The Autonomous Tractors Market was at USD 0.45 billion in 2021 and is predicted to reach USD 4.38 billion, progressing at a CAGR of 23.04% throughout the outlook period (2021-2026).
Advances in autonomous and smart technologies in the automotive industry have made it possible to increase the precision of crop handling and harness the potential of precision agriculture. The introduction of these technologies is also expected to provide opportunities to take advantage of previous developments and improvements in cropping systems and agronomy. Although there is much interest in the development of new automation and robotics technologies, multinational machine manufacturers have already developed several incubated independent agricultural technologies with near-commercial potential. Australia offers significant opportunity for further development and commercialization of these technologies and is relatively ahead of North America and Europe in the practical application of precision agriculture technologies.
Coronavirus is disrupting certain activities in agriculture and supply chains. The transportation and logistics restrictions are creating disruption in the supply chain. The temporary closure production units also affected the revenue of the global autonomous tractors industry. Media reports show that closing hotels, restaurants, candy stores and tea rooms during the shutdown is already reducing milk sales. The economic impact will likely be much more severe for two reasons. First, before COVID-19, the economy was already slowing down, exacerbating existing problems of unemployment, low income, rural distress, malnutrition, and widespread inequality. Second, the large informal sector is particularly vulnerable.
Recent Developments:
Drivers and Restraints of Autonomous Tractors Market:
The worldwide market for autonomous tractors is expected to register significant growth during the forecast period due to the rising trend of process automation. Additionally, increased government initiatives for the adoption of advanced technologies to improve productivity, efficiency and quality of crop yields are expected to drive growth in the global autonomous tractor market during the outlook period. The increasing rate of adoption of mechanization in the agricultural industry of developed countries is supposed to further stimulate the growth of the world market. Therefore, the decrease in the availability of labor combined with an increase in the cost of labor is one of the main drivers of the growth of the world market for autonomous tractors. Autonomous tractors can also be used as mobile access points for data collection from sensors placed throughout the field. This is very useful for applications used in precision agriculture and can provide the required information on the site. These factors are likely to boost the global market over the estimated period. However, the lack of technical knowledge among farmers, especially in underdeveloped and developing economies, together with the high initial investment cost, are the main factors that are expected to affect to some extent the growth of the world market.
The Autonomous Tractors market can be divided based on Power Output, Component, Crop Type, and Farm Application.
Based on power output, 101 HP and above will account for the largest share, followed by the 31-100 HP power segment, in 2019. Demand for medium power tractors is expected to increase at a higher rate compared to tractors Powerful autonomous, due to the advantages of four-wheel tractors, such as better maintenance and control of soil quality, and cultivation capabilities with high fuel savings. Due to these factors, most farmers prefer tractors in this range.
In terms of components, the market has been segmented into LiDAR, radar, GPS, camera/vision system, ultrasonic sensors, and wearable devices. The radar segment in the autonomous market is expected to be the largest by 2025. Radar sensors can determine the speed, range and angle of moving objects and can operate in almost any weather condition. They are more cost-effective than LiDAR systems, but more expensive than cameras, making them a preferable option over other components that manufacturers consider can be incorporated into autonomous tractors.
Depending on the type of crop, the market is divided into grains and cereals (corn, wheat, rice and others), oilseeds and legumes (soybeans, canola and others), and fruits and vegetables (orange trees, vineyards and others). With the increase in the world population, the demand for fruits and vegetables is also increasing at a rapid rate. One trend shows that weeding and harvesting fruits and vegetables is highly dependent on manual labor, since fragile fruits and vegetables are delicate, and machines could damage the crops or trees that produce them. As a result, new technologies, such as autonomous tractors, are being developed for growing fruits and vegetables.
On the basis of applications, the global market has been segmented into primary and secondary, planting and harvesting. With the advancement of technology and the various research and development activities of agronomists, tillage activities become more and more autonomous for large cultures and row cultures.
Regional Analysis:
The global Autonomous Tractors market has been categorized based on the geography into North America, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, Latin America and Europe. The North American market is expected to dominate the worldwide market for autonomous tractors, due to the high rate of adoption of advanced technologies. In addition, the lack of skilled agricultural labor and the ability of farmers in the region to spend on technology are the main reasons for the future growth of the autonomous tractor market in North America. In addition, the presence of the main tractor manufacturers in the area further stimulates the growth of regional markets. The Asia-Pacific region is estimated to register a considerable growth rate during the conjecture period, due to the augmenting need for food production to feed the growing population.
