The demand for agricultural robots and drones is expected to grow exponentially because of the rising population and increasing gap between supply and demand for food production. This has led the scientists to innovate new technologies and methods for automating the agricultural activities such as harvesting, ploughing, fruit picking, sowing seeds, monitoring, and milking.
The global market for the Agriculture Robots and Drone is anticipated to develop at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.21% throughout the course of the forecast, to reach USD 14,120.03 million by 2028.
The established companies that manufacture agricultural machinery are acquiring the technology-based companies to come up with more advanced robots that can do the work of humans by filling the gap of shortage of farm labor. For instance, in September 2017, Deere & Company signed an agreement to acquire Blue River Technology that works on machine learning technology which helps farmers in optimizing their fieldwork.
The venture capital companies are shifting towards agriculture industry as it is witnessing strong growth and return on investments are high. They are finding many startups that are developing agriculture robots such as weeding for removing waste plants and fruit picking harvesters. For instance, EcoRobotix, a company that was founded in 2011 and manufactures weeding robots had raised USD 11.0 million in series B financing. BASF, Capagro Venture Capital along with private financing partner had closed the deal with Ecorobotix.
