Agriculture Drones Market Size, Share & Growth Report | 2031

Report Description

Agriculture Drones Market Outlook 2031

The Global Agriculture drones market size was valued at USD 3.42 Billion in 2022 and is likely reach to USD 40.21 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR 31.5% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the growing venture funding for deployments of drones in agriculture sector.

Agriculture drones are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) used in agriculture for monitoring crop growth and production. The UAVs fill the gaps of human error and inefficiency of traditional farming by minimizing time and expenses.  Typically, drones includes a high-quality cameras, navigation system, multiple sensors, GPS, and programmable controllers.

The data collected from drones reveal various issues, such as irrigation problems, soil variation, degree of crop damage, and infection to plants. External weather changes globally are creating new layers of complexity in the agriculture industry, which boosts the need for agriculture drones to improve crop yield and firm efficiency.

Agricultural drones offer various benefits, such as enhanced production, agricultural spraying, less wastage of resources, and faster process.

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has negative impact on the market. During pandemic, manufacturing plants were not operational, supply chain disrupted, and less availability of raw material affected the demand of agriculture drones.

The market is expected to recover soon as farmers are adapting advanced technology to recover from the loss they faced due to the lockdown imposed by various government bodies.

Agriculture Drones Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

• Increasing acceptance of precision farming solution is one of the key factors driving the market growth.
• Rising need for a reduction in cost associated with human error is projected to boost the market during the forecast period.
• Escalating regulation by government regrading use of UAVs acts as a major challenge that can restrict the market growth in the coming years.
• Lack of awareness about drones among the farmers especially in developing countries is expected to hamper the market growth during the projected timeline.
• Growing automation in farming and agriculture industries is anticipated to create significant growth opportunities for the market.
