Increasing Demand for Food and Availability of Transportable Charging Stations to Boost Growth of Agricultural Robots and Mechatronics Market
Increasing demand for food is expected to propel growth of the agricultural robots and mechatronics market. For instance, according to Food and Agriculture Organization, worldwide food demand is expected to increase by 70% by 2050. Moreover, government initiatives to boost adoption of agricultural robots and mechatronics is also expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, in August 2020, the World Economic Forum launched the Artificial Intelligence for Agriculture Innovation Project along with the State Government of Telangana, India.
Increasing
labor cost is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in
the agricultural robots and mechatronics market. For instance, according to Eurostat press release in April 2019,
in 2018, hourly labor costs in the whole economy expressed in € rose by 2.7% in
the EU and by 2.2% in the euro area compared to 2017, with Latvia (+12.9%),
Lithuania (+10.4%), Estonia, and Slovakia (both +6.8%) witnessing the highest
increase. Moreover, use of artificial intelligence and availability of
transportable charging stations is also expected to aid in growth of the
market. For instance, in November 2020, Naïo Technologies partnered with VARTA
AG, which provides battery technology, to create an autonomous, transportable
charging station for agriculture robots.
Among
regions, Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth in the agricultural
robots and mechatronics market, owing to increasing population. For instance, as
of November 2019, China's population stood at 1.394 billion, the largest of any
country in the world. Moreover, development of robotic platform for agriculture
is also expected to aid in growth of the market in the region. For instance, in
April 2020, Yanmar Co., Ltd., a
Japan-based diesel engine manufacturer, developed modular robotic platform for
agriculture.
