The global agricultural robot market is
anticipated to reach USD 8.82 billion by 2025, according to a new report by
Grand View Research, Inc. The agriculture industry is changing dramatically,
across the globe. The growing technological advancements and innovations in
robotics have increased the sales of the agricultural robots.
Indoor
farming refers to crop cultivation using high-pressure sodium lamps or LEDs and
growth in aeroponic and hydroponic systems. Additionally, indoor farming
provides protection and optimal growing conditions. The use of this technology
by small commercial growers for producing crops is expected to increase their
capacity and economic viability.

The
future of the indoor farming industry is technology and data driven. The
climate control technology is enabling high yields. A farm management system
helps growers in reducing the time spent on analyzing and collecting crop yield
data. The growing adoption of indoor farming is likely to spur the agriculture
robot market.
Farm
employment includes exposure to pesticides, long working hours, poor sanitary
conditions, and other health risks. Most of the agricultural work is physical
in nature, which increases the risks of accidents by fatigue, difficult
terrain, poorly designed tools, and extreme weather conditions. In addition to
physically demanding labor, heat & sun exposure and dangerous machinery
increase the risks of farming.
Based
on working methods, the working conditions in commercial plantations vary from
traditional intensive methods to highly mechanized extensive methods. However,
only some of the agricultural workers are covered by employment injury
benefits, national legislation, and insurance schemes.
Farming
causes several respiratory hazards in farmworkers. Organic dust toxic syndrome
(ODTS), caused by grain and silage dust, is a common respiratory illness
prevailing among the farmers. Agricultural noise and chemical hazards are the
other common health hazards of farming. Prolonged exposure to excessive noise
produced by choppers, tractors, chainsaws, and grain dryers can cause permanent
hearing loss.
However,
lack of awareness and high initial capital investments are anticipated to
restrain the market growth over the forecast period. The robots used for
agricultural purposes require additional application-specific advanced
processing equipment, resulting in increased capital investment.
