 Brazil Agriculture Robots Market – Overview

Agriculture robots also referred to as Agribots, are one of the most recent technological advancements in the agriculture sector. They are autonomous machines that are used to boost productivity by increasing output quality and efficiency while reducing the need for manual labor. For a variety of horticultural tasks like weed control, seeding and planting, aerial data collection, field mapping, fertilizing and irrigation, intercultural operations, harvesting, soil analysis, and environmental monitoring, agriculture robots are typically outfitted with end effectors or specialized arms. In addition, these robots are used in the dairy farming sector to wash and milk livestock.

Growth Drivers

Growing Brazil Population and Shortage of Skilled Labor

The growing Brazil population and the need for increased productivity from the current farmland are putting pressure on the agriculture sector. The agriculture sector is currently being impacted by various factors, including changing demographics and urbanization. Migrant labor is heavily utilized by Brazil's agriculture sector, and this trend is also seen in other developed nations. An aging farmer population further reduces the availability of manual labor, contributing to the labor shortage that has now become a global issue. Younger generations are less likely to continue farming, and children from farming families frequently relocate to urban areas in search of better employment opportunities. Due to this, current farmers have been working in the field for a long time.

Restraints

Higher Cost of Automation for Small Farms

The successive waves of automation, which include agriculture robots, have largely left smaller farms behind. A tractor with autopilot functionality can cost upwards of $100,000 and frequently does not give small farmers a sufficient Return on Investment (RoI). Although auto-steering and drone technologies are some of the least expensive automation solutions and have a relatively mature state, they are still not widely used in small farms. For instance, only about 10% of auto-steering technology is used globally on small farms between 10 and 1000 acres (or about 1 million farms out of 10 million). With the introduction of more specialized and expensive robots and software systems, it is expected that these farms will fall further behind in terms of technology. This problem is especially prevalent in developing countries. As a result, many agriculture equipment manufacturers have begun to lease their equipment rather than restricting their customers to a one-time purchase.

Segmental Coverage

Brazil Agriculture Robots Market - By Type

Based on type, the Brazil agriculture robots market is segmented into Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Milking Robots, Driverless Tractors, Automated Harvesting Systems, and Other Robots. Due to advantages like cost-efficiency, greater flexibility, and a higher frequency of milking times when compared to the traditional milking process, the milking robot segment accounted for the largest revenue share. The traditional milking process requires little manual labor, so agriculture robotic automation can be used to handle the heavy lifting and repetitive tasks, completing the job more quickly and effectively.

Brazil Agriculture Robots Market - By Offerings

Based on offerings, the Brazil agriculture robots market is segmented into Hardware, Software, and Services.

Brazil Agriculture Robots Market - By Application

Based on application, the Brazil agriculture robots market is segmented into Harvest Management, Field Farming, Dairy & Livestock Management, Soil Management, Irrigation Management, Pruning Management, Weather Tracking & Monitoring, Inventory Management, and Others. The field farming holds the highest market share in Brazil agriculture market. Robotic cameras and sensors are used in fields to identify pests, spot weeds, detect diseases or parasites, and much more. An AI sensor detects and pinpoints weeds, then chooses the best herbicides to use. Herbicides are typically only sprayed on the affected area by sensors, which are usually selective. This reduces the need for herbicides and has a less negative effect on the environment, which are important factors boosting consumer preference and supporting this market's revenue growth.

Brazil Agriculture Robots Market - By Farming Environment

Based on farming environment, the Brazil agriculture robots market is segmented into Indoor Farming and Outdoor Farming. Outdoor industry is the dominating segment in Brazil agriculture robots market. Due to many benefits, farmers are increasingly using driverless tractors, weeding robots, and fruit harvesters, which is causing the segment's revenue to grow. Nanotechnology, material science, and mechatronics-based outdoor harvesting robots are highly adopted by farmers to reduce revenue loss brought on by human error. They not only detect and analyze the ripeness of fruits but can also grasp and detach them without damaging them.

Competitive Landscape

Major players operating in Brazil agriculture robots market include John Deere, AGCO, CNH Industrial, Kubota Corporation, Yamaha Motor Co. Ltd, Deere & Company, Lely Group, BouMatic Robotics, GEA Group, DeLaval, AgEagle Aerial Systems, Agrobot, Agrointelli, Agrosavvy, Argus Control Systems, Blue River Technology, DJI, Energid Technologies, and Harvest Automation. To further enhance their market share, these companies employ various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, license agreements, and new product launches.

Recent Developments

• In July 2021 - DeLaval launched Parallel parlor system. With the help of fewer resources and enabling the right automation, DeLaval parlor is expected to make the whole milking process smoother. Parallel parlor system is easy to install and can also be fitted into existing buildings as a retrofit installation.
