农业领域劳动力短缺加剧
由于农村人口向城市流动、劳动力老化等问题,农业劳动力短缺问题长期存在。根据世界银行的数据,2022年农业就业人数占总就业人数的27%,而2021年则下降至26%。为了减少该行业对体力劳动的依赖,由于收割等重要操作的工人短缺,人们对自动化和机器人技术越来越感兴趣。
这些机器人比人类劳动力有许多优势。他们可以不间断地不知疲倦地工作,从而显着减少收穫时间并有可能提高整体效率。此外,它们可以在各种天气条件下运行,并且可以更精确地识别成熟的农产品,从而减少浪费并提高产量。
农业部门越来越多地采用自动化
农业领域越来越多地采用自动化是推动收割机器人市场成长的巨大催化剂。科技的不断进步,特别是机器人技术、人工智慧和系统控制方面的进步,使得收割机器人变得更有效率、更独特、更有适应性。
这些进步使机器人能够执行以前依赖人类能力和决策技能的复杂任务。 2023 年 1 月,日本农业科技新创公司 AGRIST 在拉斯维加斯 2023 年消费性电子展 (CES) 上推出了一款智慧收割机器人。新型机器人「L」以毫米级的精度,透过层层树叶来选择成熟的辣椒进行收穫。
收割机器人成本高
收割机器人的高额费用仍然是其在农业领域广泛使用和市场扩张的重大障碍。儘管这些机器人有很多优点,但许多农民和农业企业发现很难负担购买、使用和维护它们所需的初始费用。对于中小型农场来说,购买收割机器人所需的初始成本可能过高。
开发成本、研究以及人工智慧驱动的机器学习演算法、专用感测器、坚固的机械和精确的操纵器等先进功能的结合显着增加了这些机器人的整体成本。此外,这些机器人针对各种作物和地形的客製化和适应也增加了成本。
Overview
Global Harvesting Robots Market reached US$ 1.32 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 3.33 billion by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 12.25% during the forecast period 2023-2030.
Escalating labor costs and shortages in the agricultural sector worldwide are driving the need for automation, making harvesting robots an attractive solution to offset these challenges. Continuous advancements in robotics, AI, machine learning, and sensor technologies are enhancing the capabilities of harvesting robots.
These improvements result in more efficient, precise, and adaptable machines capable of handling various crops and terrains. In August 2023, Wootzano Ltd., a company in the post-harvest sector of robotics announced the official opening of its US operations, with the first Avarai robotic system active.
Fruit Harvesting Robots account for over half of the market share due to the labor-intensive nature of fruit picking. Similarly, North America dominates the Harvesting Robots market, capturing the largest market share. In February 2023, Advanced Farm Technologies Inc., a firm that develops autonomous fruit-picking robots, declared that it is expanding more barns and manufacturing space to build its equipment. The company began with a third of a barn on agricultural property just south of Davis, California.
Dynamics
Rising Labor Shortage in the Agricultural Field
The labor shortage in the agricultural sector has long been a problem because of several issues, such as migration from rural to urban areas, and aging labor pools. According to the World Bank, in 2022, employment in agriculture was 27% of the total employment, whereas in 2021, it declined to 26%. To reduce the industry's reliance on manual labor, there is a growing interest in automation and robotics due to the shortage of workers for important operations like harvesting.
These robots offer numerous advantages over human labor. They can work tirelessly without breaks, reducing harvesting time significantly and potentially increasing overall efficiency. Additionally, they can operate in various weather conditions and can be more precise in identifying ripe produce, leading to less waste and higher-quality yields.
Increasing Adoption of Automation in the Agriculture Sector
The increasing adoption of automation inside the agricultural sector is a great catalyst propelling the increase of the harvesting robotic market. The continuous advancements in technology, especially in robotics, artificial intelligence, and system mastering, have made harvesting robots greater efficient, particular, and adaptable.
These advancements have enabled robots to carry out complex tasks previously reliant on human ability and decision-making skills. In January 2023, AGRIST, a Japanese agri-tech startup, unveiled an intelligence-powered harvesting robot at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. With millimeter accuracy, the new robot "L" selects peppers that are ripe for harvesting through layers of foliage.
High Cost Associated With Harvesting Robot
The high expense of harvesting robots continues to be a significant impediment to their broad use and market expansion in the agriculture industry. Even though these robots have many advantages, many farmers and agricultural enterprises find it difficult to afford the initial outlay needed to acquire, use, and maintain them. The initial cost required to purchase harvesting robots may be too much for small and medium-sized farms.
Development costs, research, and the incorporation of advanced features like AI-driven machine learning algorithms, specialized sensors, robust machinery, and precise manipulators significantly escalate the overall cost of these robots. Additionally, customization and adaptation of these robots for various crops and terrains add to their expense.
The global harvesting robots market is segmented based on type, operational capability, application, end-user and region.
Rising Demand for Automation in Fruit Harvesting
Fruit harvesting robots hold a significant share in the overall harvesting robot market. When harvesting, fruits frequently need to be handled carefully to preserve quality. Fruit harvesting robots can detect ripe fruits, evaluate their condition, and pick them precisely without damaging the produce since they are outfitted with sophisticated sensors and visual systems.
In November 2023, KUKA and the Upper Bavarian company Digital Workbench launched cooperation at Agritechnica, the world's premier agricultural trade show held in Hanover, Germany. The collaboration aims to provide a concrete product, a mobile harvesting robot that will aid fruit growers in the apple harvest.
North America's Adoption of Advanced Agricultural Technology
North America has an incredibly advanced agricultural region that embraces technology upgrades, especially within the U.S. and Canada. Large-scale farming operations inside the region, especially in the fruit, vegetable, and row crop sectors, are driving demand for automated and efficient solutions, which include harvesting robots, to enhance productivity and manage labor shortages.
In November 2023, a $1.2 million National Science Foundation grant was given to WSU (Washington State University) researchers to increase the productivity of robotics used in automated apple harvesting. Researchers are working on a straightforward, inexpensive robot system with a fabric arm and a soft body. The design is intended to delicately harvest apples without endangering the trees, while also allowing the robot to respond quickly.
The market for harvesting robots was greatly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. Travel restrictions, social distancing measures, and worker safety concerns caused labor shortages in the agricultural industries as the virus spread over the world. This situation brought to light the weaknesses of conventional farming methods that mostly rely on physical labor. As a result, demand for harvesting robots increased dramatically.
But even with the increased demand, the pandemic presented challenges for the market for harvesting robots. Economic uncertainty combined with disruptions in the supply chains for necessary materials and components impacted manufacturing schedules and prevented certain robot manufacturers from increasing their production volumes. The production and deployment processes' temporary halt to expansion hindered the market's development. Furthermore, many agricultural firms experienced financial difficulties as a result of the economic depression brought on by the pandemic.
The war between Russia and Ukraine affected the market for harvesting robots in several ways. Globally, the violence and geopolitical tensions in the area had an impact on some industries, including technology and agriculture, as well as the global economy.
Economic instability was caused by geopolitical tensions. Trade disruptions, a decline in investor confidence, and currency value swings could have all resulted from uncertainty in the area. Potential investments in cutting-edge technologies like harvesting robots were discouraged by this economic volatility since companies had more hesitant to commit capital to such projects during shaky times.
By Operational Capability
The major global players in the market include Agrobot, Dogtooth Technologies Limited, Panasonic Holdings Corporation, Certhon, Harvest CROO Robotics LLC, TORTUGA AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC, Harvest Automation, OCTINION, MetoMotion, Advanced Farms Technologies, Inc.
