Global Strawberry-harvesting Robot Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Strawberry-harvesting Robot market size is predicted to grow from US$ 8.61 million in 2025 to US$ 20.77 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.5% from 2026 to 2032.

The strawberry-harvesting robot mounted on a travel platform utilizes machine vision to detect red fruit and calculate its position in three-dimensional space, assessing maturity by classifying the fruit into ripe, intermediate, and unripe area fractions. The robot cuts the peduncle to harvest sufficiently mature fruit, with its machine vision algorithm showing a coefficient of determination of 0.84 during greenhouse operational tests. Setting the maturity level parameter at 70 or 80% resulted in higher selection accuracy, demonstrating the robot's ability to precisely identify and harvest strawberries at optimal ripeness. This technology addresses the challenges of selective harvesting by automating the assessment and collection process based on specific maturity criteria. In 2025, global Strawberry-harvesting Robot production reached approximately 80 units with an average global market price of around k US$110 per unit.

The strawberry-harvesting robot industry is entering a period of rapid development. The increasingly severe global shortage of agricultural labor is driving governments and private investors to increase funding support for this sector. In the United States, manual harvesting costs already account for 70% of strawberry production costs and continue to rise, whereas robotic harvesting can increase efficiency fivefold, significantly improving profitability for fruit growers. Israeli startup Daily Robotics has developed the Q2 strawberry-harvesting robot, which achieves two to three times the efficiency of manual labor, with a single operator managing eight robots that pack strawberries directly into boxes. This highly efficient solution delivers substantial economic returns for enterprises. Technologically, the robot uses a vision system for automatic identification and classification, and is equipped with a flexible robotic arm for gentle picking to avoid fruit damage. CNH Industrial has invested in Advanced Farm Technologies to jointly promote the commercialization of robotic harvesting for fruits such as apples and strawberries. In terms of business models, the industry is shifting from single-function to multifunctional capabilities, enabling higher robot utilization by swapping end-effectors to perform tasks such as pollination and weeding. Nanjing Xiyue Intelligent Technology points out that the widespread adoption of harvesting robots depends on two conditions: agricultural labor wages approaching those in developed countries, and robots offering multifunctionality to increase utilization rates. In the future, the industry will place greater emphasis on environmental adaptability and cross-disciplinary collaboration. The biggest challenge for artificial intelligence in agriculture lies in environmental adaptability, requiring enhanced collaboration between agronomists and technology companies. Meanwhile, agricultural robots are expanding from controlled environments to diverse cultivation models; for instance, Norway’s Noronn harvesting robot has been widely adopted by large-scale strawberry growers across Europe.
