According to Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the worldwide autonomous tractors market is set to hit US$ 13 billion by the end of 2033, expanding rapidly at 24% CAGR from 2023 to 2033.
Autonomous tractors are agricultural machines that operate without the involvement of a human inside the tractor. Autonomous tractors are equipped with modern agricultural technologies such as laser diodes, sensors, vision systems, GPS systems, and other systems, allowing them to work without the need for constant human input.
As the world population has risen tremendously over the last few decades, there is a pressing need to enhance the effectiveness of agricultural operations to meet the world’s food needs. In addition, growing urbanization has resulted in a significant drop in agricultural labor. These considerations prompted farmers to seek processes and alternatives to increase yields and productivity to fulfill demand.
Moreover, since cultivable land is finite and farm productivity depends on environmental conditions, there is a growing need to improve the efficacy of agricultural activities. This, combined with farmers’ expanding emphasis on increasing agricultural production, is one of the primary reasons driving the demand for autonomous tractors.
Autonomous tractors boost labor productivity by allowing farmers to handle many farming tasks at the same time. Furthermore, investments in the agricultural industry have risen as a consequence of government initiatives to enhance the sector, causing the autonomous tractor market to continue to develop in a positive direction. Moreover, the increasing use of autonomous tractors to ensure sustainable food security, backed by self-sustaining agricultural mechanization plans around the world, is driving market expansion.
