According to MarketsandMarkets forecasts, the expected sales of agricultural robots this year will amount to $ 7.4 billion, which is expected to almost triple to $ 20.6 billion.

According to researchers, the growing automation of agriculture is likely to advance due to a reduction in skilled labor and the increasing availability of Internet-based and GPS technologies.

The forecast emphasizes that the agricultural sector is attracting fewer young start-ups around the world, and costs are constantly growing. It will also stimulate the growth of the agricultural robot market. This is also confirmed by the expanding capabilities that today allow professionals to efficiently coordinate various equipment, unmanned aerial vehicles, self-propelled tractors and other automated agricultural equipment with centralized management software.

Research is expected to show the strongest growth in the market for self-propelled tractors and the agricultural drone segment. The latter can now be used not only for monitoring land, but also for specific interventions, such as the use of pesticides.

Today, the United States is a market leader in agricultural robots. Their leadership will continue to decline in the coming years, but in the near future, due to their size, South American farms can invest more in robotic technology.
