Global Agricultural Robots and Mechatronics Market Trends and Forecasts 2015-2020 - Market has been Estimated to Reach USD 5.54 Billion - Research and MarketsResearch and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Agricultural Robots and Mechatronics Market - Trends and Forecasts (2015-2020)" report to their offering. The global Agricultural Robots and Mechatronics market has been estimated to reach USD 5.54 billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period from 2015-2020 Agricultural robots and mechatronics are machinery that are used in agriculture to substitute human labour and perform tasks better than humans. This machinery is designed to operate in all weather conditions and in restricted environments. Agricultural robots and mechatronics offer solutions to farmers. They assist or replace human labour required to produce the farm products. They help farmers in most of the tasks from ploughing to harvesting. They are used in crops as well as animal farms. The major driving factor behind the market is the necessity to increase yields and reduce costs at the same time. They vastly reduce human intervention and are much more efficient than humans in agricultural practices. Other driving factors are the avoidance of harmful effects of chemicals used in agriculture on humans, especially in indoor farming and the ability of robots to work in all weather conditions. The major hurdle in te market is the affordability. The robots and mechatronics are a huge investment for farmers. Various farms require various farming methods and same robots cannot be used for all types of farms. This pushes research and overhead costs for robots and mechatronics manufacturing firms and thus increasing prices. Even though robots and mechatronics are fast evolving, there is still a large amount of development needed in agricultural applications. The market is segmented into autonomous tractors, UAVs, agrochemical applicators, robotic milking devices and others depending on the type of usage. In addition, usage area Segmentation is done such as animal farming, crop production, forest control and others. Market study shows that crop production is the largest segment in terms of revenue. It is also growing at a faster rate in comparison to others. Robotic milking devices are wide spread in developed countries and can be termed as a successful adaption of mechatronic robots in farming. Key Topics Covered: 1. Introduction 2. Market Overview 3.
