueling Market Expansion:

Technological creativity sits at the heart of the current market boom. Hardware components account for the lion’s share—about 88%—of the agriculture robots market, underpinned by widespread adoption of advanced robotics for livestock management and crop handling. Notable product launches, like AI-powered tomato pickers from MetoMotion (Israel) and autonomous farming platforms from Naio Technologies (France), highlight the sector’s pivot toward intelligent, labor-saving machines.

Software advancements are just as crucial. New navigation platforms, such as OutdoorNav from Clearpath Robotics (Canada), bring reliable GPS mapping and autonomous guidance to outdoor farming—enabling more accurate and efficient fieldwork while reducing the need for manual oversight. The adoption of sophisticated software development kits, like Apex.OS in AGCO Corporation’s “Fendt Xaver,” means robots now come equipped with safety-critical applications that recognize and adapt to real-world farm hazards.
