Read Report Overview: Smart Harvest Market
Robotic harvesters or autonomous harvesting systems are gaining popularity among crop growers globally. Growers are adopting autonomous harvesters for selective harvesting crops, which further save their time, energy, and labor cost as well. It further helps in solving food security issues by producing more yield without any wastage.
Impact
- North America generated the highest revenue of $2,290.0 million in 2021, which is expected to reach $4,540.0 million by 2027. The region has been experiencing rapid growth in the smart farming industry in the past few years owing to increasing technological advancements and increasing government support for the usage of smart equipment. Owing to several benefits of smart farming, farmer and growers in this region are adopting different technologies on their farms, such as GPS, drones, robots, smart controllers, monitors, and others. All these factors are further influencing the market growth of smart harvest technologies in North America.
- Furthermore, Europe generated a revenue of $1,740.0 million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.37% from 2022 to 2027. High revenue generation was majorly attributed to increasing the use of smart farming systems and increasing investments from the European Commission for IoT-based smart farming. Most of the growth is expected to be driven by Eastern Europe countries in the forecast period.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 impact on the smart harvest market was there for a short term in 2020 and in 2021. However, the market is anticipated to witness robust growth and recovery with increasing demand for the installation of smart harvest equipment in agricultural farms throughout the world to make optimum utilization of resources with the shortage of skilled labor in the agriculture fields. Hence, the demand for smart harvesters in the agriculture sector is expected to increase during and post-COVID-19 pandemic.
Analyst's Take on the Market Projection
