The global agriculture drones market size reached US$ 1,530.1 Million in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 9,558.4 Million by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 35.65% during 2023-2028.

Agriculture drones are remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) that carry out manual activities and provide crop status and livestock movement in real-time. They comprise propulsion systems and programmable controllers with satellite navigation to remotely control wireless communication and travel a predefined path using complex algorithms. They are retrofitted with different payloads of sensors with digital imaging capabilities, such as multispectral, high-resolution camera systems, and actuators. As a result, they are widely utilized for field surveying, crop scouting, spraying, spreading, and surveillance in livestock and fisheries.

Agriculture Drones Market Trends:
Governing agencies of numerous countries imposed lockdown restrictions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This resulted in labor shortage and positively influenced the need for agriculture drones to facilitate farming activity while complying with stringent regulations. Apart from this, a significant part of the global population suffers from famine and malnutrition due to limited food supply and the unavailability of adequate arable land. Consequently, agriculture drones are used for pesticide spraying, minimizing labor-intensive work, and improving crop yield. In addition, the growing adoption of modern agricultural practices is contributing to market growth. Moreover, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) with normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) imaging technology provides high-resolution images. These images are used to understand soil conditions, plant health, and crop yield prediction, which is impelling the market growth. Furthermore, leading market players are introducing drones with automated flight planning features to improve the scale of operation and productivity. These drones help farmers reduce the impact of climate change and unpredictable weather, calculate the land size, and develop soil maps. These innovations are projected to strengthen the growth of the market.
