Japanese Plant Protection UAV Huge Market Space Set Off A Big Competition Bewteen China And Japan

In recent years, China's plant protection UAV enterprises are developing very rapidly. With the increasingly fierce competition in the domestic market, many enterprises began to actively go abroad and open up new space for development. In Japan, due to aging and other reasons, the agricultural population has dropped drastically. As the demand for intelligent products such as plant protection unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is still high, it has become the country of choice for Chinese enterprises to go overseas.

Japanese agriculture has a high degree of mechanization and advanced agricultural technology, but it is also facing the problem of decreasing number of practitioners year by year. According to data released by Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Japan's agricultural population fell below 2 million for the first time this year, a decrease of 60% from 1990, and will further reduce the population supporting agriculture in the future.

Japan's agricultural population is obviously aging plant protection UAV market is maturing.

The main reason for the sharp decline in Japan's agricultural population is the aging population. The average age of the Japanese agricultural population has reached 67 years of age. As they grow older, many farmers have to abandon farming. In addition, the hard working environment, there is no fixed rest day, coupled with income instability so that Japanese young people at a loss to agricultural production.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the application of plant protection drone in the field of agriculture in Japan has a long history. At present, the related market development is quite mature. According to a report from Seed Planning, a market research firm in Tokyo, the Japanese plant protection UAV market is expected to continue its rapid growth from 1.2 billion yen in 2016 to 20 billion yen in 2022.

China's plant protection UAV enterprises to open up overseas markets Japan became the first choice Faced with the tremendous impact of imported agricultural products and the problem of rural aging, Japan's agriculture urgently needs smarter, more efficient and easy-to-operate plant protection equipment to increase production efficiency and solve the problem of labor loss and scarce agricultural high-tech personnel.

Therefore, China's plant protection UAV enterprises in the process of internationalization, the market is mature and the greater potential for development of Japan has become the first choice. At present, one of the leaders in the domestic plant protection UAV industry, Polaris Technologies, has started to explore the Japanese market and recently released the P20 plant protection UAV system in Japan.
