Agriculture Drones - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts 2019 - 2029
Market Report I 2024-02-17 I 157 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The Agriculture Drones Market size is estimated at USD 2.08 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 4.36 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 16.05% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Key Highlights
-Agri-tech companies have been coming up with innovative models for easing farming practices by focusing more on wireless platforms, like drone technology, to enable real-time decision-making regarding yield monitoring, crop health monitoring, field mapping, irrigation scheduling, and harvesting management to enhance agricultural productivity.
-North America is one of the most significant markets, with the United States being one of the most important marketplaces, with increased corporate activity, research, and investment. The National Institute for Food and Agriculture granted more than USD 100,000 to Kansas City State University for a drone research program that has been aiding in the development of stronger, more resistant strains of popular crops such as wheat and other grains. The drones will inspect wheat-breeding facilities, similar to how aerial imaging technology is used in agriculture, to identify wheat breeds and cross-breed them. This breakthrough will help certain crops mature faster and may have an impact on the worldwide seed business.
Europe is also one of the most advanced markets concerning the adoption of innovative technologies in agriculture. South America has the greatest potential for growth in this market. Although there is a large share of agricultural land in Asia, fragmented holdings, especially in countries like India, Indonesia, and China, limit the potential growth of agricultural drones over the forecast period. Although government initiatives in India, such as relaxed policies and financial support for startups, are expected to boost the market during the forecast period.
Agricultural Drones Market Trends
Increasing Adoption of Precision Farming Amid Declining Labour
The concept of precision farming has many advantages for the agricultural sector. Different technologies, such as global positioning systems and guided vehicles, are being developed to create an era of precision farming. The rapid growth of the agricultural sector, which is inculcating technological innovations into its agricultural practices, will continue to drive the market for precision farming and agriculture drones. The labor shortage in agriculture, which has been increasing as a major problem, has also led to more reliance on precision farming tools like agricultural drones.
In the United States, larger farms are increasing their use of precision agriculture and overcoming technology barriers to implementing practices. Fewer Mexican seasonal workers moved across the border during the pandemic, disrupting farms' plans for spring planting and bringing in crops ready for harvest, such as lettuce in California, berries in South Carolina, and tomatoes in Florida.
Owing to the increased labor shortages and higher focus on agriculture sustainability, the use of drones and UAVs in agriculture is anticipated to increase in Europe, and various startups are also emerging in this field in the region. According to the National Farmers' Union of the United Kingdom, as much as USD 73 million of food has been wasted on farms due to a labor shortage, with at least USD 27 million of fruit and vegetables wasted by the half-year of 2022.
According to the National Farmers' Union Survey conducted in 2022, 40% of respondents to a survey of its members indicated they had crop losses due to labor shortages, with farms falling 14% short of the staff they need on average. The countries in Europe look forward to going sustainable, and the region has some of the most stringent laws on the use of pesticides and insecticides. To reduce the use of these chemicals, experiments have already been conducted in Spain and the United Kingdom that involved using aerial spraying with drones. Such experiments and labor shortages are anticipated to determine the benefits of using drones and thus drive the market.
North America Dominates the Market
North America is the largest and most advanced market concerning the adoption of innovative technologies in agriculture. North America has dominated the market for smart farming with new and advanced technologies and innovative ideas in the modern generation. It also improved farm tools with the help of IoT and AI. Being in an urbanized region, the farmers know how to use smartphones and the latest technologies. Farmers can determine the peak conditions of the plants in the field with the help of sensors.
Drones are also more applicable in North America for spraying purposes. The precision technique is useful for data collection on plants in field conditions. The United States was an early adopter of precision farming technologies, which is the primary factor responsible for the region's most significant share in the global market. Even small, family-owned farms, which account for 90% of all farms in the United States, are incorporating drones into their operations by contracting with service providers to deploy UAS for aerial mapping and fertilizer and pesticide crop spraying. Drones are also helping to alleviate labor shortages and improve efficiency in the United States, where the average farmer is 57.5 years old. According to studies, the use of drones in farming activities reduces expenses. According to an American Farm Bureau Federation study, the average U.S. farmer that uses agricultural drones sees a return on investment of USD 12 per acre for maize and USD 2 to USD 3 per acre for soybeans and wheat. A considerable acceptance of modern agricultural methods in Canada is also contributing to the industry's growth.
Agricultural Drones Industry Overview
The agriculture drones market is highly fragmented, with the presence of many local and regional players and other international players. Relatively high capital requirements and the need for continuous R&D investments could affect new entrants. Thus, they need to contend with market incumbents due to their strong presence in several industries. Some of the players in the market are 3D Robotics Inc., AeroVironment, AgEagle LLC, DJI, and Trimble.
