The global variable rate technology market was valued at $2.02 billion in 2021, and it is expected to grow with a CAGR of 20.28% during the forecast period 2022-2027 to reach $6.09 billion by 2027. The growth in the global variable rate technology market is expected to be driven by increasing demand for agricultural output and decreasing labor force in the agriculture industry.

Market Lifecycle Stage

The global variable rate technology market is still in the introductory phase in developing countries and reached the growth phase in developed countries. Globally, research and development activities are underway to develop highly productive variable rate technology products. The demand for variable rate technology is expected to increase in the future as the government across the nations are planning for sustainable agricultural production.

Tapping the smallholder farmer segment with affordable variable rate technology solutions for agricultural input application is one of the major opportunities in the global variable rate technology market. Many start-ups have been emerging across the global variable rate technology market with affordable variable rate technology software solutions to attain a competitive advantage by tapping the smallholder farmer segment.

Impact

• The gap between the U.S. and other global countries in the pace of adoption of other precision agricultural technologies is relatively narrow. However, in the case of variable rate technology, the adoption rate is around 14.1%. Therefore, the global variable rate technology market players have room for growth across the U.S. and other global countries during the forecast period.
• As per the World Bank data, the employment percentage in agriculture decreased by around 13% during 2000-2019. The steep decrease in the agricultural labor population has to be replaced with an efficient technological solution to bridge the supply and demand gap in the agricultural industry. Reducing the agricultural workforce and increasing labor costs is expected to bring more space for automation in the agriculture industry and, thus, the demand for variable rate technology.

Impact of COVID-19

The outbreak of COVID-19 made the farmers realize the benefits of investing in technologies rather than relying on the workforce, as they experienced the worst labor shortage during the pandemic, which negatively impacted overall production. Using variable rate technology in agriculture is a suitable solution to overcome these difficulties. Thus, COVID-19 has positively impacted the global variable rate technology market in the long run by making farmers realize the financial benefits of investing in variable rate technology.

Market Segmentation:

Executive Summary

Over the past decade, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have witnessed several significant developments such as considerable reductions in weight, size, and cost, enhancement battery life, and increase in the degree of autonomy in operations.

These developments have led to their wider adoption for a diverse range of applications across commercial and non-commercial end users. Companies operating in the UAV industry are working toward the development of fully autonomous UAVs, which will eliminate the need for a ground-based controller in the future.

This will enable UAVs to perform tasks without human interventions. Moreover, this will reduce the operating cost of UAVs and make them a highly cost-effective solution across a varied range of commercial applications.

Presently, the spectrum of UAV applications is increasing, especially for small UAVs, which are now being widely adopted across the hobbyist end user. The prime factor behind the rise in demand for UAVs for commercial and hobbyist applications is their low price, compact size, and improved performance.

UAVs have now become more convenient in their operation, and consequently, are widely preferred among different industry verticals. Commercial UAVs have witnessed significant growth over the past few years, especially after exemptions from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations in the U.S. European countries are also lenient toward the rulemaking for commercial UAVs.

These exemptions have supported the demand growth for commercial and consumer UAVs globally. The military UAV market dominates the overall UAV market in terms of revenue generation, owing to the high unit price, which ranges from nearly $XX thousand to $XX million. Military UAVs are an integral part of any country’s defense system.

Countries across the globe have increased their spending to procure advanced UAVs for surveillance on their border and to combat the rising terrorist activities. The U.S. is an early adopter of drone technology, and it is anticipated to be able to maintain its dominance in terms of revenue generation in the global UAV market during the forecast period.

On the other hand, Asia-Pacific (APAC), which is one of the largest importers of UAVs, holds immense potential to grow at a rapid pace and convert itself into a multi-billion-dollar market. The lack of a regulatory framework for the adoption of UAVs in beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations pose a substantial threat to the more widespread adoption of UAVs.

However, consortiums and regulatory bodies are anticipated to play a pivotal role in the drone industry growth, since the future growth of the market majorly depends on regulatory frameworks.

Some of the prominent consortiums are Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), UAV Systems Association (UAVSA), and Association of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems the U.K. (ARPAS The U.K.).

Considering the increased demand for drones in commercial applications as well as the growth potential, established markets, such as the U.S. and major European countries, are actively implementing their respective laws and regulations governing the commercial drone industry.

The FAA and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) are the prominent regulatory bodies in the U.S. and Europe, respectively. Initially, drones took fleet for a short range of about 1 km distance from the controller, keeping the drone in the visual line of sight (VLOS) of the remote pilot.

However, about over a decade, the need for operating drones beyond VLOS is proliferating due to the increasing demand for commercial applications, such as package delivery, critical infrastructure inspection (rail, oil and gas, windmill), and others.

These applications require drones to operate in BVLOS operations. The following figure represents the operating range for drones in BVLOS and VLOS.

Figure 1: Operat ing Range for VLOS and BVLOS

For operating drones in the BVLOS range, there are various restrictions imposed by the aviation department in various countries. Each country has its own set of rules for drone operations. For instance, the FAA is the regulatory body for American Civil Aviation. The authority creates regulations for the use of drones in commercial applications.

For operating UAVs in BVLOS for commercial applications, the operator has to take a clearance certificate, and after obtaining the certificate, there are also certain restrictions related to the flying range and height of UAVs.

There are some specific applications such as search and rescue, package delivery, inspection, and border patrol, which can be performed through BVLOS operations. In military and government applications, the drones already fly in the BVLOS range, while in commercial applications, the BVLOS operations are yet to commence by 2021.

In most countries, BVLOS flights, as of now, are not permitted, or they are highly regulated. According to FAA, in 2019, numerous applications emerged regarding BVLOS operations in FAA. The increase in the need for BVLOS operations makes it necessary for the industry to introduce and deploy unmanned or UAS traffic management (UTM) systems.

Since 2016, NASA is leading most of the research and development initiatives in the UTM arena and has been involved in testing its UTM platform with various industry partners under its testing capability level (TCL) program.

A similar degree of research is taking place in Europe to develop and design a UTM system. The drone market in Europe envisions drone services for 3D mapping, infrastructure, geo-fencing, and goods delivery in the coming future.

Since 2016, U-space in Europe has been gradually developing a new set of services to support safe and efficient applications of drones in the airspace. There is a fixed timeframe according to which these services are expected to be launched in Europe.

In addition to this, other countries such as China, Singapore, Japan, and Australia are also making considerable efforts to develop their respective UTM systems.
