Global Autonomous Tractor Market Is Anticipated To Witness High Growth Owing To Growing Demand For Food And Increasing Demand For Efficiency And Accuracy
An autonomous tractor is a
machine that can perform tasks without the assistance of an operator.
Agricultural equipment makers have been experimenting with this technology for
years. Autonomous tractors are still far away from widespread adoption. Agricultural
automation has been shown to increase yields, lower costs, and reduce
environmental impact. It also increases the speed of production, allowing
farmers to complete tasks more quickly and efficiently. While autonomous
tractors are far from being widely used, they are expected to become more
popular in the future. They will be able to perform tasks more accurately and
efficiently, reducing the risk of errors and improving quality of work. However,
they have the potential to transform agriculture. They could cut down on the
labor costs for farmers. There are still a number of issues that need to be
resolved, including legal challenges and safety concerns. Some farmers worry
that these machines might be less reliable than they would be under a human
driver's guidance.
Market
Dynamics:
Growing
product launches are estimated to augment growth of the global autonomous
tractor market during the forecast period. For instance, Kubota Corporation started the
mass production of tractors in September 2020, through a joint venture with
Escorts Limited. Kubota is accelerating growth of their business by launching
new products as per local specifications. Moreover, lack of technical knowledge
and rising cost are anticipated to
restrain growth of the global autonomous tractor market during
the forecast period.
Impact
of COVID-19:
COVID-19 affected the global economy adversely. Lockdowns
and quarantines were imposed to stop the spread of the virus, as it negatively
impacted several sectors, like the agricultural sector. The pandemic also caused
a shortage of raw materials, and disruptions in the packaging and distribution.
There was lack of labor during the pandemic as people were not allowed to move
and farmers could not afford expensive equipment. Initially the pandemic led to
disruption of supply chains, logistics and transportation of agricultural
commodities. Thus, the global autonomous tractors market witnessed a decline in
sales during the pandemic. However, the market is expected to witness robust
growth as many restrictions have been relaxed.
Key
Takeaways:
The
global autonomous
tractor market
is
expected to witness robust growth, exhibiting CAGR of 23.5 % over the forecast period, due to rising
adoption of inorganic growth strategies by key players. For instance, YANMAR and Smartgyro S.r.l. entered
in a strategic partnership in February 2020, for launching a line of highly
advanced gyro stabilizers for commercial and recreational marine applications.
North America is anticipated to witness
robust growth in the global autonomous tractor market during
the forecast period, due to growing
disposable incomes and growing presence of well-developed
technology.
