An automated harvesting system represents agricultural equipment leveraging various technologies to efficiently automate farming operations. These systems offer farmers cost savings on labor while significantly increasing harvesting productivity compared to manual methods.
The key components of an automated harvesting system include energy harvesting transducers, power management integrated circuits (PMIC), and storage systems. Energy harvesting transducers are electronic devices that convert energy from one form to another. They are instrumental in gathering energy from the environment-such as light, heat, or vibration-and utilizing it to power wireless sensor nodes.Technologies embedded within automated harvesting systems encompass light, vibration, radio frequency, thermal, and frequency energy harvesting. These technologies find application across horticulture, greenhouse farming, crop harvesting, and other agricultural domains, contributing to enhanced efficiency and productivity in the farming industry.

This automated harvesting system market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The automated harvesting system market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from$2.12 billion in 2024 to $2.22 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in commercial aviation, military aircraft modernization, rise in air travel, demand for fuel-efficient aircraft, global aerospace industry growth, regulatory standards
The automated harvesting system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.99 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to research and development investments, rising demand for business jets, global air traffic expansion, innovations in electric vtol aircraft, focus on reliability and safety. Major trends in the forecast period include hybrid electric propulsion systems, integration of permanent magnet motors, lightweight and compact motor designs, digitalization and condition monitoring, customization for specific aircraft types.
The rising demand for industrial crops is expected to drive the growth of automated harvesting systems. Industrial crops are those that are typically not consumed directly but require industrial processing before use; examples include sugarcane, tea, pepper, and coconut. Automated harvesting systems are designed to remove crops from the vine, utilizing computer vision technology to detect and assess the ripeness of the fruit before harvesting. These systems enhance efficiency and productivity in agriculture. For instance, in June 2024, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs reported that in 2023, the total factor productivity of the UK's agricultural sector reached 241, an increase from 235 the previous year, reflecting a growth of 2.70%. Thus, the growing demand for industrial crops is propelling the development of automated harvesting systems.
An escalating labor shortage in agricultural practices is poised to fuel the growth of automated harvesting systems. This shortage, indicating an insufficient workforce relative to the agricultural sector's needs, significantly impacts farming operations and productivity. For instance, findings from the National Farmers' Union (NFU) in August 2022 revealed direct wastage of £22 million worth of fruit and vegetables in the first half of 2022 due to workforce shortages. Hence, the mounting labor scarcity in agricultural practices is propelling the automated harvesting systems market's growth.
Product innovation emerges as a prominent trend in the automated harvesting systems market, with companies leveraging new technologies to fortify their market positions. AGRIST Co. Ltd., in January 2023, introduced the L pepper harvest robot-a technology-driven solution for automated bell pepper collection. Utilizing diverse cameras and proprietary AI, this robot precisely identifies ripe peppers amidst dense foliage, clips and collects them into a storage box. This robot not only harvests but also monitors crop growth, offering farming advice for optimal farm management.
Leading companies in the automated harvesting systems market are developing advanced technologies, such as autonomous robot models, to boost efficiency, lower labor costs, and improve the precision of agricultural harvesting. Autonomous robot models are robotic systems engineered to perform tasks independently without human intervention. For example, in August 2024, Fieldwork Robotics, a UK-based agricultural technology company, introduced the Fieldworker 1, an innovative autonomous robot specifically designed for harvesting soft fruits like strawberries. This robot is equipped with advanced sensors and machine learning algorithms, enabling it to navigate fields, identify ripe fruit, and carefully pick it without harming the plants. Its implementation is aimed at streamlining the harvesting process, significantly reducing labor expenses, and enhancing overall efficiency in agricultural operations.
In April 2023, Bosch BASF Smart Farming, a German agricultural technology company, completed the acquisition of AGCO Corporation for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move aimed to expedite the growth of the farming and harvesting solutions provided by Bosch BASF Smart Farming, leveraging AGCO Corporation's established reputation for delivering high-quality products, ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction. With this acquisition, farmers stand to benefit from a comprehensive solution encompassing tailored agronomic recommendations and dependable documentation, consolidating both offerings within a singular platform. AGCO Corporation, based in the US, specializes in manufacturing agricultural machinery.
