Fruit picking robots are gradually being adopted by farmers to increase productivity and reduce labor costs. These robots help in automating the fruit picking process from orchards. Using computer vision and gripping mechanisms, fruit picking robots can identify ripe fruits, pick them gently without damaging the fruit or plant, and sort fruits based on quality parameters. This eliminates the need for human laborers to climb tall trees or work in difficult weather conditions. The global Fruit Picking Robots Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 728.07 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 40% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:

The increased adoption of automation technologies in agriculture is a key trend fueling growth of the fruit picking robots market. Precision agriculture using IoT-enabled devices is gaining popularity among farmers as it can optimize crop yield while reducing production costs. Fruit picking is one task that requires intensive manual labor and poses several health risks. Robots can efficiently automate this process and free up farm workers for more productive jobs. Advanced computer vision and machine learning algorithms now allow robots to identify fruits, determine ripeness levels, and pick fruits much like a skilled human worker. This increases throughput and quality of harvest. Development of low-cost and compact fruit picking robots suitable for smaller farms is another trend expected to boost market prospects over the forecast period.

Segment Analysis

The global fruit picking robots market is dominated by the strawberry harvesting segment. Strawberries require delicate handling to prevent bruising and damage to the fruits. Robotics helps automate the strawberry harvesting process, reducing costs and performing the task with improved precision compared to manual labor. The fruit is of a delicate nature and the complexities of the plant make strawberry harvesting well-suited for robotics.

Key Takeaways

The Global Fruit Picking Robots Market Share is expected to witness high growth over the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. Currently valued at US$ 728.07 Mn in 2023, the market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 40%.

Regional analysis: Europe currently dominates the global fruit picking robots market with over 35% market share. High labor costs and growing adoption of automation in agriculture is driving the demand for fruit picking robots in Europe. Countries like Spain, Italy and Greece major fruit producing nations in Europe and early adopters of robotics in agriculture. Asia Pacific region is expected to be the fastest growing regional market due to increasing shortage of agricultural labor and rapid mechanization of farming activities in major fruit producing countries like China and India.
