Finland Agriculture Robots Market by Type (Driverless Tractors, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Milking Robots, Automated Harvest Robots, and Others), Offering (Hardware, Software, and Services), Farming Type (Indoor Farming and Outdoor Farming), Application (Dairy Management, Irrigation Management, Harvest Management, Soil Management, Inventory Management, and Others), and End User (Field Crops, Fruits & Vegetables, Livestock, and Others) – Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast 2023–2030

Market Overview

Finland Agriculture Robots Market size was valued at USD 27.76 million in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 102.58 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 16.6% during the forecast period, 2023–2030. Agricultural robots, or agribots, are machines that automate or semi-automate tasks in agriculture. They are designed to improve efficiency, productivity, and accuracy in farming, while reducing the dependence on manual labor and enhancing working conditions for farmers. Agribots utilize advanced technologies such as computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), and others.

Agribots are equipped with sensors, actuators, and intelligent algorithms that enable them to perceive their environment, make decisions, and carry out specific actions. They can navigate through fields using GPS or mapping technologies to perform tasks such as planting seeds, harvesting crops, applying pesticides or fertilizers, and monitoring crop health. They use computer vision to identify and differentiate between crops and weeds, detect pests or diseases, and make precise actions accordingly. 

Addressing Labor Shortages through Agricultural Robotics

The use of robotics and automation technology in the agriculture sector is becoming increasingly popular in Finland, as farmers seek to improve efficiency and productivity. The agriculture robots industry in the country is driven by the shortage of manual labor in the agriculture sector is leading to an increased demand for Agri robotics solutions. Finland has a strong tradition of innovation and research and development in the agriculture sector, which is driving the development of new and innovative solutions for the industry.

For instance, in August 2020, iFarm, a Finnish startup that provides innovative solutions around Euro 3.3 million in funding for growing fresh greens, berries and vegetables. iFarm will be optimizing its automated production lines to reduce labor costs and complete experiments with growing strawberries, cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers, radish and other crops. 

Agricultural Robots as a Solution to Soil Compaction in Finland

With concerns over soil compaction and its impact on productivity, there is a growing demand for sustainable agricultural practices in the Finland. Therefore, agricultural robots offer a solution by replacing heavier machinery and reducing soil compaction, leading to improved soil health, higher yields, and increased revenue for farmers. For example, in June 2022, Agrifutura Oy, the Finnish producer of tomato brand Nams, has signed an agreement with Israel-based Arugga AI Farming to deploy its pollination robots over its greenhouses. Agrifutura grows 4.6 hectares of tomatoes, mainly vine.  

High Initial Investment in Agriculture Robots

The high cost of agricultural robots is a major barrier to their adoption in Finland, especially among small-scale farmers. The upfront cost of purchasing the robots, as well as the cost of maintaining and operating them, can be prohibitive for many farmers. This is the reason, which is expected to restrain the growth of the agriculture robots market within the country.

Technological Advancements in Agricultural Sector

The agriculture sector in Finland is set to gain significant advantages from the rapid advancements in technology, such as AI, machine learning, and robotics. These advancements is expected to create abundant opportunities for the agricultural robots market. As technology evolves, agricultural robots in Finland will become more sophisticated, intelligent, and efficient, enabling them to perform various tasks with enhanced accuracy. These tasks include precision planting, crop monitoring, weed detection, and harvesting. The continuous development and integration of advanced technologies in agricultural robots present promising prospects for enhancing productivity and promoting sustainable farming practices in Finland.
