Is the Agricultural Drone Market Promising?

  From the previous era of manual agriculture to the present era of agricultural mechanization, the future gradually began to move toward the era of intelligent agriculture. Uav, robot began to become the protagonist. Technological progress and market demand are promoting the integration and development of agriculture and science and technology. But in reality, the popularity of drones does not seem to be very high, and most farmers still use basic agricultural machinery such as tractors and planters. So does the agricultural drone market have development prospects? Will drones replace basic agricultural machines as the absolute hero?

  According to the analysis of the Report "In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Forecast Report of China's Agricultural UAV Industry from 2022 to 2027" by The China Research Institute of Industrial Research, the current domestic aviation plant protection area is only 2%, while the world average level is about 17%. However, since 2018, the number of agricultural UAVs in China has been developing rapidly and showing an upward trend, indicating that China has great space for development in this area.

  According to statistics, the penetration rate of flight defense in Xinjiang will reach 80% in 2021, indicating that agricultural UAV is more suitable for development in the vast and sparsely populated plain area. Sichuan and Chongqing are mostly mountainous and hilly terrain with small scale and scattered plots, which are more suitable for traditional operations. Therefore, the flight defense permeability is low and agricultural UAV is difficult to develop.

  At present, the agricultural UAVs in China are mainly remote sensing UAVs and pesticide applicators, but seeding UAVs are seldom used. However, with the support of national policies, the development of agricultural UAV has welcomed huge opportunities. More and more farmers are willing to buy UAV to solve some bottleneck problems in agriculture. For example, plant protection UAV can solve the problem that it is difficult to operate efficiently on high-stalk crops, paddy fields and hilly ground.

  The key to the development of agricultural uAVs is manpower. Because the use of uav has certain technical requirements, special training of remote control pilots is time-consuming and laborious, it is impossible to spend a lot of money and time to train thousands of remote control pilots. Therefore, if agricultural UAV wants to develop, it is necessary to develop to "fool" UAV, so that every agricultural manipulator can master and use it, so as to truly achieve popularity.
