The autonomous tractor market is gaining speed despite slumped tractor sales

Tractor sales have been in a slump lately, but new studies show the autonomous tractor market is gaining major traction.

Numbers from USD Analytics show the autonomous tractor market is set to gain 25 percent between now and the end of the decade. Labor challenges have been a driving force behind the decrease.

Groups like John Deere, Kubota, and CNH Industrial are all major players in the market. Global Market Insights says the industry could be worth as much as $26 billion in the coming years.
