Smart Harvest Market Report 2026

The smart harvest market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $19.71 billion in 2025 to $22.13 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to labor shortages in agriculture, rising demand for improved harvesting efficiency, increasing mechanization in farming operations, growth of large scale commercial agriculture, need to reduce harvest time and crop wastage.

The smart harvest market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $36.23 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in ai and machine learning technologies, increased investment in smart agriculture solutions, growing adoption of sustainable farming practices, expansion of connected farm infrastructure, rising focus on data driven decision making in agriculture. Major trends in the forecast period include ai enabled vision based harvesting, autonomous robotic harvesters, real time crop monitoring integration, precision harvesting for quality optimization, automation driven labor efficiency.

The increasing demand for food is expected to support the growth of the smart harvest market. Food demand refers to the quantity of food that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a given price within a specific period. Smart harvesting helps meet rising food demand by enhancing agricultural productivity and efficiency. These advanced farming techniques allow farmers to monitor individual plants and adjust their nutrition, helping prevent crop issues and improve overall plant health. Smart harvest systems integrate multiple advanced technologies that boost agricultural output and operational efficiency. For example, in December 2024, FoodNavigator, a UK-based B2B digital media platform, reported that total consumer-packaged-goods (CPG) store sales volumes for food and beverage increased by 1.1% in 2024, marking the first rise in three years. Therefore, the growing demand for food is contributing to the expansion of the smart harvest market.

Major companies in the smart harvest market are focusing on developing technological innovations such as AI-driven farming solutions to strengthen their competitive position. An AI-driven farming solution uses artificial intelligence to analyze data, make predictions, and automate agricultural tasks. For instance, in June 2023, Aigen, a US-based agricultural technology startup, launched Aigen Element, an autonomous and scalable robotics platform designed for crop management. This system is powered by solar and wind energy, eliminating reliance on fossil fuels and reducing environmental impact. Its AI-enabled technology precisely identifies and removes weeds without the use of herbicides. The robots operate autonomously, covering large fields efficiently and reducing labor costs while improving crop management outcomes.

In September 2024, Kubota Corporation, a Japan-based manufacturing company, acquired Bloomfield Robotics Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Kubota aims to enhance its precision agriculture capabilities by integrating Bloomfield Robotics’ advanced robotic systems and data analytics technologies. These enhanced capabilities are expected to improve crop monitoring and yield optimization for farmers. Bloomfield Robotics Inc. is a US-based agricultural technology company specializing in advanced robotic solutions for crop management and precision agriculture.
