Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037

Agriculture Robots Market size was valued at USD 16.46 billion in 2024 and is likely to cross USD 230.25 billion by 2037, expanding at more than 22.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of agriculture robots is estimated at USD 19.61 billion.
 

The growth of the agriculture robots market can primarily be attributed to the rapidly growing global food demand. According to a report published by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, the production of cereals worldwide has been increased by 7 million tons in 2022.

Agriculture robots are the most technologically advanced machines which are used in agriculture. These robots are fully automated, which reduces the amount of time spent on the job and the amount of manual labor required in the field. In this way, a better crop yield by deploying agriculture robots. Farmers have been using agriculture robots in a wide array of farming, i.e., harvesting, weed control, seeding, and soil analysis. By using robotics, more advanced agricultural techniques are enabling increased production of grains, fruits, and numerous other crops and helping out to cater to the rapidly growing food demand. It was observed that the global hunger rate reached between 700 and 800 million people in 2020.

Agriculture Robots Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Higher Labor Shortage - Continuing labor shortage in the farming sector is propelling the demand of agriculture robots. As per a data released by the World Bank, globally, the total ratio of employment in agriculture has dropped to 27% in 2019.
     
  • Rising Trend of Vertical Farming – A novel method of farming that combines indoor farming, urban agriculture, and managed agricultural environments is known as vertical farming. The vertical farming industry has drawn the interest of many investors in recent years. For instance, in 2021, the farming industry fostered approximately USD 1.5 billion.
     
  • Surge in Urbanization- Urbanization, which usually result in an increase in the population of cities and the size of urban regions, is mostly attributed to people migrating from rural to urban areas. According to the statistics provided by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations, in 2018, 55% of the total population of the world was living in urban areas and the same is anticipated to grow to 68% by 2050.
     
  • Escalating Trend of Smart Farming - Agriculture technological advances and recent developments lead to a shift to smart farming and efficient use of time and resources while limiting yield loss. For instance, by the end of 2020, the deployment of IoT devices in agricultural production has reached approximately 70 million, raised at a rate of about 20% per year.
