Autonomous tractor market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.16% during the forecast period, reaching a total market size of US$398.92 million in 2024 from US$185 million in 2018. Autonomous tractors are driverless tractors used which use advanced sensors and systems for the operating purpose. The demand for autonomous tractors is expected to increase on account of improvement in overall productivity and the trend towards the adoption of modern farming techniques. Further, the rising demand to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the farmland is expected to boost the market for autonomous tractors in the coming years. In addition, favorable government conditions regarding the development of the agricultural sector are anticipated to fuel the market. Furthermore, the rising population has prompted increased demand for food which in turn has emphasized the focus on increasing the yield which is further anticipated to bolster the autonomous tractor industry. Moreover, a growing number of products launches along with technological advancements is estimated to widen up the growth opportunities for the market in the next five years. However, the high initial cost associated with autonomous tractors is expected to restrict the growing demand for autonomous tractors. The market has been segmented on the basis of component, power type, application, and geography. Geographically, North America is estimated to hold a significant share in the market owing to the early adoption along with the rising research and development activities.
