An agriculture drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) used in the farming practices to monitor crop growth and increase crop protection. The major components of agriculture drone includes frames, controller systems, propulsion systems, camera systems, navigation systems and batteries. The agriculture drone captures high resolution image which is helpful for data management and analysis. Agriculture drones helps in monitoring crop conditions, minimizing chances of pest infestation and lowering chances of irrigation leakage problem. The agriculture drones can be used in a wide range of applications such as precision agriculture, weed management, livestock monitoring, nursery management, and many more. Agriculture drones assess soil conditions, provides easy crop monitoring, detect field areas inflicted by weeds, diseases & pests infestation, and balance dosage amount of the fertilizers & pesticides for managing the cultivation of the crops. The agriculture drones are used to visualize crop vigor, chlorophyll content and green biomass.

Based on the offering, the global agriculture drones market segmented into hardware and software and services. The software and services are projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period because of venture capitalists in the agricultural start-up companies for developing software and analytics across the globe.

Based on the mode of operation, the global agriculture drones market segmented into remotely operated agriculture drones, semi-autonomous agriculture drones, and fully-autonomous agriculture drones. The fully-autonomous agriculture drones is expected to grow at a higher rate during the forecast period as it helps to minimize chances of soil compression by checking soil clogging issues with aerial mapping to optimize farming practices.

Based on the range, the global agriculture drones market segmented into Visual Line of Sight (VLOS), Extended Visual Line of Sight (EVLOS) and Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS). The Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) is expected to grow at faster rate during the forecast period as it is features with direct visual contact and easy in monitoring at a very low altitude airspace operations for aerial mapping. The Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) segment is projected to grow at faster rate during the forecast period as it cover wider range of arable land to capture data. However, a risk of data theft or intrusion detection associated with beyond line of sight agricultural drones and stringent government regulations pertaining to it’s usage across the world hinders the growth of beyond line of sight agricultural drones.

Based on the application, the global agriculture drones market segmented into precision agriculture, livestock monitoring, precision fish farming, precision forestry, smart greenhouse, and others. The precision agriculture is expected to grow at faster rate during the forecast period because of the increasing usage of drones which help in balancing the amount of the input fertilizer applications to maintain crop health, reduce work and increase comfort for farmers and reduce input cost which is boosting the growth of the global agriculture drones market. The research & development of seed companies are focussing to invest on the solutions of drones and data analysis for phenotypic seeds trails which is driving the demand of the global agriculture drones market. Also, growing concern for management of the dosage for herbicide spraying and inventory management in the large scale farming to count the number of trees are the major applications areas in the precision agriculture which is boosting the growth of the global agriculture drones market.
