Robotics in Agriculture Market Analysis Overview
Robots are machines capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, either programmed by a computer or using artificial intelligence (AI). The adoption of robots in agricultural operations for intelligence & inspection, cleaning, and maintenance can improve efficiency. For instance, agricultural drones provide imaging and surveying, while crop spraying, and terrain monitoring are key growth areas for the commercial drones market.
The Robotics in agriculture market analysis thematic intelligence report provides detailed insights on the development of robotics in the agriculture industry along with complete data analysis. The report also focuses on the value chain analysis and the leading robotics vendors and adopters that are impacting the agriculture industry.
Robotics in Agriculture – Data Analysis
The robotics industry was worth $45.8 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 28% during 2020 and 2030. Military drones account for the largest segment of drone sales, however, from 2025, commercial drones will be the largest revenue contributor to the overall drone market. The adoption of drones for agricultural use will contribute to this shift. The Chinese drone industry is the largest in the world and it is now experiencing an agricultural drone revolution, with competition in the sector causing prices to drop.

Robotics in Agriculture - Value Chain Analysis
GlobalData’s robotics value chain consists of four segments: hardware components, software components, robot manufacturing, and robotics as a service.
Robot Manufacturing: Industrial robots are typically housed in safety cages as they lack sensory intelligence, making them dangerous to be placed near workers for fear of injury. China is the key growth driver for the industrial robot sector due to the accelerating automation in the Chinese manufacturing sector and the retooling of its automotive factories. Growth in the market is also driven by rising demand for automation in industries such as automotive and electronics. However, robot prices are likely to fall, especially as the leading Chinese industrial robot makers such as Estun and Siasun increase their presence outside their home market.
