Canada Agriculture Robots Market size was valued at USD 178.54 million in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 666.36 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 16.7% during the forecast period, 2023–2030. Agrirobots are the agricultural robots that perform specific tasks like planting, spraying, monitoring, or harvesting crops using mechanical arms or specialized tools.
They navigate through fields using GPS and mapping technologies, adapting their routes if needed. Many agrirobots can operate autonomously, continuously performing tasks without constant human intervention. They collect and analyze data during their operations, providing valuable insights for farmers to make informed decisions about farm management practices. By automating tasks and optimizing resource utilization, agrirobots contribute to increased efficiency and productivity in agriculture. By utilizing sensors such as cameras, LiDAR, and GPS, agricultural robots gather data about the environment, including factors like crop conditions and obstacles. This data is then processed through algorithms and artificial intelligence systems to derive meaningful insights and make informed decisions.
Canada is the second U.S. agricultural export market, with wood pellet exports expected to grow five percent on increased demand. In response to this trend, there has been a notable surge in the adoption of agriculture robots in Canada's farming industry, which is expected to drive the growth of the agribots industry in the country.
The Carbon Robotics LaserWeeder and the Lygus BugVac are instances of robots that excel in tasks such as weed removal and pest control. The LaserWeeder employs lasers to eliminate weeds, while the BugVac is a self-driving vacuum robot designed specifically for pest control. Additionally, these robots demonstrate advanced capabilities in crop scouting, weed control, and harvesting.
The agribots market is experiencing growth driven by an increasing number of product releases by market players focused on simplifying and accelerating the milking process in the agricultural industry. These innovative solutions aim to address the challenges faced by farmers in milking operations, such as labor-intensive processes and time constraints. Agribots designed for milking tasks are equipped with advanced technology and features that optimize the milking process, improve efficiency, and ensure the well-being of livestock.
Thus, it is expected to create significant growth in the agriculture robots market. For instance, in August 2021, Clearpath Robotics introduced the next generation of its DairyRobot R9500 and DairyProQ automated milking systems, bringing major upgrades to the milking technology. These systems offer benefits like the In-Liner Everything milking and MilkRack milking unit, among others.
The substantial initial investment needed to acquire and deploy agriculture robots in Canada poses a significant challenge for many farmers, particularly those operating on smaller scales or with limited financial resources. This investment includes not only the cost of purchasing the robots but also the infrastructure and equipment required to effectively utilize them. As a result, the high upfront costs act as a restraining factor for the market growth in the country.
Canada's greenhouse industry is growing, especially for high-value crops like fruits and vegetables. Therefore, robots can assist in greenhouse automation by managing tasks such as seeding, transplanting, monitoring plant health, and adjusting environmental conditions. Automated systems can optimize lighting, temperature, humidity, and nutrient delivery, resulting in improved crop quality, reduced resource consumption, and increased production efficiency. Thus, it is expected to create ample opportunity for the market.
The agriculture robots industry includes several market players such as Deere & Company, Rockwell Automation Inc., CNH Industrial Capital LLC, GEA Group, Naio Technologies, Boumatic Robotics, DeLaval, SZ DJI Technology Co., Ltd., Ecorobotix SA and Trimble Inc.. These market players are adopting various strategies such as innovation and collaboration to maintain their dominance in the market of Canada.
For instance, in June 2022, Solinftec teamed up with the University of Saskatchewan to unveil its new AgTech robotic platform in Canada. The goal is to provide farmers and agronomists with advanced information that will result in increased yields, more efficient use of resources, reduced environmental impact, and help meet the growing global demand for food.
