The Global Agriculture Drones market is expected to be valued at USD 9.63 Billion in 2027 from USD 873.9 Million in 2019, registering a CAGR of 35.1% through the forecast period. The industry is observing a steadfast growth owing to the increasing need for unmanned aerial vehicles, because of the rapid technological advancement. These drones are mainly used for performing surveys on agricultural farms, largely used in collecting information, storing for various future purposes, and combining as well as using those for analysis. Agriculture drones are also widely applicable in maintaining the accuracy in pesticide’s and insecticide’s level used on the crops. They are also extensively used for monitoring the labor performance and irrigation system.
Certain factors including the rising awareness about agricultural drones, fast advancements in technology associated with farming, and increasing investments into venture funding are boosting the productivity. The growing yield and government initiative worldwide for supporting the market is further accelerating the sector’s growth.
However, lack of management in air traffic and unavailability of trained pilots are restricting the market’s growth. Nonetheless, the farming industry’s revolution, from conventional to digitalization, is projected to stimulate the demand for advanced software for designing and maintaining drones in emerging nations.
