Unmanned Spraying Aircraft, Autonomous Mapping Drones Will Play Significant Roles

IDTechEx Research, a provider of independent market research, business intelligence and events on emerging technology, has released a new report, Agricultural Robots and Drones 2016-2026: Technologies, Markets, and Players.

This report analyses how robotic market and technology developments will change the business of agriculture, enabling ultra-precision farming and helping address the key global challenges. The report contains a detailed roadmap of how robotic technology will enter into different aspects of agriculture, how it will change the way farming is done and transform its value chain, how it becomes the future of agrochemicals business and how it will modify the way we design agricultural machinery.

The report includes a detailed technology assessment covering all the key robotic/drone projects, prototypes and commercial products relevant to the agricultural sector. Detailed overview and assessment of key technological components such as vision sensors, LIDARs, novel end-effectors, and hyper/multi-spectral sensors. Technology roadmaps outlining how different equipment are increasingly becoming vision-enabled, intelligence and unmanned/autonomous.

There is a detailed application assessment covering dairy farms, fresh fruit harvesting, organic farming, crop protection, data mapping, seeding, nurseries, etc. For each application/sector, a detailed overview of the existing industry is given, the needs for, and the challenging facing, robotic technology are analyzed, the addressable market size is estimated by territory, and market projections are given.

Agricultural Robots and Drones 2016-2026: Technologies, Markets, and Players includes granular ten-year segmented market forecasts for 14 categories including and unmanned spraying drones. Market forecasts are also segmented by territory, and all assumptions and data points are clearly explained. More than 20 interview-based full company profiles with detailed SWOT analysis, 40 company profiles without SWOT analysis, and the works of more than 76 companies/research groups listed and summarized.
