Market Analysis
The global agriculture market increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4% from $12,245.63 billion in 2022 to $13,398.79 billion in 2023. The Russia-Ukraine war, at least in the medium term, hampered global economic recovery from the COVID-19 epidemic. The conflict between these two countries has resulted in economic sanctions against a number of countries, a rise in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, resulting in inflation across goods and services and hurting numerous markets throughout the world. The agriculture industry is predicted to increase at a 9.1% CAGR to $19,007.8 billion by 2027.
The global population is increasing and is anticipated to reach 10 billion people by 2050. As the population grows, so does the demand for food. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization ) annual Agricultural Outlook, worldwide cereal production is expected to increase by 13% by 2027. Crop production, farming operations, and trade volumes will need to expand to meet the increased population's needs. Agribusiness firms will boost their purchases of arable land in order to increase agricultural production. Agriculture companies are expected to expand their presence and activities in order to fulfill the rising demand for farming activities and growth.
The emergence of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a huge drag on the agriculture market in 2020, as supply chains have been disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption has dropped due to global government lockdowns. COVID-19 is an infectious disease characterized by flu-like symptoms such as fever, coughing, and trouble breathing. The virus was discovered in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, People's Republic of China, and has since spread throughout the world, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Farmers encountered difficulties harvesting and marketing their goods as governments implemented lockdowns. Furthermore, as countries established limitations on cross-border trade, agricultural produce exports fell dramatically. Businesses are projected to be harmed by the outbreak during 2020 and into 2021. However, the agriculture market is projected to recover from the shock over the forecast period because it is a "black swan" event unrelated to continuing or structural flaws in the market or the global economy.
Many countries' demands for agriculture robots, or robots, are being driven by labor scarcity and an increase in demand for improved agricultural instruments. On farms, robots are used for pruning, weeding, and spraying pesticides and herbicides. They are linked to tractors and are used to spray water, seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, and harvest. For example, the Energid Citrus Picking Robot System picks one orange from a tree every two seconds, increasing productivity and reducing the need for agricultural labor. Small Robot Company, Naio Technologies, EarthSense, HETO Agrotechnics, Harvest Automation, Precision Hawk, BoniRob, and others are among the companies that provide ag robots for effective and efficient agricultural productivity. Cargill Incorporated, Dairy Farmers of America, Bayer AG, WH Group Limited, Bunge Limited, Wens Foodstuff Group Co. Ltd., Charoen Pokphand Foods PCL, Corteva Inc., Olam International, and Land O'Lakes Inc. are among the major agricultural corporations.
