Harvesting Technology Market Report 2026

The harvesting technology market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $14.23 billion in 2025 to $15.01 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to mechanization of agriculture, labor shortages in farming, growth of commercial farming, demand for faster harvesting, increase in crop production.

The harvesting technology market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.99 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to autonomous farm machinery adoption, growth of precision agriculture, investments in smart farming, government support for mechanization, rising global food demand. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of automated harvesting equipment, rising demand for labor-efficient technologies, integration of smart sensors in harvesters, expansion of large-scale farming, focus on crop yield optimization.

Increasing demand for specialty crops is expected to drive the growth of the harvesting technology market going forward. Specialty crops include intensively grown products such as fruits, vegetables, dried fruits, tree nuts, horticulture, nursery crops, and floriculture. Harvesting technology is applied to these crops to meet their specific requirements, improve efficiency, maintain quality, and address challenges related to labor and variability. For instance, in August 2025, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, the EU harvested 62.2 million tonnes of fresh vegetables (including melons) in 2024, a 6% increase compared to 58.8 million tonnes in 2023. Therefore, rising demand for specialty crops is expected to fuel growth in the harvesting technology market.

Leading companies in the harvesting technology market are advancing the development of innovative technologies, such as generative AI-powered agri-intelligence platforms, to improve crop yield, optimize resource management, and enhance overall efficiency in agricultural practices. These generative AI-powered agri-intelligence platforms are sophisticated systems that utilize generative artificial intelligence to analyze agricultural data and deliver insights for farming practices. For example, in July 2024, Cropin Technology, an agritech company based in India, introduced Sage, the first real-time generative AI-powered agri-intelligence platform. Sage is designed to provide farmers with actionable insights by analyzing extensive agricultural data in real time, allowing them to make informed decisions that increase crop yield, enhance resource efficiency, and support sustainable farming practices. This cutting-edge platform employs generative AI to offer predictive analytics, crop health monitoring, and personalized recommendations tailored to specific farming conditions.
