GCC Agricultural Robots Market to Grow at a CAGR of 11.3% to reach US$ 389.1 Million from 2020 to 2027

The GCC agricultural robots market was valued at US$ 167.4 Mn in 2019 and is estimated to reach US$ 389.1 Mn by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.3% from 2019 to 2027.

The growth of the IoT industry has revolutionized the agriculture industry, which depends mainly on technology, electronics, and physical and biological sciences. In addition, increasing labor prices and untrained labor have also encouraged farmers to use a cost-effective approach to improve productivity. Moreover, robotic systems with vision systems and sensors may be specially built to assess the location and ripeness of the crops that need to be harvested. This can be designed to withstand extreme environments in the world, including changing light strength, rain, wind rafts, and temperature swings. Agricultural robots are configured to ensure a minimal human interference, to speed up the farming processes. Farmers are getting used to the effective use of robots, robotic weapons, or autonomous tractors. Farmers can automate routine, sluggish, and dull tasks using such agricultural robots; this helps them to focus more on improving the overall production yield.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on GCC Agricultural Robots Market

The GCC countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Bahrain, introduced a range of precautionary steps to deter COVID-19 infection and contain the spread of the same, effective from during March 2020. Technological advancements are expected to boost the demand for agricultural robots in the GCC countries. Artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) are expected to contribute significantly in adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic and solving ever-evolving challenges. Using AI can help to reduce operating costs while enhancing customer satisfaction during the renewal process and other services. VR/AR can also prove valuable in providing remote support.

Market Insights- GCC Agricultural Robots Market

Growing Population and Increasing Labor Shortage are Encouraging Automation

In over 30 years, the world population is projected to grow from 7.7 billion to 9.7 billion owing to which food consumption is predicted to increase significantly. Traditional methods, however, are not sufficient to address this upsurge. Moreover, the younger generation does not foresee farming as an attractive profession, and immigration policies across the world make it challenging to get migrant workers. Therefore, a new breed of robotic staff is being deployed in the farms, including systems ranging from UAVs to driverless cars. Agricultural robots minimize he costs incurred by farmers' wages. Moreover, humans have limited working hours, while robots can work all day, year round. Thus, agricultural robots are becoming commonplace for farmers owing to barriers caused with increasing labor shortage and growing demand for food with rising population. Further, agricultural robots contribute in many ways—economically (e.g., growing and harvesting efficiently and cost-effectively), ecologically (e.g., reducing and eliminating chemical use while ensuring soil health), and ethically (e.g., increasing animal welfare through monitoring and early intervention). Thus, the growing population and increasing labor shortage that encourage the adoption of automation are among the major factors driving the growth of GCC agricultural robots market.
