बाजार अवलोकन

The global smart harvest market experienced a valuation of $8,380 मिलियन इन 2021 and is projected to reach $16,850 मिलियन द्वारा 2027, with a compound annual growth rate (सीएजीआर) का 12.50% during the forecast period from 2022 को 2027. The growth of this market is primarily driven by the increasing adoption of smart agriculture practices, labor shortage in agriculture farms, and the need for sustainable agriculture.

The labor shortage issue has become a major concern for the entire agriculture industry. Factors such as an aging domestic agriculture workforce, more opportunities in other sectors, rising foreign labor costs, and unexpected disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have widened the gap between the required and available labor. तथापि, labor is crucial for harvesting fruits, vegetables, and staple crops. As a result, agricultural organizations, governments, and non-governmental bodies responsible for agriculture activities are supporting technology-based farming and encouraging farmers to adopt different technologies to improve yields. Mechanization and automation of harvest processes can help address labor shortages, ensure food security, and enhance the skills of the workforce.

The smart harvest market is currently in its introductory growth phase. Increased research and development activities in agriculture, growing awareness of technology-based farming, labor shortages, and an aging agricultural workforce in many countries contribute to the increasing demand for smart harvesters such as robotic harvesters and automated tractors. Rising crop production costs and the need for workforce automation further support market growth.

Opportunities in the global smart harvest market include the adoption of robotic technology in agriculture practices and the implementation of sensors and 3D imaging in smart farms. The Asia-Pacific region presents significant opportunities due to its large agricultural sectors, which contribute to the GDP of many countries.

North America generated the highest revenue of $2,290 मिलियन इन 2021, expected to reach $4,540 मिलियन द्वारा 2027. The region has experienced rapid growth in the smart farming industry, driven by technological advancements and government support for smart equipment usage. In North America, farmers and growers adopt technologies such as GPS, drones, robots, smart controllers, and monitors to benefit from smart farming.

Europe generated a revenue of $1,740 मिलियन इन 2021, projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.37% से 2022 को 2027. The high revenue generation is attributed to an increasing use of smart farming systems and investments from the European Commission for IoT-based smart farming. Eastern European countries are expected to drive most of the growth in this region.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a short-term impact on the smart harvest market in 2020 और 2021. तथापि, the market is expected to witness robust growth and recovery as there is increasing demand for smart harvest equipment installation in agriculture farms worldwide to optimize resource utilization in the face of labor shortages. फलस्वरूप, the demand for smart harvesters in the agriculture sector is expected to grow during and after the pandemic.

The global smart harvest market can be categorized into two application segments: the site of operation and crop type segments. Controlled environment agriculture primarily utilizes smart harvesters to cultivate fresh fruits and vegetables under artificial conditions with minimal labor. On the other hand, autonomous tractors and other robotic harvesters are employed in field agriculture to harvest crops like cotton, apples, and asparagus. Among these segments, on-field agriculture is expected to dominate the global smart harvest market, projected to hold a significant share of $12,636 मिलियन इन 2027. Autonomous harvesters are increasingly favored by crop growers worldwide for selective harvesting, saving time, energy, and labor costs. This adoption also contributes to addressing food security concerns by increasing yield without wastage. Harvesting robots are fully automated and can determine harvesting schedules based on crop maturity data collected from various software systems.

On-field farming involves growing crops in rows within open-air fields. Due to environmental variations, inconsistent plant development, and other factors like light, wind, and rain, robotic harvesting of on-field crops is more challenging than controlled environment harvesting. The global smart harvest market’s product segment includes various components, such as hardware, software, and services. Among them, the hardware segment is expected to dominate the market, valued at $6,645 मिलियन इन 2021. This dominance is attributed to the extensive use of robotic arms, robotic chassis, end-effectors, automation systems, monitoring and sensing systems in smart harvest equipment. Hardware components like robotic arms, chassis, end-effectors, RAM, ROM, and CPU ensure the efficient operation and automatic scheduling of smart harvesters and autonomous robots. इसके अतिरिक्त, 3D imaging systems with multiple sensors aid in image recognition for accurately picking ripe fruits and mature vegetables.

North America currently leads the global smart harvest market, with high market penetration in countries like the U.S. and Canada, which are expected to showcase robust growth in the next five years. Factors contributing to the region’s growth include technological advancements in agriculture, the emergence of AgTech startups, and government support for smart farming. The U.S. is a key player in this market, with several prominent companies operating globally. The Asia-Pacific region, characterized by rapid climate change, increasing government support, the need for food security, and a growing demand for smart farming, is the fastest-growing market in the smart harvest industry.

The selection of profiled companies was based on inputs gathered from primary experts, as well as an analysis of company coverage, product portfolios, and market penetration.

Prominent market players offer smart harvesters for controlled environment agriculture and field agriculture. Autonomous tractors and smart harvesters are employed in the field to harvest various crops such as cotton, nuts, wheat, hemp, और दूसरे. These harvesters are fully automated and can establish harvesting schedules by collecting data from different software systems regarding crop maturity. In some cases, only minimal human labor is required to accompany the robotic harvester during the harvesting process. Apart from reducing labor costs, robotic harvesting offers several advantages. में 2021, the on-field segment accounted for approximately 55.56% of the global smart harvest market, while controlled environment agriculture represented about 44.44% of the market share. Controlled environment agriculture encompasses indoor farms, aquaponic and hydroponic farms, vertical farms, greenhouses, nurseries, and hybrid farms. These facilities rely on artificial lights, humidifiers, sprinklers, controllers, monitors, drones, and robots for their operations.
