Industry Findings: Argentina’s agricultural exporters and contract manufacturing hubs have pushed demand toward aerial systems and lightweight cobots that reduce seasonal labour risk; commercial drone pilots for crop monitoring and ultralight cobots for packing lines are moving into scaled deployments. Vendors who bring agronomy expertise and subscription-based analytics bundled with hardware are capturing recurring revenue, because recyclability, low maintenance and clear yield-uplift metrics determine procurement choices among cooperative buyers.
Industry Progression: Argentina’s agri-export economy is increasingly turning to robotics to mitigate labour variability and improve yield predictability. A key proof point was AgTech deployments of autonomous spraying drones in 2023–2024, led by top producers seeking consistent coverage and cost efficiency. Their results have accelerated interest in robotics-as-a-service contracts, shifting demand toward providers combining hardware, agronomy analytics and maintenance in a unified model.
Industry Players: Market entities include Mercado Libre, ABB Argentina, FANUC regional partners and university spinouts. Argentina’s buyer calculus increasingly values integrated services as a hedge against operational risk: regional e-commerce and FMCG expansions (2023–2024) drove multi-site fulfilment automation pilots, and procurement now favours vendors offering financeable pilots, local engineering and supply-chain resilience rather than one-off hardware sales.
