Robotic Poultry Egg Collection Market Report 2026

The robotic poultry egg collection market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.3 billion in 2025 to $1.45 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to manual egg collection practices, increased labor dependency, rising poultry farm expansion, demand for higher egg output, focus on reducing egg contamination.

The robotic poultry egg collection market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.18 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to adoption of robotic egg systems, rising poultry automation trends, demand for breakage-free egg movement, growth of large-scale layer farms, emphasis on hygiene and operational efficiency. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of automated egg collection mechanisms, rising demand for gentle egg handling to reduce breakage, growth in modular egg collection systems for different farm sizes, greater focus on hygiene-optimized egg movement and sorting, expansion of high-capacity collection systems for large layer farms.

Rising investments in agricultural modernization are expected to drive growth in the robotic poultry egg collection market. Agricultural modernization involves adopting advanced technologies, improved practices, and innovative systems to enhance productivity, efficiency, and sustainability in farming. These investments are increasing due to the growing need to improve crop yields and ensure food security for a rapidly expanding global population. Modernization efforts support robotic poultry egg collection by enabling automation that lowers labor costs, reduces egg damage, and improves overall farm efficiency. For example, in January 2024, NFU Mutual, a UK-based insurance and financial services company, reported that in 2023 nearly 20% of farmers had invested or planned to invest in agritech solutions, up from 13% the previous year. This rising investment is driving demand for robotic poultry egg collection systems.

The surge in egg production is expected to drive the growth of the robotic poultry egg collections market going forward. Egg production refers to the process of producing eggs, typically by poultry such as chickens, for consumption or commercial purposes. This increase in egg production is largely driven by rising demand for poultry products, fueled by population growth, higher protein consumption, and changing dietary preferences. Robotic poultry egg collection systems support egg production by automating the collection process, minimizing egg damage, improving flock hygiene, and enabling farmers to manage larger flocks more efficiently. For example, in June 2023, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, a US-based government agency, the United States produced a total of 9.37 billion eggs in May 2023, representing a 4% increase compared to the previous year. Therefore, the surge in egg production is driving the growth of the robotic poultry egg collections market.

Key companies in robotic poultry egg collection market are focusing on technological advancements such as smart egg flow control systems to improve collection efficiency, minimize egg breakage, and optimize coordination across multiple barns. Smart egg flow control systems are automated technologies that monitor egg counts and adjust the speed and timing of conveyor belts to ensure smooth, damage-free collection. For instance, in January 2024, Hotraco Agri B.V., a Netherlands-based company, launched the Fortica CEC Controller, which automates egg collection from multiple barns by coordinating conveyor belts according to real-time egg counts. This prevents system overload, reduces egg damage, and integrates seamlessly into existing poultry house automation, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing labor requirements.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on motors, sensors, electronic components, and metal assemblies used in robotic poultry egg collection systems have increased manufacturing costs and slowed adoption, especially among small-scale farms and distributors in regions with heavy import reliance such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America. These tariffs impact fully automated and robotic arm-based systems the most due to their complex hardware requirements; however, they also encourage domestic production, innovation in cost-efficient system designs, and reduced long-term dependency on imported components.
